I find the Titan I to be very dynamic in the Phantom. IF you put too much damping fluid you will "slow" down the cartridge & it will not sound live. How much do I use? Not sure but not a lot. I tuned by ear. As the cartridge breaks in further tuning might be needed. The Phantom is one of the most live sounding tonearm I have tried if you don't add damping fluid. I tried a few cartridges that way. No tracking problems are anything just a little edgy. The little bit of damping fluid removed the edginess.
As for setup, honestly, I checked the Phantom setup tool myself feeling it to be not 100% accurate against the DB Systems protractor using the magnifying glass. It was spot on. I was surprised but there was no deviation at all between the 2 null points. I thought it would be off.
Now, a final point and this is a big one. What tonearm does not change HTA whe you change VTA. Basic geometry. Slight changes in VTA will do very slight changes in HTA if you have a fixed bearing. I do check HTA if I do a major change in VTA. Mind you, must arms the VTF changes if you change the VTA too much. Just simple physics.
