Only a painstakingly aligned pickup cartridge is able to

compliment the outstanding sonic capabilities and poten-

tial of this record player. If you consider the alignment too

difﬁcult to be carried out by yourself, do not hesitate to ask

your Thorens dealer for a helping hand.

ATTENTION: When aligning the cartridge great

care is once more obligatory in order to avoid that

the delicate stylus or sensitive parts of the tone

arm are being damaged. If you are a newcomer

without any experience it is better to leave this

work to an expert who knows the speciﬁc char-

acteristics of most cartridges. A badly aligned

pickup cartridge will be well on the way to yield

bad sound and to damage your records!

Azimuth: This is the angle between cantilever and record

groove. It should be exactly 90° (excluding those cartridg-

es in which the cantilever has purposely been installed with

a slight offset). Azimuth can be adjusted neither on the TP

250 nor on the TP 300. It is therefore most important that

a cartridge with precise azimuth is going to be mounted.

Alignment of pickup cartridge

Offset: this is the angle between the longitudinal axis of

the pickup cartridge and the tonearm’s longitudinal axis.

In all pivoted tonearms (like TP 250 and TP 300) the opti-

mum angle is to be found between 21° and 24°. The spe-

cial cartridge alignment gauge required for this adjustment

may be available from your Thorens dealer.

Overhang: this is the distance between the stylus tip and

the centre of the platter spindle. For the TP 250 and TP

300 the overhang should be 17 mm. The special cartridge

alignment gauge required for this adjustment may be avail-

able from your Thorens dealer.
