Vinyl Playback and Turntable Setup
Proper turntable setup is essential for accurate vinyl playback and minimal record wear. Cartridge alignment ensures the stylus traces the record groove at the correct angle, minimising tracking distortion across the entire record surface.
Different alignment geometries (Baerwald, Loefgren B, Stevenson) optimise for different listening priorities. Each places the two zero-error null points at different positions on the record to minimise distortion where it matters most for your listening preferences.
