In Reply to: Use the overhang gauge. That's why Pioneer put it there! posted by Howard K on May 16, 2007 at 21:35:18:
Is there any harm in using the Baerwald protractor? I find the Pioneer overhang system to be inadequate. First of all, the plastic piece has play in it...at least 1mm. Therefore, even if I was using their spec...what is to say that I am right on the money? Secondly, there is no cross grid to check the cantilever. I've found that with most cartridges, the body is not an accurate representation of perfect alignment. So based on the Pioneer overhang, I suppose I could just get it close and then align the cartridge by ear....but in that case, why bother using a protractor or overhang tool at all? The Pioneer system is nothing remotely resembling precise setup.
