Issue with Grace Tonearm


Hi. Glad to be a new member. I got a Grace tonearm, said model 560 but couldn't find out anything about it. My problem is the counterweight end is really heavy, and I don't know how to compensate for it. I put a 10g weight on the head shell and that balanced it, but I don't know what to do to set it up on my TT, an older Sota Moonbeam. It has the neatest anti-skating device I've seen! Thanks

I believe your Grace 560 is a 12" tonearm and the mounting distance is 270mm, make sure your turntable plinth is big enough to mount this arm. I suggest you post your question in Analog section, you will get more response.
Itn’t the G-520 = 8", G-540 = 9" and G-560 = 12" ?

For a normal arm, the second digit of the three-digit number of the model number is a guideline for the length. For example, in terms of length, G-520L <540L <560L.
