1 | Adjusting the pick-up arm geometry and system should always be performed by
a specialist. In case of incorrect settings, the effects range from sound problems to
one-sided and therefore premature wear of the system. Good specialist dealers have
special measuring and adjusting equipment. It is much more accurate than what may
be included with the pick-up system.
2 | On record players with a sub-chassis, the vibration behaviour should also be
optimised by an expert. Sound improvements are possible here as well.
3 | Using a decoupling mat that contributes to better mechanical separation
between the record and turntable can further improve the sound quite significantly.
4 | Special attention should also be paid to the chosen cable materials and
assembly . This applies in particular to the system cables (headshell), the cables
from the pick-up to the Black Cube Statement and the cables to the downstream
pre-amplifier.
Sound optimisation tips
The Black Cube Statement can only be as good as the signal
supplied by the turntable or pick-up system. Since playing back
a record consists of mechanical sampling with many important
influencing variables, we provide some sound optimisation tips
here. For high-end record players in particular, you should consult
your dealer for the required service and adjustments.
