Using a Soundsmith Voice cartridge with a 12" FatBoy

Hi

I wanted to see if anyone is using a Soundsmith Voice cartridge with a 12" Fat Boy tone arm.


I have a Classic 4 with a 12" fatboy. Using a Dr. Feikert Alignment tool I confirmed my pivot to spindle distance is 300mm.


I tried to set up a Sound Smith Voice cartridge but I am unable to get the proper offset.


With the cartridge moved out to the end of the tone arm as far as it can go the stylus is about 2 mm short of the offset point.


It appears that when using the 300mm PS it is not possible to get the correct offset with the Voice cartridge??


Thoughts suggestions appreciated

Thanks

Hi Rich Glad to hear a simple solution worked out for you and appears this would solve my problem also. Im hoping to hear from VPI to figure out exactly what version FB I have and the proper P2S distance. In the mean time I will try your solution.


Thanks
