Gday all,
I just received a Technics epc 205c mkiii. This is a well regarded vintage cart that comes with integrated headshell. The headshell is azimuth and overhang adjustable.
The overhang in the manual is recommended as being correct at 52mm on the integrated headshell gauge markings. However if I leave it as this the cartridge is a fair way off aligning on the Stevenson protractor (what I typically use on my Marantz s-arm). It is also off the recommended effective length crosshair that comes with my Marantz TT 6350.
My question is, which one should I use? I’m used to being able to manipulate both the effective length and the cartridge angle in the headshell to suit Stevenson to good effect but am a little confused with the integrated hs setup of this line of Technics!?
