MICHAEL FREMER'S TURNTABLE SET-UP GUIDE (DVD)

Please note: A turntable with a Linear tonearm, P-mount T4P, and tonearm with integrated cartridge may need few or no set-up adjustments. Breaking the plastic seal constitutes final sale and the item becomes non-returnable. These disclosures are provided for your consideration before making a purchase decision.

A car, from the humble Hyundai to the Formula One racer, needs to be properly tuned to deliver optimal performance. So does a turntable. A turntable must be properly set-up in order to deliver its best sound quality. There is no way around it. And since the turntable system is the initial source of the audio signal, its performance will be amplified all along the audio chain. This DVD is therefore essential for all turntable owners — music listeners, audiophiles, DJs, and those converting LPs to Digital who desire the highest fidelity and the original signal from the record grooves.

Michael Fremer is a senior contributing editor at Stereophile Magazine and publishes the online Music Angle. He is the No. 1 vinyl authority in the audio world and had been asked by readers for many years to develop a video guide for setting up a quality turntable and tonearm. The guide, with a running time of 3 hours 9:39 minutes, is both exhaustive and succinct.

With this DVD, you will learn simple and effective steps on how to:
- Set-up a cartridge
- Balance a tonearm and apply the correct stylus force just by using the counterweight of your tonearm
- Set the correct overhang
- Set the correct zenith angle
- Set the correct vertical tracking angle
- Set the correct azimuth

“Before I watched your DVD I have to admit I was hopeless at setting up my turntable, needing to call my dealer to the rescue when something went amiss. After watching you explain and demonstrate the possible adjustments I was somewhat at a loss, but after getting out my toolkit and following the process step by step it seemed as if I was a seasoned professional. I breezed through it and thoroughly enjoyed the process. I feel I can finally and confidently say that I’ve begun to master the setup of my favorite source and I’m sure I’ll get better at it too. Your DVD has been a godsend, thanks for making it !!!”

"Your intro to the DVD (that's as far as I've gotten) was so f...king funny....the US vs Brit vs German approach to LP liners had my WIFE laughing and making me pause the disc so she wouldn't miss anything when she was getting ready for bed."
- Joe Harley, record producer, VP product development, AudioQuest

Better than I thought

This JICO nude elliptical stylus is super good. I replaced the stylus on my Shure M44-7 which is more of a DJ cartridge and I didn't care much for a conical/spherical one that was on it. Everyone I talked to about a change recommended the N55 for it. It was a little pricey, and usually I'll buy a new cartridge instead of chance something I'm not familiar with, but I bit the bullet and ordered the N55 from the recommendations. To my surprise, it's one of the better sounding carts I have and that's saying a lot as I use Grado and Ortofon both in MM, and a Denon MC cart. Even not broken in, I was really impressed with it. So much so, I may resurrect my on M99E that's on one of my Dual's with a Jico nude stylus. This JICO stylus I bought is on my vintage Pioneer PL 518.

Excellent belt fast shipping

LP Tunes N91VL upgrade for Shure N91ED N91E N93E 2225 stylus

2204 Wurlitzer turntable belt

Belt fits perfect

ViVid Line replacement for Shure m97xe cartridge

The stylus is amazing. The original stylus needed some adjustments. It was a bit harsh in the mid to higher. The new ViVid Line is awesome. No need to EQ needed. Everything pops out and doesn't cause fatigue. Nice lows, mids, and highs. If you what to replace/ update you Shure m97xe, this is it. Maybe a bit pricey but well worth it.

Perfect replacement

This replacement stylus has the same dimensions as the original, and fit perfectly. My vinyl records sounds wonderful now.

It's The Correct Belt.

Not much to say. The Previous belt became brittle and snapped, and I'm sure this one will too, one day. But for now, It's exactly what my record player needed.
