Does anyone get turntable set-up?

The various parameters of turntable set-up(this includes the cartridge)are just that-possible starting points. Maybe start there. Then slightly change something(that does't mean buy something). Does it sound better-do not listen for something specific. Don't listen to something specific-that is incorrect. If you are not sure, sleep on it. Does it make you want to listen more to it or not? It's all about brain-waves. I offer this in the interest of music.

I generally listen to piano,drum kit and vocal of a familiar recording.The only parameters to adjust are VTA,VTF and damping.Cartridge alignment/overhang is pretty much set in stone,though adjusting the anti-skate can correct for slight distortions occuring between the two channels.

Go to the needle doctor and I think you will find alot of help. I also think the Absolute sound has some help with this. But their web site is so hardup for money that they charge you 3.00 bucks just to look up a 20 yr old review.

Lloyd Walker provides some very thorough guidance in TT setup:

Set VTF, overhang, azimuth, antiskating and then recheck your VTF. I like Steeley Dan's Aja side 1 as far as listening. Keep in mide you may have to fiddle-*&^%# to get things dialed in. But it will well worth the effort. Feel free to email me for more details.

Slipknot1, I agree with Lloyd Walker, especially his last statement. I would also like to encourage loose cartridge bolts and slightly moving one side forward or backwords to help lock in the sound.
