Newbie needs help w/ cartridge install

[oldskoolboarder]

I picked up a Pioneer 117D a few weeks ago. Sounds fine w/ a Stanton. Just picked up an Ortofon OM10 and not sure what the proper method is for install. I know how to make the wire connections, just not sure how to get the alignment right, or if it even matters for this low level a table.

Any pointers, links, threads are greatly appreciated.

Chances are that your tonearm is fitted with a so called "universal headshell" which simply requires precisely measuring 49 mm between the stylus point and the end of the headshell.

Cartridge Setup

Scroll down the page a bit.

I would think that correct azimuth would definitely make a difference with your turntable, especially when playing near the inner grooves.
