Turn table set up

I understand that Michael Framer is training his children and grand children to enter the field. It is the least he could do since he is responsible for this lack of talent. You know, running from here to there, video and all. I saw him do a set up in New York a few years ago. His comments during the process amounted to "if you are too stupid to do this right, you don't deserve to be in the hi-end'. Lovely.

Fremer is right on this, it ain't rocket science, but does require a little manual dexterity, mechanical sense, and being able to hear changes through the system in question. And, a scale! Among other tools. :-)

Hi and thanks again. I live in Apple Valley southern California. The jig did not allow the arm to move freely, I think I have to remove the rubber ring on the platter first. I ordered a force gauge. Listened to a 180 gram brand new record. Loads of pop and cracle and highs were distorded. I'll wait for the gauge to show up.

If all else fails Neyloj2, you might contact the Los Angeles Audio Society. They are a huge group with many mfgs and retailers as members. I feel certain that someone could get you expert advice.
