I've never messed with the tonearm balance/counterweight thingie. The Sony direct-drive I've got now is a reconditioned model, so in theory it should be a'ight... but..... fear...

Hey RTD, don't let the turntable arm scare ya. About a gram and a half, give or take. And make sure the anti-skating is set to the same number.

After moving to Tucson in the '90s, I discovered what the dry climate can mean for belt-drive turntables. The belts turned to friggin' dust! Happy to be back home in the moist east now...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:40pm
Mike East:

aha - I missed it today. my cartridge tells me 2.5 grams on the counter balance...I think.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:40pm
Moist East:

Glad to have you back, Rev.
Avatar 3:44pm
Carmichael:

I think that's the max, Mike, at least for my Technics SL-Q3. I think I set mine at 1.6g, but it could vary by mfgr. I can't remember my needle mfgr, but it's elliptical and has less drag and more groove accuracy than a conical version.

I missed the convo too, so I may be repeating some info from earlier.

Rev - did you have tons of static cling on your table as well when you were in the heat? my tables are right next to a heating pipe and in winter its basically a van der graaf generator if i don't turn on the humidifier
Avatar 3:50pm
Rev. Turnip Druid:

I don't remember static issues, Steve. I moved back east in 2001 so it's been a while, memory is in tatters. Mostly I just remember having to replace belts twice due to them drying up & cracking off...

that is so nutty. i can only imagine what what would happen to cassettes.

Need to set your cartridge to within the specs the manufacturer suggests! they are all designed differently... 1.5 - 2 g is pretty common.

Cheri Pi:

Long overdue response to RTD- Rev, my tonearm is old skool-no thingy that keeps it in place so if someone, aka MR Cheri Pi knocks it out of whack with his clumsy hands then I have to zero the whole thing and rebalance. It's easy now that I've done it a thousand times. still a pain in the ass tho

Glenn, whilst I appreciate the drone, I have a soft spot for the uilleann pipes. They're not tempered, and you get an upper-body workout, as opposed to a cardiovascular one.

@Mary: I had a candelabra to the side, but since I couldn't judge where the frame was, and could only extend my arm so far, only one barely made it into frame. Trying for Baez' 1996 LP cover of her "Noël."
