Hey Vinyl Gurus,
I need some help from you folks.
I set up the Scoutmaster with the help of my dealer (over the phone) yesterday. Being my first TT, I feel like I have a long way to go before I have this TT working at tiptop shape.
My first problem is the image..... I feel like it is definitely skewed to the R. When I switch back to my digital front end (same song), the image is dead center. Now, when I switch back to the TT, the image is skewed to the R.
I noticed that although I correctly balanced the tonearm and cart at 2g via a Shure gauge, I found that the counterweight on the JMW9 arm is a bit off kilter. It seems to make the arm "roll" a little towards one side.
Is this what they refer to as "azimuth"? Does this affect the image? I don't know how to adjust the azimuth properly...
I crudely tried to center the counterweight a bit more on the JMW9 and I got to get the image a bit more center... but it's not good enough yet.
At the moment, I lack a bit more of the vocal weight down center but everything including dynamics and bass is improved.
Any tips to improve would be helpful.
Thanks!
Joey
