Tracking force is at 2.1, and I believe the arm was leveled for 180 gram albums. Open to any suggestions.[/QUOTE]
Tracking force looks good, from everything I’ve read, VPI tables in the Classic series prefer to be run with the tail (end next to counterweight) slightly down rather than parallel. I experimented with this forever when I first got mine setup and I preferred the sound with it like that. It wasn’t any massive difference, but I could hear some brightness tamed a little. Everything sounded more coherent like this. One of these days I may grab one of those USB microscopes and see what angle my stylus is tracking. Fremer is a huge advocate of this.
