Cartridge mounting:
Locate the hex screws for fixing the cartridge, or use screws supplied with the cartridge. Fix
the cartridge under the headshell in such a position that the tip of the diamond is at the
furthest point of the headshell.
With tweezers or other appropriate tool, (if using pliers be aware that strong force can break
the wires under the insulation material) connect pins according colours:
Red right +
Green right -
White left +
Blue left -
Tracking force:
Adjust the thicker counterweight so that the cartridge is balanced while keeping the thinner
counterweight as far away from the bearing as possible. If the cartridge is tilted (azimuth)
when viewed from the front, rotate the thicker counterweight. For some lighter cartridges
one counterweight will be adequate to obtain the correct tracking force.
To adjust tracking force use a guage and move the counterweight closer to the bearing to
obtain the chosen force. Consult your dealer.
Cartridge set up:
Place the cartridge on the record and observe azimuth and height of the tonearm (VTA).
Height (VTA):
Adjust the height of the tonearm by raising or lowering the bearing base so that the arm tube
is parallel to the record.
Stabi S: Release the VTA screw which holds the brass pillar, while holding the bearing
base. Then reposition it and lock it back.
Armbase: Release the VTA screw in the armbase while holding the bearing base and
reposition it and lock it back.
Azimuth:
Level the turntable horizontally. Any change will affect the azimuth. Observe the mirror
image of the cartridge on the record and adjust the tilt of the cartridge so that the mirror
image and the cartridge will be vertical and straight. For this adjustment, rotate the thinner
counterweight. If you find that the tilt is excessive, then first rotate the thicker
counterweight and then make fine adjustments with the thinner counterweight. See Page 2.
Tangential geometry:
Adjust the geometry of the cartridge in the headshell so that zero point will be on the
protractor in both null points (66, 120.9 mm). Consult your dealer .
Oil for damping:
Carefully lift the tube base, bearing in mind the length of the wires and put it on top of the
platter. Cut the tip off the nozzle of the PVC bottle and squeeze to fill the reservoir
surrounding the bearing shaft till the fluid level reaches the groove line inside the reservoir.
