TONE ARM AND CARTRIDGE SETTINGS The major cause of problems in sound and skipping on the vinyl is the lack of proper set up of the needle and turntable adjustments. The needle is designed to operate at a specific angle to the vinyl. The T. 80 has several adjustments to correctly position the needle to the vinyl. The first adjustment is the correct installation of the cartridge. Your cartridge is to be mounted into the headshell as pre the mounting instructions included with the cartridge. The Stanton 500, 680 and 890 series of cartridges require the use of the two screws mounting into the headshell. For your convenience, some of these products can be purchased already mounted and pre-adjusted from your local Stanton dealer. If you are using these 1/2" mounted products with a headshell in a mobile application or you are doing heavy scratching, May want to use an extra shell weight. The Master series of products (Trackmaster, Groovemaster, etc. ) are designed with their own mounting that eliminates the need for a separate headshell and the wiring to the cartridge. The body of the cartridge should be parallel with the centerline of the headshell-tone arm, when viewed from the front to the back. The second adjustment is at the installation of the cartridge-head-shell assembly into the tone arm tube lock. Holding the tone arm tube in one hand, insert the cartridge-headshell into the tube lock with the other hand. Turn the lock ring clockwise (when viewed from the rear) until the headshell is locked tightly into the tone arm. Remove the needle protector from the cartridge and place the needle on record. [. . . ] 13) TONE ARM This is a fully manual tone arm. To start playback, gently place the stylus on the record using the headshell finger support. Do not drop the stylus onto the record as it may cause damage to the diamond tip and to the record. with 331/3 rpm Electronic brake Less than 1 sec. [. . . ]
