"Now try this: having heard and understood just how your cartridge behaves across those test tracks, try making the same fine adjustments while listening to music. Your results will probably differ from the test record. There's a high probability that (slightly) reducing VTF and anti-skating from what's optimal on the test tracks will result in better sound on most records."
Maybe so, but I'm afraid to mess with success. I pretty much did all that (VTF, A/S, alignment) before using the test record to "trim" the distortion in the sound and music out.
If I were to change the VTF, I would most certainly have to change some other parameters as well, and it was such a pain. I haven't heard any problems yet so I'm going to leave things as they are for the time being.
Honestly, I love the way it sounds.
