Nsgarch is right, madness lurks around the very next corner!
As Nsgarch said, madness! But it sure sounds good doesn't it?!
More madness!
Now, mind you, certain records would sound better on certain settings, while others I recalled sounding better on earlier settings.You're but one step from where we are, adjusting arm height for each record. Once you go there, there's no escape. The only way to maintain sanity after that (he said hopefully) is to record each record's optimal setting for quick and painless setup on replays. You'll quickly notice that records on the same label tend to like similar settings, with only a tiny adjustment for record thickness/weight. You can even make lists, which makes finding the best setting for a new record much quicker.

whether by luck or just perserverence, I have now stumbled on a setting that has revealed so much of the midband that was previously obscured, it is downright spooky.That's the way we first found that sweet spot, dumb luck and fumbling. The right setting for any particular LP is so tiny that stumbling across it is almost the only way, at least until you practice alot.
More madness!
