Finally had a new Stanton cartridge & stylus installed....

And I spun the black circle for a few hours!
Didn't want to risk damaging my new Ten vinyl with the old one!


Got my brother in laws friend to install it, he used to service turntables and he knows how to set the tone arm!

Now...bring the rest of the catalogue!

So it's all set up sweet now? Don't drop the needle on the mat!

I won't!
I think I may have accidentally moved the weight back a bit whilst wiping the dust from under the cover, d'oh.
Seems fine.

I got the weight set at 2 and anti skid at 2.
Just a question, when you drop the arm down onto the vinyl is it meant to go slow then suddenly drop sorta quick?
Or is it meant to be slow all the way until contact with the vinyl?
Mine goes down slow then when near the vinyl it kinda drops.

I don't know, I never use my turntable! :shock: Maybe this weekend I will...

I would say, it should drop though because if it descends too slowly, it might skid over the grooves just as it touches. I don't know though, sorry!

yeah seems logical. I think it is okay, I'm too worried.
Don't wanna screw up my vinyls! lol
