Cartridge Alignment HELP

You are correct in that some of the two point protractors require you to move them after getting a tentative alignement at the first point. The protractor you referance from enjoythemusic sould allow you to not move the protractor and the stylus touch both points at the crosshairs if the overhang is correct. This is the "front to back" movement of the cartridge in the headshell for simplicity. Once you have your overhang set corectly and the stylus is centered at both of the alignment points then you want to align the cartridge (stylus actually) to the parallel lines. Check that the second point agrees and you are done. This is a simplistic overview to get you started. Take you time. Use very good light. Be patient. It will take some small adjustments. There are also "arc" protractors that give you a line that the stylus follows and then two points on that line to do the final alignment avalible at vinyl engine dot com. Hope this helps. There is alot written about this topic on many sites. Just remember go slow, tape your turntable platter so it cannot move while you are touching the stylus to the protractor (you don't want to damage the stylus before you get it aligned) and use magnification if you need to. Patience will be rewarded. Don't forget to set the tracking force first and remove or adjust to minimum your antiskate bias while you are doing the alignment.
