We published a blog post about how to balance a tonearm on your turntable if you prefer written instructions with pictures
I put together this written guide with pictures for anyone who prefers a step-by-step reference while they’re working at the turntable. It follows the same process I show in the video—anti-skate to zero, float the arm level, then set tracking force and anti-skate correctly. If you’re new to setup, having the visuals makes it easier to double-check you’re doing it safely around the stylus.
