Go with the first style, very easy. Yes, use a ruler or any ruled instrument you have. Are you feeling confident at all?

I use a DB systems stylus protractor. You can download (not DB) one for free from www.vinylengine.com or www.enjoythemusic.com . Both sites have several different ones. Different protractors have different null points and will give slightly different results. Vinylengine suggests different protractors for different arm table combinations. As PC said using the measurement with the headshell is easier and more accurate than the other. I prefer a good protractor. IMO you get better results with a protractor.

If you're going to use a protractor, the Stevenson protractor should be closest to Technics.

Looks great!! Give the stylus about 20 hours or more to begin to break in. There will be a sudden curve, and you will notice an improvement in bass response and high end. More importantly, there will be a more open quality to it. With the right recording you will experience proper soundstage, including depth and realistic imaging.
This is when you start to hear the magic of analog. Buckle up cuz it's a lifetime trip...
Did some celebrating of my own today. Happy Record Store Day to you too!!

Thanks. Great job on the Joe Hendeson. I also picked up Mode for Joe with Lee Morgan and Cedar Walton, as well as Max Roach - percussion, bitter, sweet.

Loudness
Hello. It's been a while since I post in the forums. I have been enjoying my 2M Red Ortofon for almost 2 years now on my Technics SL-20. I recently changed a squeaky belt on my TT but I have 3 questions:
1) After changing the belt I noticed that the 45RPM records were playing a bit slow. How do I accurately adjust the speed on my TT? I see the adjustment dials, but is there an accurate way to do this?

2) I notice that some of my records are not as loud as others; recently I have come to realize that when I am lifiting my tone arm with the lever, if I do it slowly enough: right before the stylus completely comes off the record the volume dramatically increases. Does this mean that my tone arm is coming down to heavily on my records? How should I adjust this? My counter weight is set at 1.8 and anti skating is set at 1.8 as well.

3) When I am increasing the volume on my Marantz 2230b, once i go past the mid-level, the volume incredible increases to a point where it seems too loud and a bit distorted. Any suggestions? Or is this normal?

Any member reading this local in Philadelphia? Maybe you can help me out sometime this Summer. Thanks!
