View this Thread in Original format wee_rooney hey do any of you's know how to set up the needles on straight tone arms? i know that on standard arms you set them up so that the point of the needle is 15mm away from the front of the centre spindle, but on straight tone arms the needle wont even reach the centre spindal, so where abouts do you position the needle? do you just put it as far forward as possible? cheers Rooney spdandpwr on my shure cartridge i have the cartridge mounted 11 mm away from the tip of the headshell so 11mm away from the end where the technics label is spdandpwr btw is was premounted like that when i purchased the cartridge sr126 i think overhang on a straight arm is supposed to be 50mm. you can angle the cartridge inward 23degress (i think) to make play/sound like S shape tonearm. wee_rooney quote: Originally posted by sr126 i think overhang on a straight arm is supposed to be 50mm. you can angle the cartridge inward 23degress (i think) to make play/sound like S shape tonearm. thanks alot :) CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
