Cartridge Too Close To Record at Janis Mcgrath blog

Cartridge Too Close To Record. My guess is between 1/2 a mm and 3/4 of a mm. It's hard to realize according to pic, but the tonearm should be generally parallel with the record surface (or maybe slight forward). I was just rechecking my turntable setup, and i noticed the cartridge (the actual cartridge body, not the stylus) is really close to. If a cartridge's tracking weight is too high, not only can it cause the sound to be thick and slow, but it can also damage the record over time by putting too much pressure on its grooves. Next up, vertical tracking alignment, or vta. For some reason, the cart is very close to the vinyl surface. Working from there you would adjust until the tonearm suspends perfectly level without the headshell touching the record at all. When the azimuth is set correctly, your cartridge is 100% level over the record grooves. In other words, the cartridge isn’t tilted left or right and hovers evenly over the record surface. I have a rega p1 with the standard cartridge and i've noticed that with the proper vertical tracking force, the cartridge body almost. If it is too low, the sound will be thin and insubstantial and can even cause the stylus to jump and damage your records.
