Allen key screws are the cat's whiskers.
I swapped out cartridges yesterday and have these kind of screws. Made the task much, much simpler. Blade screwdrivers always slip out of slotted screws, not the case with Allen wrenches. The last thing you want with cartridge installation is unintended movements....
BTW Wayner, I really like your tool for VTA adjustment. Is it possible to calculate stylus rake angle with this? i.e. - count over "X" number of squares for a "Y" squares rise is equivalent of 1 degree stylus rake? This of course assumes the stylus is at 90 degrees with a level tonearm.
I bought your cartridge alignment tool several years ago and it is a great tool. Not using it now as I currently have a Well Tempered Amadeus TT and the manufacturer's philosophy is to disallow conventional cartridge set up. One set of mounting holes, not slots, no overhang adjustment possible. A bit of a leap of faith, but I know what I hear and I like it. Still, i plan to keep your cartridge alignment tool set should I move on to other turntables down the line. I'd like to have your VTA tool as well, particularly if one can use it to fairly accurately estimate stylus rake. Would you sell this separately?
