Tips for fine tuning a VPI Scoutmaster


I'm a first-time TT owner. I just bought a VPI Scoutmaster used, and I have some questions about fine tuning it. I've got the force and azimuth in a good state, but I'd like to learn how to make the fine adjustments. Would love to hear your tips for getting everything perfect.

1. How do I determine the correct tonearm height? I know how to move it up and down, but how do I know when it's perfect?

2. How do I fine-tune the azimuth. I just put the needle on a non-moving record, put a thin metal rod across the top and am eyeing it. Are there any tools/tricks for making sure it's right on?

3. Any other tips?

Thanks!

Get a Gingko platform for the Scoutmaster. I also like what a Black Diamond Racing clamp brought when use on my Scoutmaster.
