Cartridge mounting


A local dealer has mounted a Grado Red cartridge on my Thorens table with Rega RB303 tonearm but mounted it with the screws upside down.  I assume it's much easier to do it this way, but aesthetically I don't like the way it looks.  Is it unreasonable to expect with a Rega tonearm that the screws go the other way around?  Thanks for your comments.

As is the case with all adjustments:'' it depends''. In this case it

depends from the headshell ''screws accomodation'' and carts

screw holes construction. BTW AT headshells have screw threads

at the under side. So in your terminology in those headshells all

carts must be fastened ''upside down''. There is no ''up'' and ''down''

in absolute sense. Those are our ''mental orientation'' words . But

language and reality are different things.
