@audphile1 good point... I asked it and it said absolutely.
Do I still need to buy a stylus force gauge if I can get the settings off the internet?
I have a Nagaoka MP-500 MM car coming in the mail for my Techniqs 1200G turntable. I asked AI what the settings should be for the Techniqs 1200G. It recommended:
--------------------------------
VTF - 1.7G
Anti Skate 1.5 through 1.7
VTA Dial 3
Overhang 52mm
-------------------------------------

If you would like some free advice from an expert, check out these videos at your own pace. https://www.wallyanalog.com/videos but yes, you need a stylus force gauge try Riverstone Audio, includes calibration weights: $35 |
Do you know how to properly use the markings on the tone arm weight? Its not as simple as setting it to the number you think, you must balance the whole tone arm with the cart installed on it, basically balancing in the air on its own then set the weights gradients to zero, then you have a starting point. Now is that going to be accurate enough is another story. Buy a gauge as others have said. |
