Has the 'TD160' got the original 'TP-16' Arm?

Come and see me in the Lockington big system room, I will be bringing my Avid protractor and other setup tools so happy to spend some time checking your setup and possibly tweaking as required.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony
I would have thought it'd simply be a case of trying a cartridge, and if you like the sound, great. And if you don't, try something else. But what do I know, I'm hoping someone with better ears than me at Kegworth will be able to tell me whether my 2M black could be set up better

....The performance of this cart is very set up dependant, as in it needs to be spot on. Also, likes a slightly negative rake, (tail down) in my experience.Wasn't trying to find out what they sound like, I was just wondering what the effect would be if such a mismatch was tried out.
