Fitting & Balancing the Cartridge
Step 1; Rough Balance
Three plates are fitted to the arm as shipped. This is fine for the
majority of cartridges.
But if your cartridge is light (<6g) you will probably only need
one plate.
If you cartridge is heavy (>8.5g) it is likely you will need three
or more plates.
Extra plates can be ordered for really heavy cartridges (>11g)
The smaller square edged plate can be used to give an
intermediate step and on its own for light cartridges.
Step 2;
Attaching the cartridge
Where possible use the supplied Aluminium M2.5 screws unless;
Your cartridge has tapped holes
(use screws supplied with cartridge).
You need more mass.
Either for a very light weight cartridge or a very low compliance cartridge.
Step 3; Attach the Leads
