It is factory set, don't start playing with it?
My keyboard on my phone keeps disappearing at tines??
Anyway, I would expect the stylus be ok, just going by what it says on the instructions and the gizmo I’ve got.
Hasn’t it got a switch to go from 33 to 45, what’s this ‘adjust the belt’ comment for different speed, I’ve not read anything about that!!
Most Pro-ject decks don't have rpm switches, the table mounted spindle for the belt will have a large and small belt wheel on it, you move the belt between the two for 33 and 45. With most older generation LPs being 33 rpm, you should be ok
The cart and stylus should have been set-up, if so don't adjust it, only the tracking force (if that wasn't pre-set). The wee tool is for if you change the cart if you so choose to do but it should be gapped correctly already.
How far apart are your speakers?
They appear to be sat on tables?
Quick tip I used to advise customers on to bring a decent improvement was to use squash balls cut in half and put 3 domes under each speaker. Even better, although I understand you not wanting to do it, is to put drawing pins spike side up into base of speaker at each corner - does a great job of isolating them as at the moment they are attempting to make your table vibrate as well.
The Q Acoustics come with rubber isolating feet they screw in to the base and act as absorption points.
Yes, and because they’re less than 200mm from the wall, I’ve put the foam plugs in the back, which can be adjusted by how far you push them in, and the sound is superb.
Personally, I just use an IPA, water and fairly liquid mixture in a spray bottle and a thick micro fibre (sometimes cotton wool balls to get righr in to the grooves) always get good results, even on records that 'look' clean.
Ive q speakers and a lot of sound from such a wee thing, and clearI think you will really like those Q Acoustics. They sounds much bigger than their size and look great with the rounded edges. The Juke Box E gets good reviews on all fronts and the Ortofon OM is a good cart/stylus.
