My only beef right now is that the Denon setup in the manual for the straight arm does not coincide with a Geo-disc protractor I have. Comes up too short even with cart. full out at end. The AT cart I had before just baaarly made it to the mark on the platter of the Geo Disc. I think I will try the method where you draw a straight line from the spindle and measure two points that are specified, and comprimise the the best alignment at both. Will try it with Denons instructions though and see how it sounds that way. I used a scale to set T force instead of the dial thing on the back of the arm. Well it does seem to be working but I don't know if any lube lasts forever. Like they might not have envisioned a 25+ year lifetime of the product.
Denon DP-62L users out there?
Wondering who else has one of these things and if you have had to do any maintenance to the machine, such as bearing lube or anything else to keep it perking along. Also if anyone has the curved tonearm wand and wants to sell or trade for the straight arm. After not turning on my system for a couple of years, I was itching to try an old but mint Audioquest MC cart. I obtained in a package deal. Got an inexpensive Monolithic PS-1 preamp from a seller here so that I could use an MC with the system. Really impressed with the sound but at setup the straight arm comes up just a little short according to my setup device. But the sound is killer anyway. What I was hoping for, and not bad for the small investment. I paid no more than a couple hondo for this deck in about mint condx. and I see they go for alot more nowadays.
