proper arm setup: Is there a way to set up the arm so that is slightly "heavier"?

First, you must decide which is more important...Saving and playing warped records or the life of your entire collection!! Maybe you should invest in a second cart and headshell so you can choose when to play warped records. Or, you could use the time tested method of a penny or a dime taped to the headshell. After a few plays you will notice what appears to be a whitish color in the grooves...and a shhhhhh sound, That is your music being dug and scraped out by the heavy tracking force of the stylus. I think keeping your records separated into flat and warped and using two headshell/stylus combinations is the way to go.&lt;Get a cheaper cartridge-stylus combination. A set up for 45's would be a good bet...The larger stylus may fit the record grooves better. &gt; Also, try washing your records and gently scrubbing the grooves with a med soft toothbrush. Go with the groove and not against it. Try this: Take a warped record that seems to be a loss ...Fill a sink with hot tap water, just hot enough to feel the heat, ( Not too hot or you will make it worse, the record will curl! A friend of mine had pretty good success with a hair dryer.) place the record in the water for about five minutes...Remove from the water, quickly dry and place on a flat surface with a weighted flat surface on top. (Two pieces of flat glass or plastic are perfect.) and allow record to cool thoroughly. Repeat as is necessary...after awhile the record will come back closer to flat, at least flat enough so that it can be rescued by copying to a CD. Also, Go on line and find a commercial record cleaning fluid to lube the grooves after washing them with dish soap; that may help with the skipping problem. As far as the arm is concerned, just adjust the counter weight until the arm "Floats" balanced then add one more click to let the stylus settle to the record surface.

It's not heavy but it is cumbersome to try and get arms around with a good grip. Hope this helps you.

I think when I got this it said 30 lbs per arm. I DO NOT believe mine will hold that amount.

Yes, That's the way I have it set up. If you don't use the short leg extensions it will be a bit lower also, which is exactly what I wanted.

Either way. You can make the arms fit as tightly or loosely as you like. Great stand.

I have little arms and it works fine for me, for the price you can't go wrong. It has a strap on it where you should be able to pull it tighter if need to.

Yes, not a problem at all, since the arm's pretty stiff. What may give is the attachment to the table, especially if you reposition it alot.

Maybe if you velcro something around the arm, but I don't think it would be all that stable.

That setting is not suggested, might be best just to get an additional single arm to hold the laptop or monitor.

I think the lamp is weighted well. When I extend the arm out fully with the second (upper) pole on the same side of the main (bottom) pole as the head of the lamp, it does lean slightly, but it's still secure. To prevent the slight lean, I use the lamp with the second (upper) pole on the opposite side of the main (bottom pole) from the head of the lamp - this is how it's shown in the listing image here on Amazon. Hope that makes sense.

It works but the flexible arm is difficult to put in a position where it isn't in the way.

You have the base between your legs so I don't think one arm will feel comfortable resting on it.

Yes the boom arm is included and the arm itself is meant to support a reflector or something of similar weight. I'd suggest perhaps 1-2kg max at the end if at an angle. Much more straight up.

that would be fine... not sure with the right measurements... I have the same set up... the arm has 3joints it bends (by the base, on the arm itself and at the monitor connector) you can put the monitors straight or slightly curved like what i do...

It has a minimum tension only, it still requires some effort, like you were using about a 5 lb weight. It was also easier when I held it out at arms length, and used your other hand to stabilize it. I haven't set it any higher and it's been a couple of months.

I had trouble with this too. I tried 4 or 5 times, then it just fell into place. If you look at the picture carefully, the loops go over the bar and the bottom protruding arms hook on the bottom bar. Good Luck.

You should have no problem because the arms have articulating joints that allow the horizontal placement to be adjusted as close as you will need without any issues.
