If it sounds 'great', everything is ok?

G'day to all

Given that the listener has at least a good average hearing: If the sound quality from a record sounds 'great' to his ears, the various settings of the tone arm and cartridge (VTF, etc.) are correctly set.

Right or wrong?

Thanks for your inputs.

Cheers, eagledriver

though I also know people who were "happy" with their system's sound until they heard something they actually liked a lot more, and wasn't expensive...,so it's also very relative to knowing what your options actually are...so maybe it sounds great, but might sound "greater" if properly set up - either way, no worries...

my turntable sounds great too, but I regularly have a skilled friend with ALL the tools recalibrate it regularly (he enjoys doing this)...not sure if it sounds better, but technically it always needs some adjustment...I like knowing it's set up correctly...I did just use some maple dowel hole buttons as recommended by Pierre of Mapleshade, and things do sound better (at $9.99 for a bag of 50)...lots of tweaks are easy, fun and cost nothing...
