Folks,
Couple more things:
1) Material with piano is very good and included in my Norah Jobnes. this seems to be a good indication of timbre.
2) There is no ultimate "perfect" setting. As you get close to optimum, you'll need to make tradeoffs between upper end extension and bass response.
Gregm,
I started with an SRA of about +1.5 degrees. A parallel tonearm with the Orpheus provides about 1.2 degree SRA.
Doug,
Good to hear about your method. I had a little difficulty trying to figure out the mistracking point. I don't know if this would be close to the minimum recommended value. Anyway, with my cartridge, I think i'm higher than 0.04 grams above mistracking. this range would probably be higher for higher compliance cartridges.
