If it sounds 'great', everything is ok?

G'day to all

Given that the listener has at least a good average hearing: If the sound quality from a record sounds 'great' to his ears, the various settings of the tone arm and cartridge (VTF, etc.) are correctly set.

Right or wrong?

Thanks for your inputs.

Cheers, eagledriver

Sorry, I find this question pretty silly.

Of course it's correctly set. To his ears.

Since you are happy with what you have, why not ask if incorrectly setup tonearm/cartridge will damage a record?

Ears beat measurements, but it's always worth hearing other systems to see if your overall balance might be better.

Also, room acoustics are things which many dont' know they need until they've heard a great sounding room. Some may never care.  I know some "audiophiles" that absolutely refuse to invest in room treatments on some moral principle.  Good luck to them. :)
