Kenwood info?

[stereofanboy]

I have a Kenwood KD 3070 and need information on proper setup.

Also, would a Pickering XV-15 be a good match for this table?

Pickering XV 15 would most likely be superb in your Kenny turntable.

Go to Vinyl Engine download the owners manual for the KD-3070 and Pickering XV-15, everything you need to know, after reading still have questions fire away.

The 3070 is a nice table... It looks nice and sounds nice too. I have mine on the bench for a tonearm rewire eventually, as I really enjoy the table, and would like to keep using it. My 3070 came with an XV15, but I haven't used it, as it needs a new stylus.

I read this, and am not sure if it applies to the XV15 as well:

Pickering V-15 was designed for records cut with a 15 degree angle (pre 70s if not 60s) instead of the now universal 20 degree angle.

But lets face it, lots of people use this cartridge, and are more than pleased.

I want to mount the cartridge correctly. The specs say 15mm overhang. Is that what I need to know and how do I utilize that knowledge?

The easy shortcut for mounting the cartridge is "50.5mm from the tip of the cantilever to the washer at the back of the headshell ".

Is this specific to this turntable, or a general rule of thumb?
