Cartridge Setup?


Being a confirmed Audiogonoholic, I love the idea of getting a great deal on a cartridge for my just-acquired turntable rig.I hate the idea of going to a dealer and paying retail for a cartridge. But I'm really nervous about the prospect of setting up my own system. Any thoughts?

Thanks, David

David,
Check Galen Carol Audio (gcaudio.com)website. He has a nice little article on how to set up your turntable and cartridge. You can print it off free and it will be a substantial help. The most useful "instrument" I have come accross to set your cartridge up correctly is the Wallytractor protractor. They are ARM SPECIFIC so make sure you have the right one. He also makes an instrument to set up VTA. Graham makes a great coupling box to set azmuth.
It all takes time and significant "tinkering by ear" to get the end result. Good luck and go for it.
