Benz help


Question...Just got my first MC and semi-naked cantilever in a benz micro H2. I set the tracking force, and I'm just a little worried as the angle of the cantilever changes quite a bit from its "resting" state. Does this happen with all of them, or does it need to play at it's "resting state" angle. I hope this makes some sense.

Hello Pablo, I've run across this frequently. I'm getting more and more convinced most anti-skate settings should be about half of the tracking force. If the cantilever is skewed it will sound better with it plays in the groove straight. I've taken the time to listen and compare, no doubt. Who'd a thought? :)
I have a Benz Ebony and the stylus tracks right in the middle. I have a VPI Signature arm - am using their anti-skate gizmo with the o rings in the middle of the arm which kind of agrees with Headsnappin's advice above.
Sorry guys, should have been more clear. My left/right angle isn't to bad, just slightly off. Actually rides in the middle without the anti-skate.

What I meant was the verticle angle, being viewed perpendicularly to the cart. It seems to be riding pretty low compared to when there is no contact with the record. I didn't know if the MC's compressed more than the MM's.
