Sussurro MkII and surface noise?

Peter's OCL is without question, and by far, the most difficult stylus profile to dial in with respect to overall setup that I've ever had to deal with. Extremely sensitive to VTA in particular with respect to how noisy it will be in the groove but also VTF and azimuth of course.

There will be a very narrow window with respect to VTA/SRA in terms of how it will perform with respect to not exaggerating groove/surface noise once it has broken in. It will be interesting to see if that setting conforms to what the AM software is telling you.

I'd agree with other posters about putting 50-60 hours on the cartridge before really getting serious on the setup. IMO, once you have azimuth set up properly you will then need to experiment with very small incremental changes in VTA/SRA along with similarly small changes in VTF at the same time (I'd be inclined to going higher into the recommended range of VTF than lower) to try and nail the setting.

You will know it when you hear it and it will be much easier for you if your arm has VTA on the fly adjustment (mine does not).

But virtually any other line contact stylus (including Peter's on his mid level retip) is much easier and more forgiving to set up. Any of the microridge styli are even more forgiving IMO.

Ditto for me with my Grace Ruby re-tip, using the OCL stylus.  When it's good, it's very very good.  Etc.

I sure don't have the experience that some here do but I found my Sussurro the easiest cartridge I've ever owned to set-up. Maybe I just got lucky?

Maybe, @slaw . I set up my Benz SL when I first got a 3D arm in about 5 minutes. I figured the cart alignment gods were smiling on me that day. 

I added a new Sussurro to my table in January and have enjoyed it very much all year. Then recently, after seeing a notice on Analogue Corner from MF about a few WallyTraktors still being available, I ordered one to use with my Helius Omega arm. Wow. After just a few minutes (well maybe a half hour) of readjustment and suddenly the cart sounds WAY better. I've got the arm as low as I can with my setup and the arm is just a hair's breadth above horizontal. The VTF is 2.15 to compensate a bit for the slightly high arm and the SRA looks good in my scope. Yes, I did tweak the azimuth a bit by ear as well. At any rate, everything now sounds as I'd always hoped but thought wasn't quite possible with my equipment. Surface noise is nonexistent on most good vinyl and the soundstage is to die for now. And believe me I've spent many hours messing with everything from tweaks to amps trying to get to this place. 
So yes, from my 40+ years' experience, these styli are indeed tricky to get aligned just right. but boy is it worth it!
