Hy,
I own the mentioned TT and people online are stating that you cannot upgrade the cartridge because the tonearm had fixed tracking force...
Now this might sound as a complete nonsence as I'm new to TTs,
but there is a screw at the base of the tonearm that clearly changes the tilt of the tonearm.
I had to adjust that screw when I received the TT, because tonearm was clearly too low. It will adjust the tilt for about 1cm end to end.
Isn't tracking force dependable on the tilt?
I understand that there is no VTA adjustment and that the tilt should be in parallel with the record.
Even if this is not the solution why couldn't I remove / cut the counterweight of the tonearm and install adjustable one?
Am I missing something?

Will anwser this one for myself. It is possible.
If anyone will need info in the future:
If you want to do the mod, you will also need to make the antiskating adjustable, there is the simple method you can use, it uses weight on the string.
Also weight of the whole arm must not be neglected because of the resonant frequency.
