I've got a Rega P3 with an Elys cartridge. I thought it sounded a bit

initially balancing the arm as best I can. What do you guys think?


Best way is to get a test record with different level tracks and set the
weight using that. It's pretty obvious when they're mistracking on steady
tone. But most makers figures tend to err on the low side, if anything.
