My AT150MLX Cartridge has been misaligned for 4 years


Hey Guys and Gals,

I recently spent the much needed time to realign my cartridge (I ordered the AVID Rega Protractor) to find out I was way off BUT my records still sounded great, it wasn't until the inner grooves on most records became an issue.  After realigning the cartridge things are soooo much better but not perfect.  Is it possible I damaged the cartridge?  I also last week upgraded my tube in my C220.  Any thoughts?

HI,
Way off? 
I assume your previous protractor was showing something else otherwise your records would not sound great tiil end of record side, so your cartridge was not sounding so great and was missaligned to start with. Still after setting with the new protractor sounds better but not perfect?
As chakster@ pointed out this is a micro line stylus and needs attention in setting up, not only HTA but VTF, VTA.....
If much better at record inner grooves you are on the right path. New tubes need time to settle and please try to make one change at a time.
