| Need help setting overhang on the Technics SL-1200 Tvad - I have just today set the overhang of the Shure M97 using the Mint Best Tractor and have to agree that the SL-1200 Mk2 now sounds absolutely incredible; I am amazed that I am getting this good kind of sound out of a cartridge that can be pu... | |
| Need help setting overhang on the Technics SL-1200 Ho72 - actually I have always felt that finding the correct overhang is the most important thing and have always done this before anything else; after the overhang is found I check the tracking force and set the antiskate; and lastly I attempt to ... | |
| Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301 Ekobesky - that is really interesting and makes a lot of sense. I had set the tracking force at 1.55 grams and, using the blank record, had set the antiskate at around 1.1, so if you take that times 1.4 you have 1.54 which would imply that the ant... | |
| Need help setting overhang on the Technics SL-1200 Riley804 - does the height of the M97 cartridge, 15.875mmm, include the stylus? I measured roughly 18mm on mine with the styles included which would mean that the height of the arm should be set at 3mm if you go by the Technics SL-1200 manual. Als... | |
| Need help setting overhang on the Technics SL-1200 Thanks Ho72. I'll definately keep that in mind if I ever try the AT 440 in a Sumiko headshell. | |
| Need help setting overhang on the Technics SL-1200 Thanks Riley804 and Tvad. This is very helpful. | |
| Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301 Thank you Ekobesky and Onetwothreego for your thoughts on antiskate. I guess another way to set antiskate is to pick a record where you know a singer or instument is right in the center of the soundstage. If the antiskate is too weak the singer or... | |
| What is your cartridge and tracking force used Ortofon 2M Bronze - 1.63 grams - mounted on a Rega RB-301. | |
| Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301 Inpepinnovations - I can't agree with that; I much perfer the grooveless record approach and find it gives me the best results. Of course there's more than one way to skin a cat. | |
| Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301 Johnbrown - apparently there are people on vinylengine.com who think otherwise; that's where I got my information. The blank side of the album I use does work for anti-skate; once you get it right the cartridge stays right in the middle and won't ... | |
| Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301 I've been doing searchs on thoughts about the optimum overhang for the Rega tonearm. One that I kept running across said the overhang for the Rega tonearm should be 15mm. So rather than spend $110 for a Mint Best Protractor I thought I would simpl... | |
| Mimt LP Protractor VPI Scoumaster Set Up Tool Compared to the setting achieved with the VPI alignment tool, did you move the cartridge forward in the headshell or further back in the headshell? Also approximately how much in millimeters did you move it? Thanks, Bob | |

| Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301 Musicfile - the VTA appears to be alright; I had heard that the Ortofon 2M was designed with the Rega arm in mind. I did play a few albums with the felt mat removed; kind of liked that; a little more lively. |
