Turntable setup:
Ensure that the turntable is levelled horizontally. Tidy up the power cables that runs away
from the signal wires as much as possible.
Tonearm mounting:
Stogi tonearms:
Follow instructions provided with the tonearm. The brass pillar should be removed from the
T base by unlocking it with Allen key ( 3 mm) at the front end of the longer T base .
Notice that the inside hole of the brass pillar is eccentric. This hole should be turned
towards the platter bearing.
First put the tonearm into the brass pillar. The rotational position and height of the tonearm
has yet to be determined so fix the tonearm only gently with Allen key (3 mm). Return the
brass pillar to the T base and note position of the tonearm. Make desired changes before
fixing the tonearm firmly into the brass pillar. The VTA can be adjusted by raising or
lowering the brass pillar in the T base, after releasing the screw with Allen key ( 3 mm).
Other tonearms:
Remove the brass pillar and find underneath two threaded holes. Find the circular brass
armbase (optional) with appropriate cutout. Using Allen key ( 3 mm) and two screws fit this
onto the pillar. Insert back into T base and, with tonearm protractor, position the brass
plate correctly by rotating the brass pillar while releasing the VTA screw with Allen key
(3mm). See fig. 7. Follow tonearm mounting instructions. It is possible that in some
circumstances the lid provided may not fit .
The Rega RB 300 tonearm can fit directly into the hole in the brass pillar. The hole in the
brass pillar should be turned away from the platter bearing and a thin tube inserted over the
tonearm's base. Finally the tonearm should be fixed by an Allen key into the brass pillar.
