Thanks for the tips. I'll try them out. I also ordered the Michael Fremmer's DVD on turntable setup (recommended somewhere else on these forums): http://www.amazon.com/21st-Century-Vinyl-Practical-Turntable/dp/B000HA4WU2.
Tips for fine tuning a VPI Scoutmaster
I'm a first-time TT owner. I just bought a VPI Scoutmaster used, and I have some questions about fine tuning it. I've got the force and azimuth in a good state, but I'd like to learn how to make the fine adjustments. Would love to hear your tips for getting everything perfect.
1. How do I determine the correct tonearm height? I know how to move it up and down, but how do I know when it's perfect?
2. How do I fine-tune the azimuth. I just put the needle on a non-moving record, put a thin metal rod across the top and am eyeing it. Are there any tools/tricks for making sure it's right on?
3. Any other tips?
Thanks!
