Cartridge Setup w/Geodisc by MoFi


Upgrading to a Benz Glider, which I consider to be a significant dollar investment; so, I want setup to be spot on. I only have a Geodisc by Mobile Fidelity. Will it give me a proper setup or do I need the services of a professional?

Thanks in advance.

Analog system is SOTA Sapphire turntable w/Sumiko Premier FT-3 arm. Have Essence Sapphire amp, Audible Illusions pre, Arcam FMJ 23T CD player, and Essence Reference Super Gem speakers.

We are remodeling our kitchen and bath. So, I can afford either a new cartridge or a protractor, not both.
Great suggestions.

I need to try to absorb all the info that you guys have passed to me, as well as other info that I've pulled off the net. Really appreciate all your support. I think I have what I need to do a decent job of set up.

I must admit that I contacted a local stereo store today and learned they do cartridge set ups for $60. Will talk to the gentleman upon his return Monday and see what tools he uses. If I determine he's probably going to do a better job that I could (for example, he may also adjust VTA and stylus pressure too), I may punt and let him do it.

Hope you all have a happy and safe New Year!!
Thought I might get some flack from my last post.

Okaaaay, I'll muddle through and do it myself. Keep your fingers crossed. Won't get the cartridge for two weeks; so, I have a lot of time to learn the process.

Thanks for slapping me back into reality.
Guys,

I'm up to the task. I have a lot of info on the subject that I can refer to. But I have to tell you, if I do this setup myself, I will always wonder if someone with more experience could have done a better job and if I'm hearing everything that the cartridge has to offer. That's just my nature.

Again, thanks for the info and tips. May come back on the forum in a few weeks, after receipt and setup and let you know how everything went.

Again, have a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
