Turn table set up

Hi and thanks again. I live in Apple Valley southern California. The jig did not allow the arm to move freely, I think I have to remove the rubber ring on the platter first. I ordered a force gauge. Listened to a 180 gram brand new record. Loads of pop and cracle and highs were distorded. I'll wait for the gauge to show up.

Thank you all for the support. I think I actually have it close to correct. I did the jig again and moved the weight forward about 5mm. The sound that the Van den Hul mc10 produces amazes me. I won't play anymore records until my force gauge arrives. I hear thats an important step in the process. I called Brooks and he's closed until Saturday. If your around Clio maybe you can stop by and make sure I'm set up ok. Thanks again

The manual is somewhat confusing about arm height. I'm still researching this subject. Not sure what the correct height is. I'm still waitng on my stylus force gauge to arrive, its digital.
