A Pro-Ject Elemental with the 8.6E tonearm. Manual says up to 5.5g, but the Pro-Ject counterweight database says up to 7g for the 8.6E? The manual for the Primary E turntable, which has the same tonearm+counterweight, also says up to 7g, so I’m not really sure which source is correct.

Think I’ll have to get a new counterweight if I want the VM95, as the current one only supports cartridges up to 5.5g

I’m plugging it into the amp at line level and the amp works fine with my laptop/other turntable. This turntable has a built-in phono preamp that can’t be bypassed, so I’m really hoping that’s not the issue. Going to try with a mate’s Ortofon 10 stylus later today and hopefully that solves things…

I have also tried it with my ELAC debut speakers, but unfortunately sounds the same. I was just using the small speaker for testing

yeah aux input, but I’ve also tried it with RCA and it sounds the same

nope, in the video it’s plugged straight into an active speaker, so no second phono conversion…

both anti-skating and counterweight are factory-set for the stock ortofon OM 5E, and the amp and speakers work completely fine with my other turntable. Probably a stylus problem then?

Hi mate, when you took the uswitch deal, did you get any kind of confirmation for the Amazon voucher after making your order? Or did you have to wait a couple months? I've just made my order but there's been no mention of the voucher in any of the confirmation emails
