Hi alls, Our beograms do not have (unless I'm mistaken) a lot of (if any) adjustments beside tracking force. No azimuth, no anti skating, no "whatever it is named I don't even know what it is"… Then I wonder if the common "Test records" meant to fine tune a deck are of any use for us?

You can find test/calibration/alignment records in good shops, on Ebay or f.e. here: https://www.discogs.com/search?q=stereo+test%20record&type=all Note, that test records should not be bought "used" unless you trust the seller. If a test record was played using a bad needle, it could be damaged and absolutely worthless. Martin
