ALL carts should be set up with time and care....
This one due to it's Shibata stylus profile requires even more care, time, patience and attention.
Easy vta adjust is important with these in my experience as it takes very careful dial in.
Worth the hassle though as once you've nailed it you'll be rewarded big time ! A classy cart.

Dialing in the fine adjustment for the VTA is not possible on my turntable, it has two allen screws, undo both and the arm piller
can be physicaly moved up and down, no dial in fine adjustment as some arms have, so the wrong cartridge for my turntable.

Adjustment on my arm is exactly the same , what I'd done is marked line on the pillar when top of the cartridge is parallel to the record surface , then few lines above and below that mark spaced 1mm apart (1mm changes SRA by approx. 1/4 of degree) then fine tuning is quite easy . I also use digital microscope to confirm where stylus is in relation to the record when I start , some styli could be way out as my Clearaudio Concept for example.

This thread is to sell the thing, I want rid of it, thanks for trying to assist though.
