Turntable leveling...

I have a Rega P9/Lyra Delos and my cabinet is not perfectly level. My bubble level shows about 25% of the buble outside of the circle and digital reading shows about a -1.4° as the most declination on the TT. How important is it that I get it spot on? I would need to complete unload the cabinet to level it at it feet. It is a heavy cabinet with a marble top. The wt of the equipment in it probably exceeds 250 lbs.

I use small slips of paper under the individual feet. Right now I used "PostIt Notes" 'cuz that is what i have on hand. I just add and subtract layers until the platter is perfectly level. Lucky for me both my TTs have three feet. But it would only be a little harder with four.

Three vs four has been discussed.
Three is great until you bump it. Four is really stable.
For turntables three is OK. For electronics I do not like it as stacking. or heavy stuff high up is really dangerous. As for speakers. well, as long as you never knock them over... three is possible.
For racks it makes no sense for three, as the two hanging corners suck.
I like FIVE personally, and add a rubber fifth foot under most of my stuff to dampen the chassis.
