I found myself gaining confidence and comfort using a lesser valued cartridge to learn.
Excellent advice. I actually bought the usb microscope to look at the setup on my Denon DL-304. I decided to try it out on the lesser Audio Technica. Glad I did. I'd be spitting BB's right now if I messed up the Denon.

Tima's suggestion is a pretty darn good one. Especially with a cart as expensive as the Etna is.
