Since my Kuzma 4PT and SME 3012R both have removable headshells, I can usually replicate perfect cartridge/headshell geometry on the workbench under a large magnifier. Slide 'em into the tonearm and good to go.
First time mount perfect!!!
I have set up dozens of cartridges in my 40 years and Ive always had to tweak the alignment. Not this time!! I checked and rechecked and its dead on!!! The alignment gods are with me! Time to buy a lottery ticket! Forsome reason I had dreaded putting this one on because I'm such a perfectionist and shake a little. It was an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze retipped from Soundsmith. Has anyone else got this lucky?
