My AT150MLX Cartridge has been misaligned for 4 years

Hey Guys and Gals,

I recently spent the much needed time to realign my cartridge (I ordered the AVID Rega Protractor) to find out I was way off BUT my records still sounded great, it wasn't until the inner grooves on most records became an issue.  After realigning the cartridge things are soooo much better but not perfect.  Is it possible I damaged the cartridge?  I also last week upgraded my tube in my C220.  Any thoughts?

my overhang was too forward on the tone arm when I first got the TT I downloaded from Vinyl Engine a Stevensons protractor.


Stevenson is more backwards than others.

When you download and print something in the wrong size (it is always happens with home printers) then you are totally off.

Actually I put the pdf on a thumb drive and brought it to kinkos to have them print to scale and laminate it LOL . I think this was my mistake because there are lines that you need to make sure are pointing at the pivot point of the tonearm I failed to do that.  The AVID protractor has it listed as the first thing to do.  Still spinning and all seems much better.

Thanks again follow up :)

Hope you all are staying safe during this crazy time...
