CDS - On the Level

Its not hard to do (you just need a small spirit level) - give it a try, and you tell me

I reckon its a noticable improvement, and a bonus to prolong my nextel ring life.

by levelling the CDS spindle

Thanks for any info

Normally with Mana I level the rack, and then tune/level each shelf (not sure if the likes of Nutter/Laim/Plod allow individual shelf levelling).
Someone mentioned that it maybe worth actually levelling the cds - using the spindle as the reference.

By the spindle - I basically mean where the puck normally sits, you'll need a small light spirit level place this directly on the spindle and start levelling from there - mate it makes a huge difference to the tunes (more dynamic and forceful, especially transients) and the tracking noise has gone and all that remains is a quite swishing sound.

I reckon its more important to level relative to the spindle - as this is doing the real work, and being off-centre probably causes more effort (error correction, dithering and all that nasty stuff)...

Maybe this is only a problem where shims are used ?
And when I think of all your suckers who prematurely upgraded to the cds2 - when maybe all that was required was spindle levelling.
