Well Tempered Lab Amadeus Instruction Manual page 11

3. The Amadeus tonearm has an effective length of 10.5" (267 mm). The headshell is fixed ex-factory
in the optimum position. There is no provision for over-hang adjustment. Some alignment protractors
may well disagree. However, The Well Tempered Lab stands by their convictions.
Important: There is absolutely no reason to torque headshell/cartridge mounting hardware to ex-
cess. Cartridge mounting hardware only requires firm but gentle tightening. Heavy handed torquing
of mounting hardware can result in movement of the Amadeus headshell (refer to
www.welltemperedlab.net on tracking geometry).
4. There is an optional finger lift provided which can be attached to the cartridge fixing screw, adja-
cent to the right hand side of the plinth.
5. Apply damping fluid into bearing cup to approx halfway up golf ball. See Fig (19).
Note: Damping can be altered by simply raising or lowering the damping cup, it is not critical and
maybe adjusted to suit the listener's own preference.
6. Adjust tonearm for correct VTA by set screw on suspension pillar.
7. Set tracking force with stylus gauge, supplied to cartridge manufacturer's specification.
8. Correct Azimuth can be obtained by gently rotating the azimuth adjustment collar to allow the car-
tridge to track parallel to the record surface. This can be achieved whilst the record is rotating and
requires only minor correction in both directions to achieve the correct result.
9. Due to the viscosity of the damping fluid adjustments in both tracking force and azimuth require
the tonearm to momentarily "settle" to effect the correct results.
