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.

As mentioned above, level the table, not the cabinet. Leveling the cabinet will more than likely not provide good results for a level TT.

It is very important to have it level, especially across the arc or the arm.

Wtt founder and designer of the welltempered tables said. Level the table but don't be fanatical about it.

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.

Actually leveling with 4 IS much harder than with 3. Three is the most stable...with 4 you must make sure that there is sufficient weight on all 4 "feet" and that none is just hanging. It makes me wonder why manufacturers do 4 feet instead of 3
