As posted by a previous reviewer, I found that the headshell is angled a bit uphill, so I had to compensate by raising the tail of my SME tonearm a bit. With just a touch of twist of the cartridge, it lined right up on the protractor and cartridge tracking is excellent. Sonics of the MP-500 thus far are excellent.
I just received the stylus . It is mounted on a 30 cartridge and sounds great. I am just getting back into records after many years of CDs. It's is exactly what I hoped.
