The obsession, the trees. The music, the forest.

Subaruguru, Don't stop re-leveling your CDP unless your also stop releveling your amp, pre amp and speakers otherwise you will lose the synergy between your components you worked so hard to set up. :-) By the way, unless you are willing to wear the hair shirt of vinyl, please turn in your audiophile society identity card and your mensa card as well. We know who you are now, you're not going to fake us out with those Verity speakers of yours and your other assorted paraphernalia. :-)) PS I love those speakers!

For your consideration:

I used to "futz" with the VTA to the point of minor frustration (I just want to sit & enjoy, not jump up and down), until I noticed that one of my replacement mats is very slightly thicker than either of the standard mats for my two TT's. A small amount of testing convinced me that the sound differences between the mats corresponds to the thickness change (VTA being adjusted by swapping mats).

Now, my old thin LP's are played on the replacement mat, and my 180-200 gm's are on the standard mats. Works great for me, ymmv.

Newbee, yes, rather than break Verity Audio's strict proscription to NOT readjust the Parsifals, I'm now working on my VLA (yup, V Listening A) not by retilting ME with a variety of visco-elastic and Thalalay (huh?) seat cushions.
ZZZZZzzzz....
