Try increasing the VTA. My first table was setup by a pro and VTA was set to high for my taste!!!
I just started up my new turntable
and everything sounds great except I am not getting the extension on the upper end. I have heard cartridges sound bright before they've been broken in but not dark. VPI Classic turntabe with Ortofon a90 cartridge. I have about an hour of playing time. Table was set up by a pro.
