applied
by
playing
a
record.
For
this
reason,
when
using
one
of
these
cartridges
a
value
of
roughly
one
half
that
of
the
tracking
force
is
the
ideal
value
.
In
other
words
,
the
Blue
Point
Special
EVO
Ill
has
an
ideal
tracking
force
of
2.0
grams
.
Therefore,
the
anti-skate
value
on
your
tonearm
should
be
set
to
1.0-
1.
5.
Vertical
Tracking
Angle/Stylus
Rake
Angle:
The
dimensions
of
the
cutting
stylus
used
in
mastering
each
vinyl
record
create
a
rake
(forward-backward
tilt)
of
the
record
groove.
The
rake
angle
may
change
for
different
records
depending
on
the
method
of
mastering
used.
The
corresponding
rake
of
the
playback
stylus
will
be
one
of
the
determining
factors
in
the
delivered
performance
of
your
Oyster™
cartridge
;
however,
all
Oyster™
cartridges
are
designed
to
give excellent
performance
over
a
very
wide
window
of
rake
angles.
If
your
tonearm
does
not
have
rake
or
adjustable
height
adjustment
,
you
may
rest
assured
that
your
cartridge
will
deliver
a
very
high
degree
of
performance
.
The
following
is
intended
for
those
who
own
a
tonearm
that
allows
for
the
adjustment
of
rake
or
arm
pillar
height.
To
optimize,
start
with
the
tonearm
oriented
with
the
back
of
the
arm
lower
than
the
front
by~
1/2
inch
.
