Help me understand cartridge alignment
A 2.2mm shift in the mounting hole dropped the SPU I have right into place for Baerwald geometry. While I thought the sound was great with it off by the 2.2MM (I know I said 5 but I was wrong in the end) it turns out that it's better properly alig...

I think the arm must be off somehow. I've explored every option. Tomorrow I'm going to adjust the PTS by 2.5mm (I measure today) so an SPU will hit Baerwald exactly.  
SPU People: I love my Royal N. Which SPU will I like even better?
Thanks for the info. I think I'm looking for more of a taste of the old SPU sound. I have an SL15 so I know what that it. It sounds like I should be looking for one of the Anniversary models!

Hey Greg- as a person who will no doubt based on family history begin to have a decline in hearing soon, I do appreciate every moment I can enjoy music! Thanks for your post. Hope you have a great holiday season!

I am leaning in the Woodpecker direction. Found one locally at a good price. Looking at it this weekend. Also trying to figure out how to strengthen the wall shelf to hold the Stabi R

Sota Nova Vacuum by a country mile. Sadly vacuum tables are out because of space limitations. Nowhere to put the air supply. If I had enough room I would just build/buy a massive stand and an idler. That will have to wait for the next house.

Lots of interesting suggestions but 4 were Kuzma R. I think you have your answer. Believe me, I would have bought one already if it didn't weigh 100lbs! I don't have a  strong enough wall shelf for that.

SL1200G is an interesting suggestion. Have you compared it to a expensive belt drive?

Someone I know suggested a Feickert Woodpecker. Anyone with experience with one?

Probably the Well Tempered Versalex Interesting because I have much love for the WT tables. I was using a Simplex on 2 occasions as temp tables while something was being repaired and I always was amazed a how I could probably live with one.  I...
