| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? do their own research about what I think is basic cartridge alignment before coming here with threads on how/why their cart is twisted in the headshell. If the OP had done that, we wouldn't be getting this attitude of how it must be all of us who ... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? I look forward to your findings in comparing the two alignments. I haven't read of anyone ever doing this before. But I wouldn't be surprised if the differences are pretty minor. Well - so far - I have had this alignment rolling since thr weekend.... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? Dear VP, I guess I did get a little exasperated. But for a while you did not seem to be reading or digesting the responses to your question, which from the get-go contained the information you needed. I was reading and digesting everything. I did ... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? in case more reassurance is needed, I am hereby agreeing with Vinyladdict, Lewm, and Dougdeacon. If all you care about is getting the cartridge square with the headshell, you could have used the plastic jig that came with the Technics and saved a ... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? If the cartridge is not square in the shell, or leaning to me that means that the suspension of the cartridge may be "leaning".See that's my thing too. While I understand the possibility - whilst ever so slight - that a toe-in/toe-out may play int... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? All,Thanks again for the all the feedback. I heard back from Yip - maker of the Mint LP Tractor and he did say that some degree of "twist" in the headshell "can" occur to obtain maximum alignment. He did not indicate in any way that it was "normal... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? This is an erroneous assumption, IMO. I'm certain if you email Yip he will verify that he does not scribe the mirror's hash lines according to the headshell."Tvad,Thanks again for all the updates. I do appreciate your time. Regarding the Mint "pro... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? "Line up perfectly to what?"To the headshell - of course. If everything is 100% true on the cart - especially cantilever to body - I should not have to tilt the cart on the shell. When the cantilever is exactly set between the nullpoints - the str... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? "Is your cart set up correctly according to the MintLP...the stylus hits both null points and the cantilever is parallel and centered between the MintLP's mirrored hash lines? If any of these are off, then the cart is not yet dialed in."Tvad,Well.... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? Thanks guys - for all the responses.As far as I can see with my eye - the cantilever is straight - however - without a precise measurement - and I must admit - my eyes were ready to pop out - how can I be absolutely sure? I will assume a precision... |
