I have had my turntables years...and years, and I don't think I have ever really set the tone arm, tracking, anti-skate etc properly! So thank you for a very informative set of videos, my stylus' are no longer dragging along the record!!

This is underrated content, I have never seen a more intuitive tutorial in my life. You should become a teacher, 10/10

[EsotericArctos]

Great series. Loving the simplicity of your explanations and how easy you make it look.
Some turntables don't have a VTA (tone arm height) adjustment so you may be stuck with what you have. If it is way off, you can shim your cartridge, but this is quite a fiddly process compared to an adjustment as shown in this video.

Hi Jarret. Would this not be a lot easier If You do this part, With the First part of the Video Chain. IE: Floating the arm across the Platter (With a Record on the Turntable). Once You have the Tonearm set Level. All You do Is adjust the Height Ring by turning It Down until the Stylus rests on the Record. Then do the Tracking Force and all the other stuff. This Is the way I set My SL-1210's.

hey Jarett, need to know what do u do with a turntable tone does not have a hieght adjustment like the project turntables

[dignitas]

Do you need to change the height when you listen to 180g records? Because they're thicker than normal 120-140g's

[billykettle]

I run this turntable with a marshall stanmore speaker that has bass and treble adjustments, imo its a cheap way to listen the right way if strapped for space and cash when it comes to buying speakers and amps, u can just use the pre built turntable amp and connect to the marshall for easy tuning through their app

[williamhabes]

wait. but since you already adjusted the counterweight and made it level with the platter, wouldn't adjusting the height mess with the tracking force since you are changing how far down the tonearm has to reach before it hits the record?

[Primevals]

My Audio Technica AT-LP120XUSB height adjust ring does not turn? It seems to have grooves but is a solid piece? Is that normal???

[TimmyRayField]

i have a technics SL-b3 player from the 80's i believe. it doesnt have the height adjustment, but my tone arm isnt straight like you said it should be while playing. what should i do??

[AussieDave]

I just bought this turntable. Can i ask you when you adjusted the height it was in the lock position? Should you adjust it when its unlocked ? Why can you still turn the dial if its locked?

Looking forward to your reply
Cheers
Dave

Hi Jarret! Bought last month the same TT. I was very thrilled at the beginning but seems it had some flaws. Pls help me rectify same. Starting with what has relation to this video. I saw that 1:40 you begin rotating the height adjustment dial and the lever is switched on the opposite of the label "LOCK", then at 1:47 you say that: one can lock by switching the same lever at the same position you just moved the dial at... In my case, wherever the switch is pointing at, the dial is rotating ... seems my LOCK is not working ?

[hopolo]

you should've mentioned this feature when you used the digital scale to measure the tracking force since the scale's height would not match that of a record on the platter. otherwise, your method will consistently produce a tracking force that is too weak.

Hey, allo from Montreal. Very good videos. My question is: I’m using the ´Realistic LAB-420 direct drive automatic turntable, and I don’t have the wheel to adjust the arm, is that an issue ?

[WhiskeySharpShooter]

Need your advice again Jarrett. I have the AT LP120 and find that even on the VTA set to 0 I still have a somewhat downward angle on the tone arm when playing LP's, even 180 gram LP's. I'm still using the stock felt mat (upgrading to the deer hide soon) and using the ortofon 2M red. Do you find the same issue with your turntable?

[wallabyhonda]

i got a JVC L-A11 from the 70's and i cant adjust the height on it??

[benglady]

I have a really nice turntable but it has no height adjustment? :(

[bga]

What are you listening to in the background?

[thairraidsirn]

I have a sharp sg-400e and I don’t think it has a height adjust that I can find. The angle is only off by a little bit, a few degrees at most. Will this damage my records over time?

[TheMetalrap]

i wanna buy pro-ject debut carbon, but it doesn't has hight adjustment. give me a doubt about buying that.
you guys have some advice?
