    AT-VM95E > Goldring E3 = tinnitus

    Hello, Got a Audio Technica AT-LP5X. Changed the cartridge from the stock AT-VM95E to a Goldring E3 today. Got tinnitus in my left ear that I usually don't notice, unless I play loud music. Redid the adjustment with the protractor to be sure, but still the same. I think the sound doesn't sound...

    Sony PS-X60 Overhang check

    The rubber mat has the protractor on it which is pretty neat, so you just flip it over and hey presto! The manual for the X-60 says to use the 235 marker, but this mat offers 237... At 237 it looks like it's overhanging, but if I pull the mat 2mm further round, it looks bang on... So... What...

    Jig or Protractor?

    What's better a alignment jig or protractor? Anyone know of a Jig for a Luxman PD-289 ? I figured out how to use the protractor but since this TT doesn't have a swapable headshell I think a Jig would make it easier to change carts. What's everyone's thoughts?

    Help! I can't get rid of distortion!

    Hi there folks, I have a Sansui 2000x hooked up to a Rotel RP 3000. Both are new to me, but in great shape cosmetically. I recently replaced the stylus on a nagatron catridge (from 1985) with one from audio technica and after multiple balance and alignments (using the protractor on...

    Cartridge alignment problems

    I need help! Im trying to set up a Lyra Titan i on a Clearaudio Ovation/Satisfy tonearm turntable with a DB Systems protractor. The problem is I cannot see how to align the cart with the lines; the head shell obscures the view, and the cartridge angles inward. So I have tried to align the...

    Sansui SR-636 alignment adventures

    I went through the process of perfecting the alignment on my Sansui SR-636 and I found out that there is plenty of information on the web regarding this table and the SR-838 that perhaps might be a bit misleading, so I thought I'll post the few observations I had along the way. The alignment for...

    Which Protractor Should I Use?

    Hey there all, I have just installed the much lauded 8MZ to kickstart my Grado Black and after all the hype I'm not completely sold. I have a feeling that you could align this stylus extremely well and it would still want perfection. I've tried Stevenson and Lofgren B in a plug in generator...

    Technics Missaligned Headshell & Cartridge???

    Hi all, I have a vintage Technics SL-1300 in very nice working condition. I can not get the head-shell/cartridge to align properly on the protractor I have. Please see picture. The headshell came with the turntable. But I am not 100% 'shure' it is the correct one for this model. The stylus tip...

    Question about upgrading the Cartridge on my Numark TT250USB

    Hey guys, I've had my TT250USB Numark turntable for over a year now and it's in great shape and has been treating me really well. I did upgrade the needle from a conical to an elliptical about 3 months into owning it, and I had been a little fearful of messing with the settlings till recently...

    Technics overhang gauge

    Hi all, Looking at the specs on VE's tonearm database, except for the original model, the SL 1200 mk2 through mk5 arms are 230mm effective length, 215mm pivot to spindle and thus 15 overhang length. There is that little plastic Technics SFK0135-01 Overhang Gauge for SL-1200, I assume it is...

    Proctractor on Thorens turntables

    Thorens provided headshell gauges for installing a cartridge correctly along the tonearm. Since now - not having a gauge - I've been using the measurements I did on the user manual's gauge picture (TP-60 headshell): which I also double checked with actual headshell gauge measurements provided...
