The adjust+ software is superb, we have been using it for a few years now.

You have a whole suite of measurements to select from, you can even life the cartridge by performing a full frequency sweep, adjust the speed of more importantly set the cartridge up correctly, and obtaining a channel separation of 0.5dB or better is more than possible.

Great aid in which to truly set up a deck correctly, even seasoned pro's who have been setting up decks for years have expressed serious surprise at this program.

Any serious vinyl lovers out there, then I would suggest this is an essential purchase, you will not believe how far off the mark you are until you use one of these.

SME V owners can even get superb results even with no head shell adjustment, we make up very small 1 thou shims that we place under each side of the cartridge screw, run the program and see how much different having a correct azimuth makes!
