VTA on a Triplanar

What VTA setting do most Triplanar owners use/recommend ? Appreciate that there are a host of subjective variables ie the cart, record thickness, VTF, listening preferences etc etc but I reckon there is an optimal range or reading on the scale of 1-11. From my experience with a Lyra Skala and VTF of 1.60 gm, a reading of around 5.5 on the VTA cylinder( taking the reading from the top of the silver cylinder in line with the vertical scale and NOT the horizontal line in the middle) appears most promising but am still learning and experimenting.
Would appreciate any comments/suggestions.
Cheers

"triplanar vta"

a lot of us here adjust vta on every record with a quick dial up in the opening passages

as mike said - you can hear the results rather dynamically

Mikelavigne:
Thank you for some excellent advice.suThe cart has been set up with a MintLP etc.I guess I have been far away from a blissful state of mind for too long and that does'nt really help VTA or anything else.Wow what a fantastic system you have!!
Tvad:
Would have appreciated your tongue in cheek more if I had'nt forked out 4.7k! Did we exchange notes on an CJ pre many moons ago?
Cheers and Happy listening

Tvad, read Mike's post again. He didn't say it was unique, you added that part. Your joke has no punch line. ;-)
