Exchanging the
cartridge mounting plate
Should you ever need or want to exchange the
mounting plate, you can easily do so by turning
the 2 small black ball plunger grub screws on
each side of the headshell.
Undo them by 1-2 revolutions anti-clockwise.
Now undo the front clamp lock screw -
just 1 revolution anti-clockwise - and you can
remove the mounting plate (press down to
remove) and insert another mounting plate.
If interested in additional mounting plate(s),
please ask your dealer for details.
Turn back the M2 ball plunger grub screws on
each side and tightern the lock screw to close
the headshell’s clamp again.
Setting antiskating
It is best to set antiskating last -
after lateral balance, cartridge
alignment and precise levelling of the
pivot plane have been achieved.
Otherwise the antiskating would further have to
battle with uncertain and parasitic side forces
due to the pivot plane not being dead level -
and/or the inevitable breakdown torque force in
all pivot tonearms not being compensated by
lateral balance and thus applying additional
force on the inward groove wall, directly
resulting in extra skating force.
The antiskating is applied by turning the knob
screw on the side of the top right of the bearing
houseing inward i.e. clockwise rotation.
On its tip is a magnet which interacts with 3
magnets on the inner vertical bearing house.
The exchangable and adjustable mounting is available
in 2 versions:
- “standard” with 5 mm thickness ( 1 pc included)
- “extra” with 8 mm thickness - suitable for small body
cartridges
