Dr. Feickert Turntable

rsf507,

I have a tracking force gauge, but am not sure what other parameters to check.

Stylus overhang, VTA, and anti-skating to name just 3. Getting all settings exact is crucial for optimum sound IMHO. Get anything wrong and you end up with just ok sound. 

Good luck

I am having the Feickert turntable and Origin arm set up by my local stereo establishment, not by Music Direct. It should be done properly.

Well, it’s assembled. Right away I, hearing a big improvement. Of course it could be new component syndrome. But right now it sounds gorgeous.

One big problem: Anti skating mechanism was missing from the order.
‘Right now listening without it.
How much am I missing without it?

I’m, of course, getting a replacement.

I had no idea how much of a difference a turntable could make.
