Making sure your tonearm is correctly balanced is just about the easiest way to improve sound quality without breaking out the wallet. Using a turntable does require some setup knowledge, but the reward is definitely worth it. Adjust the anti-skating weight to correspond with the tracking force.it'll will usually be between 1 and 2 grams. The tracking force depends on the cartridge in use - if you are unaware of it, you can find this in your cartridge's specifications. The inward skate bias force at work is due record spinning and pulling the cartridge through the cantilever from the stylus 'rumble' transmitting the energy picked up. Turn the counterweight (and the scale) to the correct tracking force. Good news IMO Anti-skate adjusting is only verifiable in modulated groove, never on a flat mirror or any other flat, shiny and soft surface.Now turn the counterweight scale to indicate zero.Move the tonearm off its rest and adjust the counterweight so that the tonearm balances horizontally.Ensure that the anti-skating weight is removed at this point.
The first step is to put the counterweight on the end of the tonearm wand.If you've just bought a turntable and you didn't see the store staff balancing it for you, chances are you have to do it yourself! Never fear though - if it's out slightly, you will still be able to get a good performance. Balancing a tonearm correctly may seem like a challenging operation, but in reality it's relatively simple, and making sure it's done well is a surefire way to improve sound quality. Setting up your turntable for the best possible performance can sometimes be tricky.
