Then I put on a 180gm records and things improved, not perfect my the bass was improved and top end edgyness less prevalent. I had a light bulb moment and check the horizontal angle of the arm with a standard record and a 180gm and it was out. So after half an hour of fiddling with VTA I set it up primarily for standard record. Put one the records on I had noticed th problem with initially and presto all was good. So IMO you can hear the difference, obviously this is affected by the quality and accuracy of the equipment in use.
