TAS - turntable setup


Anyone else read the turntable set up in the recent The Absolute Sound. An in-depth step by step guide on how to setup a turntable - BUT - they left out one important step.

Balancing the tonearm. I had to reread the article a number of times to be sure I was not missing that critical step. How could a well-repected audio magazine 'forget' that step - come on, author and proof readers. I am not an expert by any means but I do know that step is very crucial.

...just a caution for those who use electronic scales....most of them have a magnetic attraction to the cartridge. You must modify your scale with an outrigger to eliminate this attraction, or all bets are off.
My AcousTech electronic stylus force gauge is constructed of stainless steel. I've tested it with a neodymium magnet and no part of it can magnetically attracted.
