it has been a long time, did your Ariston come with a tonearm? If not you will need to I.D. the one you have as what you want to know will be concerning it, not your AATT. I think my RD IIs had no Ariston Audio tonearm available whatsoever. {although I can't be sure} I have a SME3009 and there is bunch of adjustments but the one your asking about was simply the same as the weight on the needle, I think called 'tracking force' which is actually decided by the recomendation of the needle mfg. in my case it was ¾ - 1½ Grams which in terms of area is actually huge, like over a ton /sq.in. I guess non of that prob. does you the least bit of help, but I thought, just in case. vettemanbc
