When cantilever not parallel to cartridge sides



A newbie question:

I have only bought two new cartridges so far and found that in both cases, the cantilevers are not parallel to the sides of the cartridge bodies. In both cases, I have to twist the cartridge bodies by 20% or so in order to properly set the correct zenith angle.

I wonder is this normal? or should I send it back to the dealer for exchange?

Dear Audiofeil,

In the one short year that I was able to cull together an anologue set-up, I've relied heavily on these forums. There have been plenty of helpful veterans, like yourself, whose advice I have cherished and benefitted from. I have also benefitted a great deal from Audiogon member Stingreen. He has a turntable model above my VPI Scoutmaster. To have referred to him previously in one of your above posts as "Stringbean" in whatever tone that you may have meant as humorous, is, in my opinion, insulting. That statement does not bode well for your character and your sense of empathy or sensitivity towards your fellow Audiogn members.

Please keep your sarcasm to yourself. But continue to share your knowledge, as I have learned from it.

Best Regards,
Judsauce
