How long does it take you to install a cartridge?


I have spent a at least a few to several hours installing a cartridge from beginning to end on my VPI table and was wondering how long it takes others.

Dear Hiendmuse: To install a cartridge could be very fast, maybe 20 minutes but to make the " right " set up could take it hours/days or months depending on your own experience, knowledge level, skills, kind of cartridge, tonearm and the process test you have to do it.

Dear Peterayer: ++++ " There is also no azimuth adjustability which saves time.... " +++++

well, I think that that (save time. ) is very high trade off/"price " to pay against the cartridge quality performance level adjusted with the right azymuth: don't you think?

Dear Elizabeth: IMHO you could improve the cartridge quality sounds if you align the cartridge cantilever in a precise way instead " make certain it is square to the headshell. ".

With cartridges with " perfect " aligned cantilever usually works what you are doing now but several cartridges comes with an " off " aligned cantilever. Maybe yours is " perfected squared ".

Anyway, just a tought.
