SME Setup With Slotted Headshell

Thanks for this. Very helpful. The Feickert has three alignment possibilities, Baerwald (B), Lofgren (L) or Stevenson (S). The only problem for me in this case is that it won't work with a Decca cartridge because that cartridge doesn't have a cantilever and the lines on the Feickert are too narrow to see under the wide cartridge body. So it goes back.

Luckily I set the pivot to spindle before I sent back the SME so I can use the DB protector. I also found an Accutrak arc protractor that I had ordered a while ago and never used. I'm going to play with that and then decide whether to order the DB. It's actually starting to sound darn nice just using the little paper protector that came with the Decca. Lots of options!
