Hi ppl, well... I have Technics headshell with Pickering Cartridges, but ill buy new Cartridges... and im wonder how to change the cartridge to put the new one??.. i mean.. do I have to remove the screws?? does new cartridges comes with new screws or should i keep this to put the same screws to the new cartridge??
The new Cartridges will be Stanton 680 EL II

| The carts will come with screws, and usually with a little manual. But just look at the "construction", you'll see you don't have to be an engineer to mount them. Just some patience (and a steady hand :D) |

easy, very easy, but the only thing is knowing exactly the placement on the headshell. its usually in the manual of the carts u buy
i think i saw a thread about u asking about cartridges before.. .what did u end up getting? assuming standart carts not concordes
like liquid said, that is why he purchased ortofons and my poor ass purchased stanton trackmaster IIs, no room for errors. |

Btw you have Technics? If you bought them new, you might have noticed there was a white plastic thingamagig coming with it.
That's a stylus alignment tool. If you insert the headshell in that object, the stylus tip should align perfectly with the edge of that white ... erm ... thingy :D |

thanks for mentioning that,... i totally forgot about that tool, is just that i lost mine, so i always was accostumed to improvising and just applying what i thought was right.
Yeah, like Thy said, if you use the alignment tool, which you can buy at a dj/vinyl shop, u can find correct placement on the headshell. |
