Hello all
I have a question regarding the cartridge alignment. I am using an Ortofon 2M red cartridge. Originally I was using it on a Project Genie TT, but I have now switched to a Cosmic Cogram TT. The cart was initially set up by the dealer, so it was aligned to the Genie. Later on I switched to a Technics SL D2, and my dealer realigned the cart for the Technics
My question is, if I use it on a diff TT, will it need to be realigned? I don't have any issues with sound, but it usually feels a bit distorted when it is playing the last 2 tracks of a record side. Basically I have unscrewed the headshell from the Technics, and put it on the Cosmic, and rebalanced the tonearm and set the weight. I have not done any adjustment to the alignment.
If I want to realign it, what tools would I need to do that? I have a plastic alignment tool that came with my Genie. Can I use that for my Cosmic TT, or do I need a special alignment tool for that particular TT? I also have a Technics SL D2. Can I use the alignment tool with that?
I am a complete newbie when it comes to alignment, and I have never done it before, so any help or advice would be great!
Cheers
Tek
