I told you he would make it right. I am glad to hear he is doing just that.

Also, the VTF (vertical tracking force), is determined by the cartridge, not the turntable. Every cartridge has a desired VTF. It is always stated in the owners manual for the cart as well as online on the manufacturer's website.

What cartridge are you using? It should be somewhere between 1.6 and 2.2 grams.

I also have a device called The Fosgometer, which allows fine setting of azimuth, which is the lateral position of the diamond in the groove. THIS is the device.

Also, if you need some cables to get you by, let me know...I have a ton of cables in all lengths, terminations, and pedigrees.

Yeh, got the VTF... just not wording this right. VPI said it's at 1.8. Read the instructions and looked up some videos to make sure I did it right. It should be pretty dead on.

That fosgometer is pretty detailed stuff. Once things slow down with work, maybe I'll run by one day and get you to do a once over on the turntable. Probably ought to right? It's way nicer than I thought I'd be getting st first.

Also, appreciate the cable offer. I won't have a lot of time next week to put into them. I'll be in meetings all week so it's no big deal.
