Installing a new cartridge on a P3


Hello everyone
Thanks for all the help and opinions you have given me and others seeking input on this website. I need your help again. I have a P3 TT with an RB300 Tonearm and am going to replace my Sumiko Blue Point Special cartridge with a Clearaudio Aurum Beta S. Will I have to make adjustments to anything and, if so, what and how do I measure or guage them? How do I make sure the cartridge is aligned properly? I keep reading about "no VTA adjustment" capabilities on this tone arm. Is this something I am going to have to address? Is there a nifty "This is everything you have to do when changing your cartridge and this is how to do it" pamphlet available?

Thanks in advance for you help.

I have a little experience with Rega tables, but not with the Clearaudio cartridge that you are switching to.
The need for VTA adjustment is a very real possibility.
There is a very simple piece, available from Easyriser, for the Rega tables. Also, you will need a decent protractor, and a sylus pressure guage.
I have had really good luck dealing with the guys at The Needledoctor; needledoctor,com. They are very knowledgeable, and you can find all the tools that you will need.
Also,you can talk to Bill at Lauerman Audio, in Knoxville, Tn. He is the service tech for the importer of Rega tables.
You can contact him at RealHif@aol.com.,or 865-521-6464.
But I would try the guys at The Needle Doctor, first. They will be a lot quicker.
Hope that helps.
