Weird thing was after running in for 4 weeks the overhang stylus position had shifted. I have a very accurate metal cartridge protractor that comes with the VPI Turntable and the stylus tip had moved even though I had not adjusted VTA or weight since setting up.
Is this due to change in cartridge suspension ?

Ortofon Cadenza Black MC
A potential no brainer bargain here for someone and a chance to taste a top notch Black at potentially daft money - £1850 new.
Could go another 1000 hrs plus if he's looked after it which I suspect he has http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ortofon-Ca...kAAOSwjvJZQZHW

Do you know Jamie, I have not even heard my Cadenza B yet.
My system has been down for the past year and it has hurt badly
The good new is it's been due to upgrades as in re-cap of my completely rebuilt Sansui AU 919 integrated amp, and paying down on a Paul Hynes SR7 psu plus his triple stage regs which is all done now.
I drive up to Norfolk on Friday for install of the regs and to collect the power supply
On top of that my tonearm has been re-wired and has new hybrid ceramic bearings fitted.
I havnt heard my system with the Cadenza B, recapped amp, tonearm re-wire, regs, psu etc so I'm in for a bit of a shock when I fire her up soon, not to mention some serious evaluation / critical listening.
Forgive me for the diversion and back to your question
Having had both the other two Shibata clad Ortofons, I'm can only expect that the Cadenza Black will be a class act of the highest order.
I've read detailed, dynamic, refined, airy, as expected but even more insight into the individual parts ie: finger plucks, differentiation of instruments, tone, texture etc.
I can not wait to get mine going.
It's a high end cart - one editor review here probably sums it up https://www.henleydesigns.co.uk/ui/p...?ProductID=641

Understatement of the year Jamie with respect. The journey has been long as I am certainly not flush so I've been building to where I want to get to for many years,
BUT gosh! the last year has been agony - such a long down time but it's literally the last hurdle - mission accomplished, destination arrival
I have next Thursday and Friday off too to really get some time with her, set up, music everything I can to nail that sweet-spot and get her optimum - Did I say I cant waitI've earned this moment and will feedback in due course

Be prepared for some frustration on setting the cart up. Once it's done just leave alone and play!Understatement of the year Jamie with respect. The journey has been long as I am certainly not flush so I've been building to where I want to get to for many years,
