I have measured it multiple times (from the headshell end to the back) with different methods and it appears to be spot on. I have already adjusted the VTA as I purchased a new platter mat, I had to increase it a little as the new mat was a little thicker but have since readjusted it again in case it wasn't dead on as the sound was so bad. I have checked the weight on the stylus multiple times with the supplied weight scales gauge and tried a little more weight and a little less with no difference in sound. I want a cartridge or phono pre amp with bass I can actually hear with a smooth treble.Ĭlick to expand.There was an alignment tool in the box with the turntable but trying to line the OM body up straight seems an impossible task due to the shape of the cartridge. The Nagaoka mp110 is unavailable at the moment so was thinking instead of the Grado Green or Audio Technica AT540ml but that's another £220 and I don't know if it will work properly in the low mass Pro-Ject arm, I've read that the cheaper AT95e ml will not be suitable due to low compliance.
I was thinking maybe the cartridge is the issue or my phono stage in the amp but not sure what to do first. The only thing I've done o far is put a rubber/cork mat on it which has helped a little but not significantly. Listening to my Node 3 with lossless streams or my CD player completely wipes the floor with the Turntable so much so I stopped using it after only 3 or 4 days, (purchased it 2 weeks ago) it's now just sitting on the rack gathering dust, all the reviews of this turntable/cartridge say it's a belter and the sound is robust and very dynamic with solid bass. I'd describe the sound as mostly distorted, thin bright and pretty crap tbo. On listening to my albums the sound is very thin and sibilant, not getting any of the warmth a TT is supposed to give.
Really not happy with the sound I'm getting at mo, turntable is fitted with a Pick-it Pro cartridge which I believe is based on the Ortofon 2M series.
