Graham 1.5 tone set-up...


Does anyone out there, know the Graham 1.5 Tonearms by heart?

I'm looking for information on how to set up the anti- skate,on my Graham 1.5 Tone-arm ?

I have all the directions that are given when it was bought & purchased, but they are somewhat vague to me.

This Graham 1.5 tone-arm, is set up to an Oracle Delphi Mark V Turntable, & a ZYX Yatra cartridge. I've taken the anti-skate weight the whole way off, & it seems to perform the best.

The ZYX Yatra cartridge is set @ two grams(just like it said it was to be). But the Graham 1.5 tone-arm wants to keep coming back to the tonearm rest.

Is there any traveling repair man out there ??

The silver base Sbrown referred to is only available on the Airy 2 and higher models. The Yatra doesn't have that option.

I strongly urge you to consider adding 4-5g of weight to your headshell "somehow". A blob of Blu-Tack on top would be an easy way to hear the differences. I'd predict better dynamics and significantly better mid-bass. It will make a fine cartridge play even better.
Clearaudio also makes a headshell weight that they shipped with their very light wooden body cartridges. Maybe try Musical Surrounding's, Clearaudio's present distributor or Discovery Cable, Clearaudio's past distributor.
