The Skala was part of a characterization test case/exercise that involved the copper foil and some other stuff. Nothing special...

Re: Seven Reasons to listen to Vinyl
BTW, that Jan Allerts is MASSIVE! Like a cartridge on steroids. Setting that up must be a bitch!
Does it hit the record clamp too?

Seven Reasons to listen to Vinyl
Myles,
The Allaerts is pretty straightforward to set up. Doesn't get near my Viella's spindle clamp though it did make me sweat once when I tried a rim clamp on the S7 and it made contact!
The Allaerts finish is a fabulous cartridge though it needs a quiet high gain pre to really shine.

Re: Seven Reasons to listen to Vinyl
Agree yes indeed !---I had the Allaerts in an Ittok/LP12 and Hovland Phono Cable
Superb cartridge--full bodied( sorry pun!) sonics--smooth and virtually grain free
Highly recommended

Re: Seven Reasons to listen to Vinyl
Hi Myles. As some of the others have mentioned. No problems with clamps/weights (Basis Reflex, Feickert, J.R. Transrotor, Basis vacuum puck, and my Galibier Anvil) in any situation. The cartridge make it to the run-out groove without issue. Originally Posted by Myles B. Astor

Setup is not that bad. Of course, a microscope helps zero in on SRA. Without it properly set, the cartridge can sound too soft/smooth/sweet/etc...

Re: Seven Reasons to listen to Vinyl
I forgot to respond to this comment above. The outer body is aluminum and used for RFI shielding. It is like a very light shell surrounding the cartridge. The Allaerts is the second lightest cartridge (behind the Colibri) in my picture followed closely by the Skala. Although it looks huge, there are 5 other cartridges in the photo that are heavier.

Re: Seven Reasons to listen to Vinyl
Makes me think about having seven tonearms... No wait. Never mind. If that were the case, I wouldn't get to practice my setup skills as often. Originally Posted by Mike
