19. Stylus Headshell -  

 

 

 

The included headshell is used to connect your stylus 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with the tone arm.

20. Headshell Locking Nut -  

 

 

After attaching the headshell to the tonearm, this

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

locking nut will securely hold the headshell to the

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

tonearm. 

The tonearm is the mechanism that holds the head-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

shell and stylus allowing it to glide across a record. 

 
22. Tonearm Lift Adjust Screw -  

This screw is used to adjust the clearance between  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the stylus and a record. The stylus clearance is set  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

at the factory to be between 8~13mm. Adjustments to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the tonearm clearance should only be made if   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

necessary.

23. Tonearm Assembly Height Control -  

This adjustment is used to control the overall height  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of the tonearm assembly. The tonearm should always 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be perfectly parallel to the platter.

Use this rest to safely hold the tonearm in position  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

during non use and transportation.

25. Tonearm Lever -  

 

 

 

This lever is used to safely elevates the tone arm

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

above a record surface without endangering a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

records surface.

The anti-skate applies inward force to the tonearm to  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

prevent outward skipping across the record due to the 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

centrifugal force cause by platter rotation. The anti- 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

skate value should be equally to that of the stylus  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

counterweight pressure (see counterweight 27).

27. Counterweight -  

 

 

 

The counterweight adjustment applies the proper  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

downward pressure on the stylus.
