Andy (who has been tracking his cartridge at 2.0g when it sho...

Gary, From your description I suspect your platter bottom edge is interfering with the chassis top plate as it rotates. This would explain the ringing (could that be caused by scraping?) as you rotate the platter by hand. I would check you have remounted the bearing exactly as it was at time of rem...

Off the top of my head, I think the offset angle is a function of the pivot to spindle distance and arm length. Is there a particular reason why you want to change it so much? I would have started with the makers recomendadtion myself. To be clear the offset angle refered to is the angle a line dra...

Tonearm Offset angle and how important is it.
I have two available arms a SME3009 Mk 2 and a Hadcock 242. The Hadcock specifys an offset angle of 23 degrees while the SME has a minimum angle of 20 degrees. My question is how important is this angle to performance and could the angle for the Hadcock be pushed up to say 37 degree provided the car...

Thanks Nick I understand now. I am fairly open on phono stage suggestions at the moment. I still have that Decware that hums (Still a bit to much for comfort) But I am currently using a little Cambridge 640p SS. Current cartridge is a Sumiko Bluepoint Evo 2 which has a reasonable output about 2.5mv ...
