Mijo is on the right track. Properly aligned, a cartridge will be perfectly aligned at two points on its arc across the record. Simple protractors give you those two points. If it only aligns at one, more tweaking is required. If you have the means, I highly recommend a more advanced protractor that uses the tonearm horizontal pivot as a reference, like the Dennesen Soundtractor (if you can find one.) Makes quick work of overhang and offset.
Is this Cartridge Alignment good?
Hi all,
I just got a new MP-110 and have aligned it. Im using a RB110 tonearm for rega planar 1
I used elvon alignment for 9" arms
Theres 2 points on the alignment protractor, A and B. A is the outside alignment and B is in the inner grooves.
for point A it aligns perfectly and if I were to move it, it would not align perfect but for point B it does not align perfect, can I get any suggestions for why it would align for point A but not for point B?
I have provided pictures
Any help is appreciated, thank you
