| can u even put ortofons on straight tone arms??? i dont think youj can... i think youj would have to buy their OM series for the vestax b/c they ujse the straight tonearm. |

first of all, concordes are really light as .
u need to calibrate your tonearm...
put a blank vinyl on the tt (reverse of a 1-sided promo is good enuff) or the little protective needle sheaths on the cart - so nothing gets damaged.
set the anti-skate to 0, and then play with the weight until the tonearm balances in the air horizontally (set the weight as 0 to this point), then add as much weight as u want, imo go with about 2-3g. with s tonearms, the anti-skate is recommended to be set at half the weight put on the cart, with straight, it is meant to be half that again, i would go with a 1/3 instead tho to prolong the life of your records towards the end of the song so that the anti-skate does not damage the grooves in an attempt to pull to the middle.
now u should be sorted, if u need more help stu u kno where 2 find me ;) |
