I generally set bias at 50-60% of vtf, no EoS distortion to my ears when set this way.

Yes the same person Derek Jenkins is sorely missed by me and many others. A genius on an LP 12 and knew he way round many other turntables, I used to watch him taking my Linn apart and rebuilding fascinating.

Imho this is complete the opposite! A spherical stylus has a very small contact area versus a more elaborate profile like fineline microridge or shibata. So the skating force which is a function of offset angle and friction is far greater with „sharper“ stylus profiles than spherical.

So, apart from a little lateral excitation at 7Hz, my Houdini equipped DL103 has flown through the test record. I only had to adjust the bias very slightly to remove some distortion on the bias setting track. So, was it worth the money? Not sure. It has confirmed that my deck is well set up.

I'm glad you're enjoying it.
It would be nice to hear the Tracy Chapman tune without the Harry, and with the deck set up properly this time.
