@Threemicsrecords Lots of IDG could be an indication that the stylus is worn. Using the adapter shouldn't cause too much trouble as long as the arm can handle the extra height. :) JC
My friend gave me some old Sonus phono cartridge (PME .5/LC) with Nude "Line Contact" Elliptical Diamond Stylus Configuration (Sounds like fun :D) and I have to say it sounds nice but IGD are pain in the neck even though I used protractor and other methods. Maybe th eproblem is that I'm using p-mount to 1/2 adapter.
@BadEditPro thanks, I got the turntable, preamplifier and 2 RCA-RCA cables and it works fine, my only issue is a buzz when I turn the volume up, may be either the preamp or cartridge, but hay, it works. I suppose it's automatic so doesn't need setup.
@Paspiedreamcast Don't worry... It's really very simple and once you've done it a few times you don't even think about it anymore. Besides, the DD33 doesn't require any setup... Just stick a cart on the tone arm and start playing records. :) JC
All the information and explanations on the internet just boggle my mind and remind me why CD's and cassettes became so popular. Hopefully I'll figure it out once my turntable (a Technics SL-DD33) arrives, but I'm just afraid that I'll set it up completely wrong and damage my records.
I'll look around for the Technics Gauge. In the meantime I set the cartridge at 52mm. Sounds good! I previously had it at 50mm according to the protractor. Thanks for the help!
@arndur Get a Technics Overhang Gauge or measure 52 mm from the rear rubber washer (the edge closets to the plug) to the stylus tip. Make sure the cart is PERFECTLY straight in the headshell. You're done. That's it. Make sure you are tracking the M97xE at 1.25 grams at the stylus tip. If you use the stabilizer brush, that will mean setting the tracking force to a total of 1.75 and setting the anti-skate to 1.25. If you run with the brush up all the time, set the tracking force to 1.25. :) JC
I really feel like I just learned something
