Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301
I removed the Ortofon 2m Bronze from the Ortofon headshell this afternoon and mounted it on an inexpensive Gemini headshell. Wouldn't you know it sounded better with the Gemini headshell; a more natural and relaxed presentation. Just goes to show ...

Thanks Tvad; I'll definately try that; makes a lot of sense.

Ekobesky - well I sold the Rega P3-24 and now have the Ortofon 2M Bronze mounted on a Ortofon SH-4 headshell which is plugged into the arm on a new Technics SL-1200 Mk 2. I love the way this setup sounds; definately an improvement over anything I ...

Ekobesky - I'm using the Rega cartridge alignment protractor that came with the P3-24 but I have also downloaded the Rega Stevenson ARC protractor off vinylengine.com and seem to get the same results.

Johnntb53 - I just ordered an Ortofon SH-4 detachable headshell to use on the SL-1200 - as soon as I get it I'll remove the Ortofon 2M Bronze from the Rega P3-24 and listen to it on the SL-1200 - should be interesting.

Johnnyb53 - a person who has compared both cartridges just told me this today: "the AT 150 is a wonderful cartridge, but I say stick with the 2M Bronze. The AT can grab some really high frequencies better than the Ortofon, but for overall balance ...

Musicfile - it is sounding superb. Down the road I may eventually go with the 2M Black stylus.

Johnnyb53 - I'll have to try the Audio-Technica 150 MLX. Have you compared it to the Ortofon 2M Bronze, which falls in the same price catagory? Thanks. Bob

Ekobesky - I use that dot on the top of the 2M Bronze as point of reference also. I have the dot just back from the center hole on top of the headshell so only half the dot shows.

Johnny53 - thanks for your comments. I liked the results obtained from the Vinyl Engine protractor also. I will definately give the Audio Technica AT150MLX a listen.

Curio - I initially set the VTA with the arm tube parallel with the record; it was set at less than 1mm as I recall. I found out that with the headshell parallel with the record surface the VTA is set at 6mm. I have been talking with an person tha...

Tvad - I'm afraid with the M97 though, because the body of the cartrige slants down from the mounting brackets, the only shure way to tell if the VTA is correct is to take a very strong magnifying glass and eyeball the stylus while the record is p... 
Need help setting overhang on the Technics SL-1200
Well I spent the weekend continuing to "push the envelop" with this Shure M97 on the Technics SL-1200. I still wasn't completely satisfied with the VTA and decided to see if the top of cartridge was exactly parallel with the record. I placed the c...
