Precision Turntable Alignment by True Audiophile
True Audiophile
We are one of the few people in the U.S. who have the ability and experience to truly offer Precision Turntable Alignment.
A famous stylus/cartridge manufacturers has stated over 95% of all turntables are never aligned properly. How do they know? They re-tip cartridges and explained 95% come in badly worn on one side and show signs of inaccurate alignment.
Most are turntables have basic setups at best. It plays the record, but doesn't allow the music to jump off the vinyl. If someone tells you they will setup the turntable before they send it to you that's a bad sign. It's impossible.
Precision or proper alignment is time consuming. Anywhere from 1 to 2+ hours. Once finished, it lowers surface noise and allows the music to explode off the record. Bigger, wider, deeper and higher soundstage. Increased micro dynamics and inner detail. Instruments actually sound like the instruments in the recording. Better separation and staging between the players and voices. Highs become more natural and separate as intended.
When we do a Precision Alignment customers are always stunned. From a ball of sound in the middle of the speakers to an exploded soundstage, usually wall to wall.
You've invested a lot in records, why not actually hear what's on them? We have more than 25 years experience in high-end audio and setting up systems and turntables.
Pricing is $400.00 drop off or $600 plus expenses if we have to travel. We prefer drop off becuase that allows us to take our time and double check our work. We like to get all the settings within .001%
We guarantee our work. If you are unhappy, our only caveat is that you allow us to undo our work and put your turntable back to how it was dropped off. We keep copious notes and photos to assist that process. At the same time, no one has ever wanted their money returned. You can find reviews of our work in the section: RealReviews on our home page.
Just a final comment: We do not do repair work. If your turntable is not operating correctly due to failed parts, please do not bring it to us until you get those parts repaired. We recommend at minimum that you change the belt. Optimally, a new cartridge is recommended due to what we mentioned above.
