EMT 948 w/ 929 tonearm.


Maybe someone can help. I set the tone arm to specs @ 250 g. The eyelet is rite above the counterweight hole for the Anti skate. whether I connect the counter weight or not, most of my LPs skip. What am I doing wrong?

Hi @danmar123 ,

Do you use EMT TSD15 cartridge?

Here is high (VTA) adjustment gauge for  EMT 929 and TSD15.

You can make such gauge on peace of cardboard yourself. The distance between armboard and bearing center is 35mm for EMT948.

 

Hello @alexberger, I know about the gauge, I did my measurement with a stick ruler, & yes it's the TSD/MRB. On my digital scale, the VTA is @ 2.87g, anything closer to the 2.5g gives me trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Even with 2.4g it should work good. Probably the zero balance is not set correctly.

@alexberger  any reading of below 2.8 the record skips. I checked the scale w/5g sync. weight supplied with the scale, & it's calibrated correctly.
