Not sure about Rega but American Audiophile in Lynbrook is familiar with Grado. |
It's bent right of center at an angle. Not straight up and down |
"
The stylus is bent off center. I'll have to return it."
Bent how? What exactly are you seeing? (There's a reason I'm asking.) |
I had a Grado Sonata that I was quite happy with, now I've got a Grado Master with my Rega, and I couldn't be more satisfied.
Good luck.

there are much more variables on sliding over the label at the end of playback:
1. horizontally leveled turntable position
2. anti-skate
3. VTF
seems like it's already been done LOTS of trial/error and indeed professional help is desirable to stop 'torturing' cartridge, arm and records. |
cleeds makes a great point, I know I have in the past had carts that their cantilever are a bit askew and I just set the cart where the cantilever is straight not the cart body. Sounds more to be a glitch in the antiskateing set up. |
rvpiano I found the problem
The stylus is bent off center. I'll have to return it. You probably mean that the cantilever is bent, not the stylus. Either way, this doesn't sound like the cause of your problem, but rather damage that occurred during the install as a result of it. |
Rega arms and grado cartridges are not incompatible. I'm not sure where you heard that one.
But whatever you have going on is something totally diferent.

Thank you for all your replies.

Have you checked anti skating? |
Make sure the arm isn't hitting something in its travels, binding on something....sure sounds mechanical to me.
|
After checking proper angle, anti-skating, proper stylus pressure and leveling the surface on which the turntable is standing, an oddity occurs.
At the end of a record the tonearm shoots toward the middle of the disc and sometimes on to the label.
Also, there is evidence of mistracking

Either way, that makes it more than twice as difficult to apply all kinesthetic or hands on activities even having the fact that there are more than plenty of youtube videos on how to set-up and hook-up cartridge to non-sophisticated tonearm. |
Audioden is in Lake Grove. If one's a p-mount a the other is not, you need something... |
