Rennie_Perth There HAS to be a way to tilt the arm to correct for azimuth. All the new arms from VPI are adjusted by swinging the dropped counterweight. Yours is an older design. I checked the VPI website and the owners'manual is not posted for your arm. I had a ESL arm once whose azimuth was adjusted by rotating the base which was cast with a slight angle to it. Try rotating yours and/or call or write to VPI. They certainly will have the answer.
JMW 12.5 ZYX Cosmos azimuth setting
I have been exploring setting azimuth on my JMW 12.5 with a Fluke DMM, Cardas test LP and the (great) MF DVD.
I'm sure I'm doing everything right but have found I need to adjust the JMW azimuth ring to a surprising degree. If you can imagine that the two 'side screws' on the ring, which when in the neutral position, are at quarter to three (on the clock), my set-up has to shift to twenty to two.
I've double checked the TT level, made sure everything' tight and the cartridge alignment is accurate. And i've got the azimuth set within 3% so I'm pretty happy about that, but feel a bit uncomfortable seeing such necessary twist of the ring!
Has anybody had a similar experience with the ring setting?
Thanks
Peter
