Another item to add to your laundry list is an arc or a Feickert protractor to ensure that overhang is accurately set. The Feickert will also measure pivot to spindle distance. If these two items are not accurately adjusted, the rest is for naught.
Lyra Skala installation
Hi everybody,
I just bought an awesome Lyra Skala mc low output cartridge and I have so many doubts about his right calibration/instalation.
My analog front end consist of Clearaudio Champion Level II turntable, SME 309 tone arm, Jelco JAC 502 phono cable, LFD MC-2 phono pre, Mark Levinson 380s pre, Krell FPB 300Cx amp and Wilson Audio W/P system 5.1 everything cabled by the classical Cello Strings.
My first doubt is about screws. What dou you recommend to my Lyra/SME combo? I have 3 options, large/medium/small height.
I got the best sound from the Lyra at 1,66 vtf weight and 1,6 antiskating force but I would have to get some more feedback from other users (Jcarr?)
I also would like to be recommended by a better phono cable. Which phono cable do you recommend?
What size of vinyl do you prefer to calibrate de HTA? 120g? 140g? 180g? 200g?
Finally I would want to say that this Lyra produces an amazing sound, fast, detailed, open, dynamic, warm... and it is probably imho the emd of my analog road. I would like to say thanks to Jonathan Carr for make so excelent mc cartridge to the audiophile and music lovers.
Kindest regards
