The major cause of problems in sound and skipping on the vinyl is the lack of proper set
up of the needle and turntable adjustments. The needle is designed to operate at a
specific angle to the vinyl. The T.62 has two adjustments to correctly position the
needle to the vinyl.
1. The first adjustment is the installation of the cartridge-head-shell assembly into the
tone arm tube lock. The T.62 includes a Stanton 500 V3 cartridge pre-mounted to
the headshell. Holding the tone arm tube in one hand, insert the cartridge-headshell into
the tube lock with the other hand. Turn the lock ring clockwise (when viewed from the
rear) until the headshell is locked tightly into the tone arm. Remove the needle protector
from the cartridge and place the needle on record. View the needle from the front and
insure that the needle is perpendicular to the record surface. If some adjustment is
needed, simply loosen the lock ring and rotate the cartridge headshell until the needle is
perpendicular to the record surface. Then re-tighten the lock ring.
2. The second adjustment is the needle (or stylus) pressure. Start with the cartridge-
headshell assembly mounted into the tone arm. Remove any needle protectors provided.
With tone arm free, adjust the tone arm counterweight by rotating the rear section until
the tone arm floats in a balanced condition above the record or mat. Do not allow the
needle to drop onto the mat or the turntable platter during this adjustment. You might
damage the needle tip. Now, carefully hold the tone arm in one hand while rotating the
numbered ring on the front of the counter-weight with the other hand to the “0” setting.
Next, without touching the numbered ring, Rotate the rear counterweight until the desired
needle pressure reading is next to the line on top of the tone arm tube. The recom-
mended stylus pressure for the Stanton 500 V3 cartridge is between two and five grams.
