Get a cheap tracking force guage and the HI FI NEWS test LP. I just set up my new system and it was really simple. Having the Graham arm made it really simple, but with these tools I was able to get an unbelievable sound. I can track on the last track on side one with NO distortion. All I did was set the tracking force to aprox 2 grams. My reccomended range is 1.8 - 2.2. I then adjusted VTA, tracking force and anti-skate using the "tracking" tracks on side one. They also have an azimuth setting track on side two. It took me about 3/4 hour to get perfect sound. The allignment on a Graham arm is great, it's not on the table.
Cartridge Setup?
Being a confirmed Audiogonoholic, I love the idea of getting a great deal on a cartridge for my just-acquired turntable rig.I hate the idea of going to a dealer and paying retail for a cartridge. But I'm really nervous about the prospect of setting up my own system. Any thoughts?
Thanks, David
