Question on VTF (What should i adjust it to?)

@noromance , The Decca is not a cartridge. It is a chisel. Don't expect it to act like a normal cartridge.

@lewm , no doubt. There are many biases; visual, expectation, cerebral etc. They do seem to be predictable. Tweaks always seem to make things sound better, hardly ever worse. I think individuals think they can filter their own biases, "I am in control." This is an illusion. Every time I test someone's reflexes they laugh. There is this quick realization that they can't control it. The leg is going to jerk regardless of how hard they try to stop it. There is a lot we do not have control over, our central nervous system is a prime example. In control? Under the right stress your brain can make you kill yourself. It can make a woman kill her children. It can make you steal a Mustang GT500 and speed yourself halfway across the country before managing to get arrested (True story! This was a manic Budweiser executive who stopped his meds. He erroneously though he was in control.) You are not in control, you are just along for the ride. 
Now I'm going to get that male ego, ruffled fur business and how FOS I am.  I admit it ahead of time, I am FOS. Should I report myself?

@kro77,
Run in pop is not good if volume setting is too high,  rather a feeling of what to expect. But that's me. Being a new cartridge let it run at max recommended Vtf for a number of hours. Then most likely you will have to do alignments again.

Thanks for the tips, will try to up it to 1.6 and then go down from there.  The POP is not crazy loud, just louder than my previous cartridge.  Both are MM types.

Went from Clear Audio Virtuoso (used) to a NOS Voice.

@kro77 , I just got a new Voice but won't have a turntable for another month or so. Do let me know what you think of it. The Voice is a moving iron cartridge. The iron wiggles between the magnet and the coil changing the magnetic flux. The Iron weights much less than magnets or even a coil reducing the effective mass of the moving assembly of the cartridge which should improve tracking. 

Mijo, We don't disagree, but I was not referring to involuntary reflex arcs or the manifestations of mental illness.  I mean, when your wife asks you, "Does this dress make me look fat?", you have to wonder why she thinks it might.  I was really wrong to take off on noromance's advice about VTF.  The most common case in audio is the difference in SQ between copper and silver wire.  Yet, they really do sound a bit different, because there is just no way to control for one's bias in that case.  If you look at the audio signal that has passed through copper vs silver on a 'scope and analyzed for bandwidth and distortion, I doubt you would see a particle of difference.  (Haven't done it, so don't know.)  The retort for that observation is there is more to it than just bandwidth and the kinds of distortion we can easily measure.  This allows us to go on thinking there is a difference between silver and copper wire.  (And I admit to being one of those.)
