Rug: The difference between my set up of the arm and the set up done by Bill Parrish once my TT stand arrived was the difference between excellent and out of this world.
Arm absolutely level and then and only then, balanced.- There is a trick to doing this that goes way beyond simply using a spirit level for the platform. If truly levelled, Bill flicked the arm and it 'bounced' in place, not moving left or right- not recommending that you try that without reading the instructions, but- again, getting an experienced set up guy could make a profound difference in your final
performance.
VTA- differences are not subtle. Is the arm 'zero'd' so you can adjust VTA properly? (I don't usually harp on VTA, but with this arm, small adjustments are not only easy to make, but absolutely critical to its full performance).
