So, I buy a Phantom and put my cartridge on using the new and inproved Graham jig (vs. the orig. G-2.2 jig) and presto, glorious sound, never heard bettter in my system. Then I added a headshell spacer to gain added VTA adjustment and all seemed fine, then it started sounding a bit "off". So I found to my dismay that the nylon cartridge screws had loosened and I could twist the cartridge. So removing them and replacing with SS screws I can't get the cartridge to sound nearly as good as I did before. R channel distortion, end of side distortion, no matter how I adjust the cart. using the jig I can't get it any better sounding. So, now I am second and third guessing my approach to using the jig itself.
To those of you that use it, how do you sight the jig to make sure that your viewing it dead on center? Any head tilt or off center viewing L vs. R throws my whole allignment off. Should I use one or both eyes? Currently I am trying the single dominant eye with a loupe lens but I am having trouble gauging when I am actually viewing it "centered". I'm starting to have PTCAD, post traumatic cartridge allignment disorder!
