Nice post.I'm a little timid about cartridge alignment. I've never done it before and not sure i can trust my eyes to do it correctly and without damaging the stylus!
If i were to go that route though, what's a good match to my turntable? I'd be willing to spend maybe $500-1K.
Aside from the included stock stylus, i have only upgraded once to the Pro S30. A big improvement over the stock Ortofon, but haven't tried other brands of cartidges for comparison.
I like my turntable, but i wish Technics had ditched the built-in phono stage and designed a better cue lever.It doesn't hold in place very long once i move the tonearm to the record.I starts to fall on its own.
I usually have to hold up the lever at the same time i move the arm over.
