Now I know you put cart in headshell (where, front, middle or back?) and then place needle on a record and get arm parallel with record. But what I'm unsure about is the placement of the tonearm once in its collect (holder), how do I know exactly when to tighten the grub screw to fix the tonearm in place? Or is it just guess work? That is the tonearm should obviously run square alongside the TT edge, but as its an S shaped arm this is not so easy. Hope I'm making myself clear, may'be not, please help! I normally get Audio T to do this, but I've already bought a few carts from them recently and don't need another! Gonna fit my well used - but still some life in it - Denon dl110 to it.
Check the travel of the tone arm from the centre of the record to the outside of the record and make sure there is nothing impeding it's movement, when you are happy with its position tighten the grub screw. I don't see it needing to be exact.
