Skewed cantilever


Yeah, on a DV 10x5. A few degrees to the right. Causes me to get more signal from the right channel. Any problem with aligning the cart so that the cantilever, rather than the cartridge body, is perpendicular to the groove? What do I need to be careful of, in doing that? I don't want to wreck my software!

Uh-oh.
You'll have the devil trying to get HTA set..actually, you can't. Using meters on a cassette deck or CDB, you may see channel imbalance...probably will.

You didn't say the age of the cart, if it arrived outta the box this way, or if you may have done it.

Depending on how long it's been in your possesion, you may have an uphill fight w/ the distributor on a warranty claim.

An off center cantilever (on a new unit) is a DEFECTIVE cart. *Unacceptable*.

Broadcast: *Inspect all new carts very, very carefully upon receipt for cantilever alignment. Good reviews result in massive increases in production runs.*

Been there - and suffered - w/ a certain german MM in the $800 price range.
