Giving the setup a listen after final calibratio
Nice 'table, anniversary edition LP12
F-dot-cross tonearm by the Funk Firm headshell assembly is slotted to give the proper angle on the cartridge mount.
'table came together nicely. Here we fitted it with a Funk Firm 5mm Achromat replacement mat. Looks pretty sharp.Also something that I started doing many years ago is to flip the power switch by 180˚ allowing the light to be seen from across the room. Nothing like walking into your room to the platter spinning from over night.

I really like these cartridges. Have been carrying the Transfiguration cartridges for over 5 years now.

Hey, gotta work in the right environment. I'm doing this out in the patio and streaming music to the outdoor speakers. Yup, that's AudioEvoite recording artist Halie Loren's "After Dark" album playing through the music system

No room for vanity in the trenches... sure sucks getting older though but these do work wonders when setting up a cartridge. :)
