Kuzma Cartridge set up - Manual (Page 4)

Continue this process making ever decreasing adjustments, 1/8 of a turn, then 1/l6 and so on. When
optimum results are obtained fix the locking screws. To remember the position of the azimuth,
imagine that the inserted Allen key acts as a dial on the clock.
NOTE: During fine adjustment only gently fix locking screws during listening.
The adjustment screw is highly sensitive and the smallest pressure on the Allen key will alter the
azimuth and sound.
Do not attempt any adjustment when the locking mechanism is locked. Although no damage can be
done.
Significantly improved sound can be obtained by paying attention to azimuth adjustment prior to final
VTA adjustment.
Appendix 3
Fine bias adjustment
1. Set bias and tracking force as previously described and listen to mistracking on highly
Modulated tracking bands on test record. On higher modulated bands mistracking can be
heard as impure tones and there will be more overtones. (See instructions on test record)
2. If mistracking is apparent, increase or decrease bias until minimum mistracking is found.
If mistracking is heard on the right channel only then the bias is too low, if on both
channels the bias is too high or the trackability limit of the cartridge has been reached.
3. Finally further decrease mistracking by increasing tracking force to the maximum
Recommended for the cartridge.
4. It is best to have the highest possible tracking force and low bias force.
