Tangentional Cartridge geometry adjustment F. [. . . ] The most sensitive profiles are Van Den Hul and Microridge types. 1. With felt pen mark the position where the pillar meets the base as a point of reference. Use a good recording, preferably acoustic instruments and listen. If the tonearm is too low the sound has a tendency to have an overblown base and the stereo picture is imprecise. If the tonearm is too high the sound tends to be too bright, ie. too aggressive, especially on acoustic strings. Try moving the tonearm up for 3 mm and down for 3 mm to judge where the arm sounds most balanced with more precise stereo picture. Fine adjustments can be made in the range of 0. 5 mm. VTA can also be altered by changing the tracking force. An increase in tracking force is equivalent to lowering the tonearm and vice-versa. Now fix height firmly. _________________________________________________________________ STOGI/STOGI REFERENCE 15 KUZMA G. Azimuth Adjustment Normally this is obtained automatically when the tonearm is mounted, providing the lines (Fig. 22) Azimuth describes the angle between the record surface and the stylus, viewed from the front of the cartridge. This should be 90° and can be checked by observing if the cartridge body is square with its mirror image on the blank part of a record or by putting a mirror under the stylus (taking care that the stylus does not slide). If using a mirror ensure that it is absolutely flat. Stogi Reference: If stogi reference the cartridge is not square, the tube can be rotated slightly to obtain the correct azimuth. Firstly the tube should be released by loosening the two screws on the top of the arm. 23) Use Allen key 2. 5 mm and turn screw for only 90°. Then (being careful not to push the tube off the armrest) insert the Allen key into the screw on the right side of the arm. (This screw is above the cueing device. ) Observing the position of the marks on the tonearm and the cartridge body in a mirror, this screw should be turned for approximately 45° to alter the azimuth. A clockwise turn of the screw causes a clockwise rotation of the arm and vice-versa. When the cartridge body is square fix the top two screws firmly but do not overtighten as the locking mechanism holds very quickly. [. . . ] Holding by pillar, place tonearm into plastic bag taking care of bias. Replace securing insert and put two halves of packing together. Secure and replace in box and sleeve. _________________________________________________________________ STOGI/STOGI REFERENCE 24 KUZMA CONTENTS Page I.
