Leveling your turntable, your approach?


Not satisfied still with the sound from my TT setup, I decided to revisit the leveling situation. I discovered it was fine side to side, it was slightly low in the back, by 1mm or so. However, I thought why not tackle the levelness as it effects the arc of the cartridge with an actual record on the platter. A whole new issue was presented as my 5" Empire spirit level spanned from label to rim of several records to dial in a new dead level as the stylus would ride. Have I reinvented the wheel on leveling, or is this a novel approach, Cheers, BR

David, you are one dedicated tablesmith.

I don't like round levels; use one of those 4" line levels for framing. Place it along the path 'tween spindle and stylus. Level there is all that matters, I've seen too many platters that are level there but not here and everywhere. Makes you CRAZY!
