Might be a tad high at the back, but sounding pretty good, lovely bass.

Remember VTA, it takes 4mm increase or decrease on a 230mm arm to change it by 1 degree. A slightly raised arm should be ok, as 92degree SRA is considered the best compromise.

Best to take time with Azimuth if your arm/headshell allows you to adjust it.

Quite enjoying this cart, making the Kinks less abrasive, I think so anyway...............Thought I'd try the ML version, £50 more! Still at £150 for a cart that you can change styli I'm laughing at all those MC mugs!!

Upon fixing my new VM95ml to a headshell I realised I had the wires the wrong way around on the 95en, corrected that but can't say I hear a difference, does it matter? Looking forward to trying the 95ml later once I'm home. The 95en is most impressive, and only a 100 quid!!

You’d have left out of right speaker and left out right, so transposed soundstage.
You could try swapping the wires around on each channel to hear it upside down.only joking don’t try it.

If you transpose the 'ground' connections you can sometimes end up with a hum problem.
I found this out some forty years ago when I misinstalled an Ortofon SL15E cartridge. The 'hum' was at a low level, but shouldn't have been there at all. Correcting the headshell wiring cured the problem.
