Well the real question is if the improvement is worth the hassle; I'm not sure I'd even want to change a cartridge again anytime soon. ;-)
Frankly I would have given it a shot by now if it didn't require redoing the azimuth. |

I was a little concerned about the overall install and having to reset everything. But.... It turns out it actually makes setting up the cart a lot easier and quicker with out having the arm balancing and wobbling around. The best thing is how easy it is to adjust AZ now... No more messing with counterweight... just adjust the set screw and done. |

Added one to my Aries 3X3 and have enjoyed the improvement. As others have said requires a do-over on the setup parameters.

Once you set the AZ you do need to adjust the side wt a bit to keep from getting too much VTF on the pivot point. It would be the wt opposite of the pivot point.

Not a big deal just some more fine tuning, the adjustable side counterweights are a nice feature! |

Thank you.
Interesting. Is that a true bearing(s) or more of an anti-wobble device?
