AnalogMagic V2 Cartridge Setup Software

AnalogMagik V2 is Windows-based cartridge calibration software that provides a scientific, repeatable method for optimizing every turntable setup parameter simultaneously — not just one or two in isolation. Developed by Richard H. Mak and a team of engineers over thousands of hours of laboratory work, it uses proprietary algorithms and two dedicated test LPs (one 33rpm, one 45rpm) to deliver consistent, meaningful distortion measurements across all key analog setup parameters.

What It Calibrates

AnalogMagik V2 addresses: turntable speed, channel balance, azimuth, vertical tracking angle (VTA/SRA), stylus raking angle, zenith angle, anti-skating, phono stage loading, phono stage gain, vertical tracking force, vibration measurement, resonance frequency, and AES wow and flutter — all from the same session, with parameters treated as interdependent rather than isolated variables.

Why It's Different

Generic distortion analyzers and oscilloscopes lack the proprietary filtering, mathematical averaging, and algorithmic logic required to extract stable, repeatable results from a spinning LP. AnalogMagik's algorithms account for warped records, off-center spindle holes, line noise, hum, clicks, and pops — problems that cause ordinary analyzers to produce inconsistent results. The software guides the user through every parameter with on-screen instructions and tells them what optimal numbers to target and what adjustments to make.

What's Included

AnalogMagik V2 software, USB license key, and two 180g virgin vinyl test LPs (one 33rpm, one 45rpm). Requires a Windows laptop and the ART PHONO PLUS soundcard for operation.
