Sounds like the cartridge is too light for the arm / counterweight combo. Either that or the wire itself is binding up somehow and trying to push the arm up. Could be a combo of the two things too. Sean

Cardas Upgrade - Arm Balancing Problem
Hey guys, I just upgraded my RB300 arm wires to the Cardas wire set-up and installed a new cartridge on it all at the same time. The cartridge is the Goldring 1042.
When I balance the arm while the tracking is set to zero the arm floats all the way up. The counter weight (standard) is set all the way to the "front part" of the rear stub and the arm floats all the way up to its highest position.
Is the Goldring that light, or is the wire that much lighter than the standard wire? Did the guy who did the upgrade screw up some kind of bearing?
