of proper set up of the needle and turntable adjustments. The needle is designed to operate
at a specific angle to the vinyl. The T.55 U SB has several adjustments to c orrectly position
the needle to the vinyl!
1. The first adjustment is the installation of the cartridge-headshell assembly into the tone arm
tube lock. The T.55 USB includes a Stanton cartridge pre-mounted to the headshell. Holding
the tone arm tube in one hand, insert the cartridge-headshell into the tube lock with the other
hand. Turn the lock ring clockwise (when viewed from the rear) until the headshell is locked
tightly into the tone arm. R emove the needle protector from the cartridge and place the
needle on record. View the needle from the front and insure that the needle is perpendicular
to the record surface. If some adjustment is needed, simply loosen the lock ring and rotate
the cartridge headshell until the needle is perpendicular to the record surface. T hen re-tighten
the lock ring.
2. The second adjustment is the needle (or stylus) pressure. Start with the cartridge headshell
assembly mounted into the tone arm. Remove any needle protectors provided. With tone arm
free, adjust the tone arm counterweight by rotating the rear section until the tone arm floats in
a balanced condition above the record or mat. Do not allow the needle to drop onto the mat
or the turntable platter during this adjustment. You might damage the needle tip. Now,
carefully hold the tone arm in one hand while rotating the numbered ring on the front of the
counter-weight with the other hand to the “0” setting. Next, without touching the numbered
ring, Rotate the rear c ounterweight until the desired needle pressure reading is next to the
line on top of the tone arm tube. The recommended stylus pressure for the Stanton c artridge
is between two and five grams. NOTE: Counterweight may differ from the one in Figure 2.
1. Rotate the power dial clockwise to turn on the power. The speed indicator and the strobe-illuminator will light up.
2. Place a record on the slip mat, when playing a 45rpm record with a large center hole, place the 45-rpm adaptor on the center
spindle.
3. Set the rotation speed (33/45) to match the record.
4. Remove the stylus protector, release the arm clamp.
5. Press the Start/Stop button, the turntable platter will start to rotate.
6. Move the tonearm over the desired groove.
7. When play is finished, move the tonearm to the arm rest, secure the tonearm with the arm clamp.
8. Press the Start/Stop button to stop the platter rotating and rotate the power dial to turn off the power.
- For best results & proper care of your equipment use Stanton Vinyl Cleaner (VC-1) for your records and Stylus Cleaner Kit for styli
(SC-4).
- Clean the stylus periodic ally with a soft brush to prevent the accumulation of dust.
- When the sound becomes distorted or noisy, check the stylus. If worn out, replace it with a new one.
