@jperry @geof3 ,
my sme v is set up by don better of don better audio and he has the base of the arm slightly lower than the shell. Is that recommended or should I make it flat horizontal as in the instruction manual . I have not experimented with either position . Didn’t want to change setup by the professional without good advice as I am new to accurate rig like this . I am used to rega plug and play till now .
The vtf I did adjust , he had set it at 1.9, When I reduced it to below 1.8 the sound started deteriorating. I have it a 1.82 now .
thanks everyone for your advice
