Well Tempered Amadeus

Samtse, just set the cartridge parallel to the lines and you'll be fine....hopefully you've done so by now...seems to me you're overthinking over there...that is cut and dry.
What you want to concern yourself with is to be careful not to overdamp (do not submerge the ball too low in the fluid)

word on the street is Mr Firebaugh has many cartridges to play with....

Chashas1, I'm still kind of struggling to understand various comments about the Amadeus. If the headshell is fixed in position, how is it possible to "set the cartridge parallel to the lines"? This would imply you can alter the position of the cartridge in the headshell (i.e., by at least twisting it). But how is this possible if the headshell is fixed in position? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi Chashas,on my previous post,i also said set up finished.but after i listen carefully many time,i found a little bit distrotion in high frequence on last track,so i check Amadeus set up again,but it's right,So i wonder is it i have not set the overhang?or may be Benz Micro is not suitable for Amadeus.thanks
Sam

Bob, you don't want to twist the headshell...a cartridge will still have some play to make fine adjustments...the WTT website blog doesn't answer your questions?

Samtse, I wish I could help, but I have no experience with your cartridge. I have seen a wide variety of cartridges used with the Amadeus, so I'd assume you should have no problems...without being there I'm useless :).

Thanks, Chashas1. So if I understand you correctly, you CAN adjust the tracking angle simply by virtue of the "play" afforded by the cartridge-mounting screws in the headshell mounting holes, correct? (BTW, by "twisting" in my above post, I was referring to twisting the cartridge, not the headshell, which I know is fixed in position.)

Is there also enough "play" to achieve the optimum overhang of 0.5"? It seems this would be difficult to do, considering the widely varying lateral distances between the mounting holes and the styli of various cartridges.

These issues are not addressed in either the WTA blog or the user manual, as far as I can tell.

Thanks again,
-Bob
