Stylus alignment help
@nosleeptilldownload , Try emailing sklein@soundsofsilence.com to inquire about it. There use to be an ad for it on Audio Asylum as well. Here's a couple more options: www.highendcity.com www.nasotec.com Good Luck! |
@nosleeptilldownload, Here are the three main things I can currently think of: I know it isn’t the best solution or maybe even (a) solution, but try and have your TT at a height that doesn’t require bending/kneeling. If possible, just take your TT to a reputable dealer for a precision alignment. Then, later on when the cartridge suspension has sagged a little,..I bought on of these... NASOTEC headshell alignment block. available through www.soundsofsilence.com . It’s a clear acrylic "see-through" block with etched reference markings that make adjusting VTA VERY EASY . It’s a good reference for visual azimuth as well. The good thing about it is it can be set on a lp next to your tonearm and is visually a real help! All the best! |
@nosleeptilldownload, Hi, I'm intimately familiar with these debilitating issues. I've been dealing with polymyalgia rhuematica (primary) , for years, and fibromyalgia (secondary) diagnosis recently. I got to the point that I could barely take care of my most intimate basic daily functions. It's been a real point of frustration. The fact that for almost one month, I could not even think about listening to music was a big feeling of "not much left for me". I'm able to function right now due to the miracle of (predisone). I'm going to think more about this and respond. Good Luck! |
Like @tablejockey says, the grid is a means of initial relationship. Going forward it is how the cantilever/stylus is in alignment. Your pictures should be taken at straight angles. I do find the Op's post timely as I was recently thinking about a thread on helpful hints/tools for audiophiles into vinyl that are aging or disabled that would be helpful. |
