Tonearm/cartridge alignment.
I have an AT LP 120 turntable with a Denon DL-110 cartridge that I just installed. Looking from the front of the cartridge, Using the Elvon Azimuth/ATV tool, I can see that the top tilts outward, so the cartridge needs to be rotated CCW to be perpendicular to the record. Is there any way to rotate the tonearm on this turntable, or do I have to shim the cartridge?

Re: Tonearm/cartridge alignment.
The azimuth rotation for tonearms with the standard removable head shell, if it’s available, is usually in the head shell itself just at the area that the round area that plugs into the tonearm meets the flatter part. If the original head shell does not have this ability to adjust the rotation you will need shims or to acquire another head shell that has the ability.

Re: Tonearm/cartridge alignment.
Probably going to need shims. Amazon has a nice turntable kit of shims and screws and such for about $10.

Re: Tonearm/cartridge alignment.
If I can't rotate the headshell, I'll look into those. Thanks.
