Dear Andrew: +++++ " In Doug's system, Paul felt the VTA for the O was just right when the tonearm was moderately lower than parallel. Similar position used for the Universe. " +++++
It is a big surprise to me that two different stylus type cartridges with different electrical design and build characteristics can perform at the same top performance level at the exactly the same SRA.
+++++ " In my system, I have the tonearm pivot base adjusted so that the tonearm is moderatley higher than parallel. " +++++
The question is: do you agree with the O SRA set up on Doug system?
The other important subject is if both cartridges have the same output level, can you tell me about? did doug changes in the volume position each time that you change of cartridge hearing?
Btw Andrew, I read that the O needs only 30 hours and if this figure is right I'm really worried about the O mistracking problem because according to specs the O tracking ability is higher than 70um at 1.8gr that is a good spec and that figure increment maybe to 80-85um at the VTF that you run it at Doug's place, this could mean that your O could have a suspension problem, I can't really sure and is better that you ask to your dealer about.
Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
