[QUOTE="marantz123, post: 843803, member: 16849"] Make sure that you are happy with all the pivot points first, that they have a smooth and easy flowing action without any questionable play, and at the same time with acceptable clearances such that nothing feels like its being hindered or is binding, also that they are clean and lightly oiled where needed. Then its ready for a setup...which needs to be done in a specific order of steps. Thereafter, look into anything thats not sounding its best...be it vocals, violin etc. The vocals issue you mentioned could well be an azimuth issue due to the loose headshell and if you watch carefully you may see shavings of your vinyl being carved by the stylus tip (shudder : ). Bad antiskate setting will make this even worse, and together with an arm that is just not fluid enough in its movement will cause more damage. Add to this incorrect tracking force and vinyl lives in fear. Everything works together in a good setup...not even one aspect can be overlooked and the correct order of setup must be followed. There is no single tweak (except adding a great cart n stylus) that will bring the greatest improvements. Every little 'correct' tweak adds up to bring the greater success in achieving a most or a more pleasurable vinyl experience. [/QUOTE]
