Very well spent my day
did some basic cleaning
the platter is not as heavy as Thorens' but it is sitting on a very heavy duty spindle
think almost a year liao i didnt mount a cartridge. a bit kalang-kabuk nia
decided to use a new cartridge so must match with a set of lead wires
here is the AT440MLB (MM), the eldest brother of AT120E
unlike the AT120E, this comes with a brush, non-magnetic screwdriver and lead wires
here is the Audio Technica AT1010 arm
just downloaded the spec from vinylengine.com, need to digest it and understand what the "Dynamic Tracing System/DTS" is about
spent about 1.5 hr in total to mount and alignment the cartridge
all set liao
test playing "coming around again" by Carly Simon
shiok, both speeds damn accurate
turn the knob to 45rpm and within 2-3 seconds, spot on
one last thing, the footers are rotatable to adjust the height, super right?
this eliminates the need to go thru the le-che-ness to stuff paper to balance the deck (actually i quite hate this process to ensure the arm is at the right water level along the pivot curve)
happy man now with a new deck to spin
oh, so the Linn LP12 is on hibernate mode for at least 2-3months of resting time
