To Raul, what you say re build quality is true and what you say regarding relying on what our years tell us is correct also but this depends very much on your level of experience and your ears. You have set up at least hundreds of cart/arm combinations and have a well trained ear. No disrespect to Hanaleimike but he and many others may rely on test records as they need some simple mechanical device to assist in determining correct alignment. Just what does correct alignment sound like? If something is not quite right where does one look for the cure? There are a number of adjustment parameters and things like test records assist with these adjustments when hands on practical experience or the assistance of a skilled tutor is missing.
Doesn't make what you say incorrect just that you have to remember where you are coming from is a different place to many others.
