In the hopes of preventing headshell disfigurement on my new Phantom armwands I went back to using nylon washers atop the headshell when mounting cartridges. But again for the third time I've come to find that the cartridge has seriously shifted over the course of a few months. I've never had this problem w/o nylon washers. But I am convinced that for some reason I'm experiencing some slow "creeping". I tighten the screws as much as I have in the past being careful not to over tighten the screws. For certain whenever I use nylon washers initial alignment is much harder since tightening the screws cause much more cartridge twisting than when not using them. I have tried metal washers as well but can't say they work any better.
After finding again (the hard way) that my cartridge has again crept out of alignment over time I'm determined to either find a better washer or skip the washers all together. Any ideas?
