VPI Aries 2 , SME IV & Rotel RC 1090, cartridge?

Dear Gfloyd: My experience with many Ortofon cartridges is that we have to follow the recomended Ortofon VTF, that in the Jubilee is 2.3.
The other issue is the VTA: at least in the Mc 2000/ 3000/ 5000/ and 7500 the cartridge/headshell must be parallel to the record for obtain the best of either cartridge.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Thanks again Raul,
Yes, I know they recommend 2.3 grams. And I will be trying that again. Right now, I'm not sure I like the Ortofon 8 nines headshell leads that came with the cartridge. With them the cartridge seems lean compared to when I was using the the SME headshell leads. Although the cymbals sound really crisp and clean.

Dear Gfloyd53: Maybe the 8 nines needs a breack-in.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

OK Raul,
I have levelled the Ortofon Jubilee, set the tracking to 2.30 and the 8 nines are sounding 'mighty fine'! Thanks.
