In the video, Leif Johannsen explains the process of setting up and aligning a cartridge on a turntable with a detachable headshell. The term "detachable" indicates that the front part of the tonearm, which is where the cartridge will be mounted, can be removed. This feature allows for easier cartridge installation and adjustment. The detachable headshell is commonly referred to as a universal connector on the tonearm.

PLEASE NOTE:
Some of these adjustments may not be necessary or possible due to your cartridge, turntable, or setup equipment. But the more adjustment you make when setting up your cartridge, the greater experience you will get.

Always remember that cartridges are extremely delicate devices. Absolute care and attention must be given when installing your cartridge to avoid any accidental damage.
