There are 2 popular alignment families, known as Baerwald (or Lofgren A) and Stevenson. The 2 alignment geometries are calculated to minimise tracking error and distortion. Lofgren A or Baerwald alignment spreads the distortion across the surface of the record, resulting in the lowest average distortion figures. Stevenson alignments are optimised f...
This protractor will align a cartridge to the factory Technics alignment, the same that is achieved when using the supplied overhang gauge. This protractor offers an extremely accurate way to align your cartridge using the Technics null radii of 58.8 and 113.5MM, resulting in an overhang of 15MM and an offset angle of 22 degrees, exactly as specifi...

19 de ago. de 2016 · Vinyl Engine. Not the best to look at, but full of information, Vinyl Engine claims to be “everything you need to get the best sound from your records”. What that translates as is a peerless archive of turntable, tonearm and cartridge user manuals from Clearaudio to Crosley.
In many ways, Vinyl Engine fulfills that unspoken, idealistic mandate except for one serious issue: I can't join. I've tried disabling the privacy oriented addons that I count on when online but nothing changes.
