ADJUSTING THE MAGENTA TT10 TURNTABLE

AZIMUTH REPLACEMENT STYLUS

If you have bought a replacement needle, check if the tip is really
well mounted. Check the cantilever from the front with a
magnifying glass. The cantilever should be perpendicular to the
cartridge body. The tip should be in line with the cantilever. It is a
good practice to take the small art director's magnifying glass with
you to the shop and insist that you check before you pay. A needle
tip which is out of line can not read the stereo groove. Just to be
sure.
