If the lift mechanism has no provision for adjustment then likely the arm pillar is too high.With the table off place the arm on the record.Looking from the side does it seem that the arm is reasonably level from pivot to cart? Does the headshell look parallel to the record? When checking downforce are you sure arm is not contacting lift? I would also examine cantilever of cart to see if possibly suspension has come loose.Good luck.
Problem Setting Up ClearAudio Concept
Hey,
I'm somewhat new to setting up turntables (I've only set one other table up before). I'm having two problems. 1) The tonearm lift appears to be too low so even when raised the tonearm hits the record before the lift. 2) The tonearm is not tracking laterally. This second problem is obviously a bigger deal cause it makes the turntable unusable. Does anyone know what I might have set up incorrectly?
Thanks for your time!
Michael
