Can anyone let me know the correct tone arm height setting with the Technics 1210M5G using the AT 440MLA cartridge? Thank you in advance!

Hi Dave, I've found the best results at setting 0 (zero on the scale) with my 440MLa on a 1210 using a Technics headshell. Wayner's the AT440MLa pimp around here, he may chime in too.

0 for me also.

Distance Stylus to -----> top Cartrige .. pratically the height of the cartridge from the stylus point

17mm. (millimeters) -----> 0 position

18mm. ----> 1 position

19mm. ---> 2

20mm. ---> 3

21mm. ---> 4

I'm using an AT440MLa on my SL 1210, and I had to dial in by ear.


Being unfamiliar with the arm, and wanting to experiment with the on-the-fly VTA, this was the easiest method.


the 440MLa has lost a lot of the high freq issues (my issues) when mounted on the 1210 - its got balls now.


no clue where the marker is now, but the 'arm looks fairly perpendicular.

I don't know the AT440 but if you give me the cartridge height I 'll tell you where to work for the best VTA result
