Yup, could do with a shim to be fair.
It doesn't sound light though which I would have thought with the tail slightly up. I'm going to try and sort the leveling issue before I put too many more hours on it as I don't want to break it in at anything other than dead level.
I can use an additional mat on top of my standard one but the sound will certainly suffer. Hence I'm after a 7mm thick mat . . . search is so far elusive . . .
I've actually emailed AT about as to why the TT in standard form (with no VTA adjustment) is designed to run its homogenized cart (95ex) with such a tracking angle. No response yet though.
I've yet to hear a less than incredible (given the price) sounding AT OCxx cart. Top marks to AT as usual for price/performance ratio.
Wish I'd have bought two for that price now!
