While trying to find 90 degrees using the tone arm (which showed no improvement) I figured out that it is the head shell that is to be used as the reference point! You seem t... | |
| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? scooby2do... the alignment itself didn't take 2 1/2 hrs but making adjustments to the vta is a change an listen to see if it is better or worse then doing that over an over until you find what you feel is the best ...It sounds like you're rely... | |

| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? scooby2dothe Pro-ject does use a mirror as part of the alignment processBut that's for azimuth, correct?

| Dedicated Phono Cables required?? roberjermanWhether a phono cable costs $10 or $1000 they ALL sound alike!Actually, they don't all sound alike. Many don't measure the same, either, so that should be no surprise. And depending on the system, shielding can be critical in a phono ... | |
