Spinning!

[jefec]

Really digging on the ROK. Spinning the Chet Baker set. I never get tired of CB's playing or his singing. A differrent arm is off a Pioneer PL-50. It has detatchable heaqdshells, now I can spin mono's with my Grado. The old one felt loose when cueing. Who knows?

Question, what do the rest of you use to equally weight various headshells so VTF can stay consistent. Also, where on the headshell do you apply it? So far I like the ease of switching out headshells rather than cartridges. Yes I was lazy are more often than not didn't swap to mono.

PS how do you post pics?

The easiest way for me is to adjust the VTF with a digital scale after each headshell swap.
They are relatively inexpensive and quite accurate.:thmbsp:
Here is an example of one from an on line seller.

I don't add weights to headshells. I readjust VTF after swapping a headshell/cartridge. The gram scales on my tonearms are very accurate and make dialing in VTF quick & easy.

Spinning the OG Leadbelly box set on Folkways. Amazing to say the least.
