Clearaudio concerto VTA on Unify 9


Could anyone give me a success story with their unify 9 / concerto set-up? I have a champion that I just set-up today after about a year in storage. I've set up an improvised base as i'm still waiting on the return of my hammer drill to mount my wall bracket, but I have a pair of Xindak MNU 8800s on loan for a few weeks and dont want to miss a second of hearing them and the TT. My new room is smaller, but better treated. I am noticing more surface noise than I remembered from before and would love some advice on where about folks have found the "sweet spot" Level? a little forward? a Little lower in the back? Using a EAR 834P (wish i could find a middle ground between MM and MC on that) Thanks

It's sitting at pretty much level, it does sound amazing. I gave the records a good scrubbing and things are sounding pretty good. The imaging I'm getting now is similar to what I remember from when I first set it up (impressive) Making fine adjustments with the VTA on the unify is so damn near impossible and any fiddling which requires adjustments to the tone arm, VTA/tracking force, leave me in a sweat as it brings memories of snapping off the tip on my previous cart and if this one goes i am out of the analog game for the foreseeable future, so the risk reward analysis is a complex one at the moment. Hifimaniac... you serious ran it at 1.9grams? Clearaudio says 2.8 and leaves it at that for the tracking force, is that a typo?

Thank you for the advice
Keilschmeil, I am so sorry; Yes, it is 2.9! Sorry. I pulled out my sheet inside the box and the recommended tracking force for my specific cartridge was 2.9! Don't want to run lighter as that creates more damage than a little too heavy. Sorry for my mistake.
