Turntable setup:
Ensure that the turntable is levelled horizontally. Tidy up the mains cable that runs away
from the signal wires as much as possible.
Tonearm mounting:
12 inch (305 mm) tonearms:
Follow instructions provided with the tonearm. Basic distance is 295 mm from spindle to
centre of the mounting hole. The brass pillar should be removed from the T base by
unlocking it with Allen key (3 mm) at the front end of the longer T base. Notice that the
inside hole of the brass pillar is eccentric. This hole should be turned outwards for maximum
distance of 300 mm as required for Stogi Ref 313 arm.
First put the tonearm into the brass pillar. The rotational position and height of the tonearm
has yet to be determined so fix the tonearm only gently with Allen key (3 mm). Return the
brass pillar to the T base and note position of the tonearm. Make desired changes before
fixing the tonearm firmly into the brass pillar. The VTA can be adjusted by raising or
lowering the brass pillar in the T base, after releasing the screw with Allen key (3 mm).
Other tonearms:
Remove the brass pillar and find underneath two threaded holes. Find the circular brass arm
base (optional) with appropriate cut-out. Using Allen key (3 mm) and two screws fit this onto
the pillar. Insert back into T base and, with tonearm protractor, position the brass plate
correctly by rotating the brass pillar while releasing the VTA screw with Allen key (3mm).
See fig. 7. Follow tonearm mounting instructions. It is possible that in some circumstances
the lid provided may not fit.
