KD 500 w/ Grace 707 arm. Stylus type.

Many moons ago I owned that table and arm. Any Grado is a perfect match for the 7 gram mass 707. BTW, that KD 500 is an outstanding table!!

Thanks! When I put the 707 on it was with  a Grado FTE+1? The hum was deafening. Switched out to a Radio Shack R27? Like a Shure M75 I think. No hum, sounds good. Just wondering what's out there. All the special styli seem to produce best if the tonearm is adjustable. Not doing that. Is what it is.

I can't really help in any way, but I'm awfully curious as to why you're so adverse to doing any kind of adjustments?  It's not, after all, as if adjusting VAT or azimuth is particularly difficult....

It’s kinda like saying that I’ve got this car I’m going to drive it but there is no way I’m going to even touch the steering wheel....

the very nature of driving requires that you at least learn the controls.

Turntables are much the same.

To reach high level/high quality playback via analog, then one must not just learn the controls..but master them..to also learn much about the self and how one hears; to be refined in multiple directions.

It’s like buying a Ferrari or Ariel Atom... and only using it to get groceries.

You should have a Rega instead, as they are designed with all of this in situ.

Or, get the table to a professional, so they can do the set up for you and then just leave it alone, except for swapping out styli when the time comes.
