Spu bottom parallel to record?


Hello

Is the bottom of an Ortofon Spu suppose to parallel to the record surface? Cant seem to find any side on photos of a mounted spu.

Thanks for any advice?

Yes, start with the raised part around the cantilever parallel to the record and fine tune from there.

I run my two SPUs with the arm tube parallel to the record surface, then adjust by ear. It's probably the same position as with the SPU bottom parallel, but I haven't checked.
The loading depends on the phono stage, some have SUTs and some don't and they're some with variable gain. The specs are on Ortofon's site. They also have a SPU dedicated SUT.
