on vpi classic, do you set up with or without the mat on the table, on without mat said 2.2g with the mat on it measure over 2.2 i think about 2.4g and bass is too heavy, with the mat i set it 2.1g , bass is just nice , just right weight, play on 120 to 180g so far so good. any suggestion. My phono on 40ohms. have not try moving higher yet.
With mine, I track at just shy of 2gm. about 1.97 or so. Now that all set-up parameters have been optimzed, I find 1000ohms sounds just right. Before that, 30ohms is what I used.
I primarily run a VAC PA 35.35, an EL 34 push-pull amp. Sometimes, I switch to a Plinius SA 100 MKIII, 100wpc solid-state, depending on what I'm listening to at the time. I don't feel the need to change cartridge loading when I change amps. The Plinius has better bottom end, and is better for very dynamic material.
