Turntable leveling...

I have a Rega P9/Lyra Delos and my cabinet is not perfectly level. My bubble level shows about 25% of the buble outside of the circle and digital reading shows about a -1.4° as the most declination on the TT. How important is it that I get it spot on? I would need to complete unload the cabinet to level it at it feet. It is a heavy cabinet with a marble top. The wt of the equipment in it probably exceeds 250 lbs.

Actually leveling with 4 IS much harder than with 3. Three is the most stable...with 4 you must make sure that there is sufficient weight on all 4 "feet" and that none is just hanging. It makes me wonder why manufacturers do 4 feet instead of 3

Exactly !
If I was in your position, I would made a second plinth out of granit with 3 adjustable spikes (or cones or whatever) in between your TT & your marble stand.
Always check the level to your armboard also. IT HAS TO BE exactly the same together with your platter's : INEVITABLY QUITE SIMPLY P E R F E C T
This is critical !
