The wand doesnt come off because of the wiring so i cant just line it up using the bearing jewel. I think the design and materials are now finalised. Normal protractors arent a problem though, but the results after fighting with the feickert are better. Once the overhang setup is done it doesnt matter, but getting the overhang setup right is the key bit of using the bloody thing. Problem is that because the bearing is just over an inch below the top of the housing centrepoint, that the azimuth has to be set first and as well set up as possible.Īny lean on the bearing housing means that the centrepoint that the feickert pin is sitting in at the top of the housing is not above the pivot, which cocks up the placement of the overhang point. The setup has been a pain in the arse as the feickert relies on its pin being sat directly on the pivot axis to line up the overhang point. The 760 is running into the 47k input and as the at33 is on the end of nicks ha1 head amp, which probably doesnt really care what impedance it runs into, is on the 33k input. So its doing what its told and behaving as expectedĪt the moment im running it with the 760 in it, and the jbe/air arm/at33 combo into the cole. I.E nose down (92 ish degrees), nose up, different bias settings, and come to the conclusion that setup snaps in where you would expect it to with each cart, and that changes are audible.

Ive gone through 4 of the 5 carts i have on hand a few times and can easily tell the differences between them, and tried different setups. Well after a week of faffing about with it i think im happy enough with it.
