![]() ![]() By aligning to these two points, we achieve the best possible result from a pivoted tonearm. These null points are the only spots across the record surface where the stylus can perfectly align with the record groove. We use this to align the cartridge cantilever at two null points. For this application, I recommend using a cartridge alignment protractor. ![]() Correct alignment will ensure that we minimize tracking errors across the record surface. With a standard pivoted tonearm, the stylus traces across the record in an arc, meaning only an approximation of the cutting head’s tangential path is possible. Record grooves are cut in a linear fashion. If your cartridge is a factory-fit, this should already be correct, but in all honesty, it pays to check, just in case. The cartridge is attached and the tonearm balanced we must now set the alignment to ensure the stylus correctly tracks the record groove. To apply the 1.75g required for my cartridge, I simply set the counterweight to 17.5 mN.)Ħ: To ensure a more accurate weight, adjust using a stylus tracking force gauge. In my case, one mark on the scale represents 1 mN (0.1g). (Refer to your turntable manual for details on how your counterweight scale represents downforce. Once set, your cartridge will track at approximately the right pressure. Correct tracking force is important set it too high and the sound will be dull, set it too low and cartridge won’t track properly.Īssuming your tonearm is pre-fitted with a cartridge, here’s how to balance a tonearm and set the tracking force.ĥ: Turn your counter-weight until the dial reads the correct number. The counterweight on the end of your tonearm is used to apply the correct amount of pressure in agreement with the manufacturer’s recommendations. These are often very delicate, so take extra care. Once mounted, you’ll need a pair of long-nose pliers to attach the color-coded wires. Most cartridges are held on with a pair of bolts. Either way, you’ll need a cartridge fitted before you can set the tonearm ready for playback.įixing a cartridge to the headshell is fairly simple, but also fiddly. Many also come pre-fitted with the cartridge, however, higher-end models often don’t. Most decks come pre-fitted with a tonearm unless you have purchased a more specialist desk. Check the turntable at multiple points using the spirit level to achieve an even surface across the desk. If you need to make adjustments, most turntables enable you to tweak the feet until it sits just right. Start by measuring the plinth, which is the main body of your turntable. Use a small spirit level to measure this as it will help to ensure that your stylus can sit correctly in the record groove. Once you’ve settled on the ideal surface, it’s absolutely critical that your turntable is level. You can also further improve isolation by mounting the turntable on top of an isolation platform, or by upgrading your deck’s feet. For example, I own a vintage 1960s unit with hairpin legs that work well. If you opt for standard furniture, then feet-mounted units are best as they will minimize contact with the floor surface. If this is not desirable or possible, then a sturdy hi-fi rack with isolation feet will do the trick. Some audiophiles will go as far as mounting a dedicated wall shelf. It pays to minimize your surface contact with the floor as much as possible. The sound from your speakers is an obvious common problem, as are footfall vibrations from suspended wooden floors. If your hi-fi is set up in your living room, finding the ideal surface is often challenging, but try if you can to avoid excessive resonance, as any vibrations can result in degraded sound. The ideal surface should be perfectly level and free from resonance. The surface your turntable sits on can have a huge impact on the final performance and sound. But whatever turntable you own, setting up invariably starts with the right surface top or support. As you move into higher-end turntables, there is often a little more assembly required. Many new entry-level turntables are fairly plug-and-play, with just a few things to adjust. How much detail you will need to follow depends greatly on what kind of turntable you own. All of this starts with correct turntable setup. The more precisely your stylus can track said groove, the better your records will sound, and the longer they will last. The average LP has about 1,500 feet of groove on each side, and the groove in question is less than a hairline thick. Accuracy is key, and it’s easy to understand why when you consider the task at hand. Setting up your turntable correctly is fundamental if you want to achieve the best possible sound from your vinyl records. ![]()

![]() The United States Bicentennial in 1976 was cause for the United States government to honor the nation’s 200th anniversary on banknotes, just as was being done in the mid-1970s with special designs on the quarter, half dollar, and dollar coins. With other similarly denominated bills as monetarily adjacent options, most Americans preferred carrying around $1 and $5 notes instead of $2 bills. Still, it wasn’t just the $2 bill’s less-than-innocent reputation that became an obstacle to the denomination’s success in circulation. Why? It didn’t help that, by that time, the $2 bill had become associated with gambling and political bribes – both deeds often done with $2 bills. By the middle of the 20th century, the $2 bill began falling away from common use in circulation. Over time, the note saw gradually increasing use, perhaps more a function of inflation than preference for the note itself. In those days, a $2 bill represented a decent sum of money – especially considering that a typical laborer in any of the big East Coast cities may have been earning about 75 cents to $1 during the Civil War era. The first $2 bills were printed under the second issue of Legal Tender Notes, produced as Series 1862. Let’s be frank here – when did you last see a $2 bill outside of a numismatic shop or banknote collection? Have you ever seen a $2 bill in regular circulation, let alone used one to pay for something? If you’re of a certain age, chances are rather good that you can say you’ve spent a $2 bill as bona fide money – and not just to give to someone as a special sort of tip or a birthday gift to a youngster. Suffice it to say, that first thought isn’t all that uncommon, especially among our friends in the non-numismatic community. However it is that the unsuspecting Joe or Jolene happens upon the $2 bill, it’s generally a moment met with at least two thoughts: “I didn’t know they made $2 bills!” and/or “what’s this $2 bill worth?” ![]() Quite often, the non-collector’s rare encounter with a $2 bill is associated with an event of good tidings – perhaps the $2 bill is a holiday gift, or it’s given to the recipient as part of a tip. ![]() Click images to enlarge.ĭid you recently come across a $2 bill and wonder what it’s worth? You’re not alone… The $2 bill is one of the seemingly most unusual types of banknotes Americans have the pleasure of (occasionally) stumbling upon today. ![]() The Series 2003 $2 bill carries Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and on the reverse a vignette depicting the presentation of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. ![]() ![]() Advertising the event with flyers and signs or sharing it on your church’s website or social media accounts will help get the word out and increase the likelihood that your outreach attempt will be successful. Once you have your event’s specifics planned, you’ll also need to plan how you’ll market the event. ![]() You can plan all of the outreach ideas you want, but your church will not see growth unless members of the community actually attend. This will make your outreach efforts more effective and feel more personal. To have a truly successful church outreach event, you need to narrow down and identify your target audience. Due to these differences, the same ministry outreach idea won’t have the same impact on everyone. The members of your community are individuals that have unique interests and personalities. If you want to make your church outreach ideas successful, there are a few things you’ll need to consider. How to Successfully Host a Community Outreach Event I’ll give you a range of the ideal volunteers needed to run this event successfully. You’ll also need to consider whether you have enough people to run the event.

This entry will give you a rough idea of how much of a time commitment this idea will require.

Combining social and racial justice advocacy and awareness-raising with resource provision to empower under-resourced communities is our urgent priority.The church exists to introduce people to Jesus Christ, and this is why we constantly need to come up with new church outreach ideas!
