I set my overhang to the Baerwald setting, adjusted the cartridge so cantilever is perpendicular to the null pt., and then checked the azimuth with the Foz. only 0.5db difference between left and right (left being higher); I left it alone. I am now awaiting the arrival of my Manley Chinook phono stage. Santa has been nice to me this year.
You'll love the Manely Chinook, that's what I paired with my VPI Classic 2......it sounds great. I did some tube rolling with Upscale Audio and did some nice Amperex NOS tubes. It's very smooth. Lots of flexibility with cartridge loading as well! You go Santa!
