Owner's Manual

of
acoustical
music,
recorded
in
real
space,
to
determine
the
tonal
balance
and
soundstage
presentation.
Adjust
the
tonearm
pivot
height
upwards
~
1/16
inch
at
a
time
and
listen
to
the
changes.
When
the
correct
orientation
has
been
achieved,
the
soundstage
will
be
better
defined
and
the
music
will
have
a
richer
harmonic
structure.
Additionally,
surface
noise
will
be
reduced
dramatically.
If
the
soundstage
comes
into
focus
and
becomes
very
lifelike,
but
the
sound
has
a
slight
hardness
to
the
upper
frequencies,
the
azimuth
is
probably
misaligned
(see
azimuth
section
for
adjustment
details).
Azimuth:
For
optimum
tracking
of
the
record
grooves,
the
stylus
must
be
in
correct
azimuth
(side-to-side
tilt)
alignment.
Gross
side-to-side
tilt
will
result
in
an
actual
channel
imbalance,
but
this
is
not
a
likely
scenario.
More
likely,
any
sort
of
an
azimuth
error
that
you
will
experience
will
result
in
tonal
aberrations
in
the
upper
frequencies
and
not
a
channel
imbalance.
