Origin Live Arm Rega and Dennesen Soundtracktor


I just installed a new to me Origin Live Encounter tonearm to my Lenco table. I used a armboard drilled to the 223mm recommended in the Origin Live instructions. When I try to use my Dennesen Soundtracktor to set my Lyra Clavis DC cartridge there is not enough headshell length. It would seem that the armboard would have to be somewhere around 220mm or maybe even less. Anyone run into this before, is a Dennesen unusable with this style arm.

I had to set the arm to spindle distance at 222mm to get the correct geometry with a Shelter 9000 (also the 90X). At 223mm I had the same result as you. Fortunately, changing this distance on my Nott. TT was easy. I used a Feikert protractor and Lofgren geometry for these measurements. BTW, the new Encounter with the dual pivot bearings and carbon arm tube with upgraded wiring (balanced wiring used on conquerer and enterprise) represents a huge improvement.
