Visit to find out more information. This video contains tools made by Acoustical Systems, and it is not party of the AnalogMagik Calibration Software & Test LP Package. Cartridge alignment involves fine tuning multiple setup parameters which are all interdependent on each other. Every step we take has single goal in mind, and that is to retrieve what was recorded on the grooves as accurately as possible. These video tutorials are provided to you for free. We hope to assist you in achieving the most accurate cartridge setup. The Video are simplified versions of detailed instructions, we strongly advise you to read over the contents under the AnalogMagik homepage. We will guide you every step of the way, from the initial mounting of the cartridge, to aligning the cartridge at the proper angle, to fine tuning every setup parameters using the AnalogMagik software. Our goal is to help you achieve a more accurate cartridge setup using scientifically repeatable methods. Through our FREE Basic Cartridge Setup Tutorial, we will show you how to do: 1) Cartridge mounting 2) Cartridge cantilever alignment using the Acoustical System Professional Alignment Set (or other protractor of your choice) 3) Optimizing torque on the Cartridge mounting screws Then comes the part where AnalogMagik comes in, we will go into further details of every setup parameters to help you improve the accuracy of your setup with AnalogMagik's 10 test functions:. 1) Achieving proper turntable speed 2) Setting up Azimuth (Horizontal balance) 3) Vertical tracking angle (or Stylus Raking Angle) 4) Anti-skating 5) Optimizing Vertical Tracking Force 6) Optimizing Gain on your phono stage 7) Optimizing Loading on your phono stage for MC cartridges 8) How to determine resonant frequencies on your tonearm 9) How to measure vibrations 10) Wow & Flutter analysis We have 10 FREE VIDEO TUTORIALS on of each of the above cartridge alignment parameters. Setup parameters are highly interdependent on each other, no parameter can be optimized in isolation. For example, if your Anti-skating is set incorrectly, your Azimuth measurements may be rendered meaningless. Meaningful results of a specific measurement is highly dependent upon equipment quality as well as all other setup parameters. It is normal that you will have to go back and forth between parameters to achieve an optimal setup. AnalogMagik does not guarantee that meaningful measurements can always be derived from every setup parameter, but taken as a whole, if you can achieve good measurements with as many of these parameters as possible, we believe it will result it a much higher level of accuracy and a better sounding system. In the internet age, nobody reads instruction manuals the size of a phone book. We have designed AnalogMagik to have onscreen instructions which will guide you. Our single sheet on screen help file will also tell you what test results to look for. Note: Our setup videos are provided FOR FREE and are presumably for your benefit. The contents of the video reflects our opinions and we make no guarantees on the video's accuracy and methodology, and they are for educational purposes only. Free free to contact us if you have any questions, but we make no guarantees whatsoever on your satisfaction, nor will we be responsible if you damage your own equipment after watching the videos. Should you wish to employ a different setup method after watching our videos, we encourage you to do so and have no interest in heated debates other than friendly constructive discussions with mutual respect.
