Example 1: Rectangular Plinth
Setup is more straightforward if the plinth is rectangular, or has a straight surface that can be used as a
90 degree reference and constant distance from the center spindle.
In this example we have a rectangular plinth with a totally flat surface, meaning that the plinth has no
ridge to butt the tone arm base plate against.
So, to utilize the plinth’s rectangular form, position the Stealth One with base plate only (no arm) and
“eyeball” it parallel to the turntable plinth’s right-hand edge. Place the scribed line white LP on the
“eyeball” it parallel to the turntable plinth’s right-hand edge. Place the scribed line white LP on the
platter. Iteratively, adjust the tone arm base plate’s “eyeball” position by zeroing in on the stylus
overhang scribe line on the white LP, as below:

This process gets close to the final tone arm base plate position. Leave the tone arm base plate in place
and grab some strapping tape.
