Hi tutti,
I have a question about heating with the main unit of T560,
lot of T560 user talk about heating the stylus and used the term 0.60, 0.70 etc...
I can not understand why cause on mainunit the steps of the graduation on the heater pot is 1 by 1,
please someone of you can explain to me ?
thanks
syl

I wouldn't worry about measurements. Just use it until you hear improvement. We have it set at 5-10 all the time, then when we start getting noise we raise it to 15-20, then even more noise 30, then usually 35-40 is max before melting plastic to the stylus and getting scorched grooves.

If you want to know the heating amps you can measure it with a meter at the din connector

Also, heating the disc has much more effect than stylus heat.
