ATTENTION: Never turn the VTA screws if the locking screws are tightened. Otherwise, you may damage the tonearm.

E. DAMPING ADJUSTMENT The damping fluid well (9) is visible, close to the tonearm pivot. The viscosity of the fluid provided is adapted to the best today's cartridges. The perfect damping adjustment is reached by increasing or decreasing the quantity of fluid in the well. The sonic result is easily detectable. A too low damping induce bright sound, loose low end and brittle highs. A too high damping induce deadness and a non-dynamic sound. To fill and drain the fluid, use the syringe provided in the accessories box. ATTENTION: The fluid well cannot take more than 2cc. If you fill it too much, the fluid may spread out by capillarity. A small quantity of the fluid is much enough to damp the tonearm properly. To reach the perfect damping may require some use. The only good and accessible tool to help to this adjustment is the listening. Be patient and exercise.

F. INTERCONNECTS LOCATION After the tone-arm set-up, connect the audio interconnects to the tone-arm, following the path explicated on the schematic of the left page. the cable must go through the back hole of the top plate of your table then, making a large loop, leave the turntable box by the right-back hole.

G. FINAL ADJUSTMENTS You may, after few hours of use, refine some of the adjusment previously made, as the VTA adjustment (see above), or the damping adjustment. Consult your nearest GOLDMUND dealer if you need any help.

10. LEVELLING If the correct leveling of the metacrylate base has been executed properly in the beginning of the set-up process, you may now perform the next step to adjust the sub-chassis horizontality. Otherwise you must now adjust the box level by action on the three black feet, using an external bubble level. To level the sub-chassis, insert in each of the three holes drilled above the suspension pods one 5mm allen key provided in the accessories. Turn each one until you reach the proper level of the sub-chassis and the horizontality of the bubble level. The proper level of the sub-chassis is reached when the top plate is approximately 2mm below the top level of the box sides.

11. DUST COVER ASSEMBLY Place the back of the dust cover in front of the hinges. Insert from the back of the hinges the supplied screws. On the cover side, insert one washer and one nut. Tighten the screws with the appropriate allen key.
