Damping system
Damping change
Release black plastic nut by hand and rotate the paddle-screw into the trough with
allen key 1.5 mm. Bend signal wires away to make space for doing this. To secure
paddle at desired height, fix it with rotating CCW plastic nut, while preventing
paddle-screw rotation with inserted allen key.
Optimisation:
The only way to reach optimum damping is by experimentation. Start with the height
of paddle when the needle is in the groove so, that the tip of the paddle is just
touching the surface of the silicone oil. Listen to the sound and increase the depth.
Also observe what happened when the needle touches the grooves, how the whole
assembly moves in a horizontal level a few times, before stabilising in the groove. If
you have a test record observe how the damping decreases movement of the assembly
when resonance occurs.
For a lot of cartridge combinations the best sound will be without the use of damping.
But cartridges with higher compliance might benefit.
11. Zero Switching kit( optional)
Zero switching kit: To eliminate switching noise problem there is a kit available from
us called Zero switching kit consisting of switching box, which can be fitted in the
compressor by qualified electrician.
