I love this cart to bits. The only thing I would say though is that I’ve always found it very sensitive to accurate set up. If this isn’t right it’s fairly obvious - when it is set up well it is an absolute joy of a cart. I always dread having to set it up again for whatever reason as it is very hard work trying to hit that spot again which becomes quite tiresome. My arm is a Micro Seiki MA 202 Specifications Type: static balance universal type Effective length: 237mm Overhang: 15mm Offset angle: 21 degrees Height range: 42-88mm Cartridge range: 4-16g VTF range: 0-3g
I use the Rega Baerwald Arc Protractor (for 222mm mounting distance. I set arm to parallel, Tracking force to recommended 1.5g, anti skate close to tracking force figure, set azimuth . Then, I dial in vta via on the fly where I’ve always managed to eventually find / hit the sweet- spot. Takes a heck of a lot of trying and patience but when it happens I can hear it. As I say it takes an age so my question is does anyone have any tips around this that might make it less painful or even a bit easier? Sometimes it feels as if I’m never ever going to find that spot. I’d never want to give up on this cart which I love when on song. Thanks.

Never heared it , but it does have a good reputation . My one issue with it , it that the stylus costs 90% of the price of the thing and therefore I do not understand why they do make it a fixed cantilever.

It doesn't look replaceable, DQ. Is that a swap scheme?

The 2M Black has a replaceable stylus. I think Dennis was trying to say that as the cost of a new stylus is 90% of the cost of a new cartridge, why don't they just make it a fixed cantilever.

Ah, I see. Most replaceable stylii and replacement cartridge schemes are barely worth the trouble, this one is no different.
