Did I do a good thing or not?

I have used a SHURE V15VxMR on my Technics deck with the stock arm to very good effect. That cartridge, with the original beryllium cantilever, is unequivocally great. Too bad MMs are lost to many "audiophiles." Not fashionable I guess.

Great dynamics, good timbre, excellent tracking. It delivers a strong convincing meat-on-the-bones picture. A very enjoyable cartridge.

Dover I'll try that next time I fire up my Garrard.

Thanks for the tip!

Regards,

Dan

For Dynvector arms use the markings for the counterweight as per the manual for initial placement then do the fine tuning of the counterweight from there - gently back and forth from there - you'll see when its right from my procedure above.

Who has a manual? If I ever had one, I lost it long ago. I don't know if Dynavector still and ifo on their websits, but I guess I'll check and see.

Thanks,

Dan

Manual is readily available on Vinyl Engine and elsewhere. Dover, I set mine up per the markings. That’s pretty much according to the manual, but your added suggestion on how to check for balance by blowing on the wand was new to me.
