Any instant tips or hints about this cartridge in the next 12 hours? I have just set it up on my Systemdek / Mission 774 which I am selling tomorrow via this very site. Nice square body to align - fattest cartridge pins I've ever encountered. Great relief to eventually get all 4 tags on unbroken.
I have it tracking at 2.5g with 2 antiskate weights at about 70% and it sits nicely in the middle of my laserdisc like that. Sounds pretty good for a £20 cartridge, through Nad 3020 and Mission 70s or 770s or 700s - little bookshelf jobbies. However at pretty modest nearfield levels Cagey, if you are listening, the nad was round to the 20w light and I swear I saw 35w flash - so "soft clipping"
2.5g about right?
I have it dead level VTA - again, about right?
Bloody job setting it up - nobody tell Arthur, but I had forgotten just what an advance the PT was compared to "normal" suspendeds, and the mission arm vta adjuster is a bloody tight fit on that deck. But now its up and running, pretty good. Nice low surface noise, and no obvious faults, if perhaps not quite as open and transparent as the PT/FXR/Dynavector ESL 63 setup. No bloody hum mercifully.
Let's hope he likes it
