Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy


I have a question about how close the bottom of my Ortofon Cadenza Bronze is to the surface of the record. I’m using a VPI prime signature with the fatboy gimbal arm. I have used a Wally reference jig to perfectly set the arm level to the platter. After mounting the cartridge there is barely a gap between the record surface and the cartridge body. Is this normal? It’s not rubbing.

Not sure why anyone would play a warped record at 45 RPM on a $2,000 cartridge but maybe that's just me.  I have used a Cadenza Bronze on my VPI Prime (standard arm) for 2 years and play exclusively older records from the 50s-60s and never had a problem.
