[QUOTE="irengineer, post: 821282, member: 1315"] Just to confirm. I have not spun a single record with this cartridge/headshell combo. The cartridge was mounted in a Grace headshell, correct for the tonearm and it works fine, apart from the odd skip. It skips on my vinyl faire copy of Dire Straits Alchemy, track one, for example. The ZYX plays 100% on that. I thought a bit of azimuth might counter the shew cantilever. With the Dynavector it is not a simple case of the headshell touching the record surface, it hangs completely lower than the cartridge, so no ways can I use this headshell without spacers for the cartridge and longer screws to hold it all together. I wanted to use this combo as a test to see if a bit of adjustment makes it track cleanly on the Dire Straits album. A mate of mine can 3D print 2,3 and 4 mm spacers to try. Have a great fastener supplier locally for brass or aluminium screws and nuts. Fdlsys, these Dynavector headshells are the ones I bought from you :BWAHAHAH: [/QUOTE]
