What's a blue-tack and where would I buy one? TIA, Ves

I just bought a dynavector 17D2 cartridge. I am trying to set the tracking force for this particular cartridge. The counterweight is all the way forward which renders a tracking force of about 1.25 grams, but the cartridge requires a tracking force between 1.8-2.0 grams. Any ideas? TIA, ves

The Dynavector P75 jumper settings are defaulted for a Low MC cartridge. I have a dynavctor 20-XH cartridge, but I initially (by mistake) left the settings to the phone stage for Low MC. I then changed the stage setting for High MC, and noticed two things 1) My system kinda sounds better with...

Thanks much, fellas, for all your help. Ves

My VPI manual states in order to adjust the arm height to set the tracking force, loosen the setscrews on the base of the arm assembly and turn the adjustement wheel. Which screws are thoses? Ves

Ok, I adjusted the arm rest. Here are some pictures after the adjustment. Look good? http://mysite.verizon.net/res1qdjr/i...onearm_fix.JPG http://mysite.verizon.net/res1qdjr/i...ix_closeup.JPG Ves

Also I am using the Dynavector 20X with this tonearm

My camera is charging; I will get another pciture up shortly. The legnth of the pivot from the "base" was around 29-30 mm (millimeters). Refer to the URL below to see what I am calling the "base". Does that length seem reasonable? http://mysite.verizon.net/res1qdjr/images/highfi.jpg...

I am sure. I can see the scratches/indents within the internal cup.

I uploaded a picture of how the tonearm currently rests on the pivot at the following URL. Does it look right? http://mysite.verizon.net/res1qdjr/images/highfi.jpg TIA, Ves

I am new to turntables. Where are the turntables setup threads on this site? -VEs

Do I do that by adjusting the counterweight?

I am having trouble placing the JMW 9 tonearm on the male pivot point of my VPI Scout. It seems that the pivot is longer than what the arm will accomodate (wobbles back and forth, ~2 cm too high), and the clamp that encompasses the tonearm doesn't come close to doing it. Not sure what to try at...

What's a good phone cable to connect a VPI scout with a dynavector 20-XH cartridge and a Dynavector P-75 phone stage? Will regular RCA interconnets suffice for the connection? TIA, Ves

The cheapest price I could find for this phone stage was $595.00 (US). Anyone know where I could buy a cheaper one (used or new)? TIA, Ves
