dr feickert adjust+ software.

has anyone else used this to set up azimuth? a kind sole over on pfm loaned me the software to use.
i am truely shocked at the sonic results since using it to set my cartridge up,my ortofon kb was out by 1 degree when the headshell was level which i roughly new by eyeing up though a jewlers loupe but i could never get it right by ear.

i though it didnt matter too much but the graph tells a different story.

cheers,ive played with the vta a bit but the crosstalk always stays around the same figures,the trouble is it pains me to move it as its sounding so much better than before,vta is set pretty much bang on imo as it is.
chris at dr feickert has suggested that i should aim to get the phase angles intersecting at 90 degrees but id have to drop the arm so much i think the sonics would suffer.
this is all new to me so feel free to add more advice please.

I've got the Adjust+ system but never really messed around with it! I suppose I should dig it out of the loft.

or sell it to me lol
seriously though you should,its a powerful bit of kit.

Jamie your crosstalk level is quite low @20dB , try to play with VTA till you get at least 25dB .

i think thats just the nature of the cartridge,ive just dropped and raised it 4mm and nothing dramatic happens to the cross talk levels.

ah ive just recognised who you are!
tracking force is set to 2.7g.
do you think its worth going over it again? ive done it a few times so far and it gets easier the more times you do it (as you probably know)
i cant see it suddenly jumping up in the cross talk figures though ,the best i got was 22.5 and 20.5,never got anywhere near 23

Sorry I got that wrong, it’s 2.57,Ortofon recomend 2.5.
I’ll give that a try and see what figures I get.

The adjust plus is very good, especially with SME V's as the only way to adjust the azimuth is fabricate shims and place them under the cart opposite the side that needs adjusting. Been using ours for over 6 years great tool for aiding TT set ups.

Takes a while to fully get to grips with it, but for a serious vinyl head a must purchase imho

MAC72 can you empty your PM box :)

its a very good set up tool as far as im concerned,because of using it i can now dial in azimuth by ear,maybe not as acurate as the software but i because of it i now know what to listen for.
thanks again slav.:cool:
