Today the girls took off early on a shopping bender, so I quickly fired up the rig and settled back with Cosi Fan Tutte. I enjoyed the music and the performances, but I could not help getting up every so often to tune the cartridge, trying to close in on basic settings, to get to the point where only per-record, relative VTA remains again. I think I am very close now, but we'll see/hear as the new motor continues to break in. Right now, it sounds like the "new cartridge" wants less damping than where I left off with the old motor/stylus, and also less anti-skating tension, and for now the arm is slightly lower than before on any given LP, as well. Anyway, the sound was good enough that I put on Bruckner 7 (Solti/VPO) as soon as CFT was done. This was not bad, but also not everything I hoped for, the electricity being not quite good enough for me. As things are for me now, everything has to be about perfect to really communicate Bruckner. I suppose it's a good thing that sound is better than before at less-than-optimal settings.
