Using the card is only used to get the arm level with the platter. This is a starting point. After you have your arm level and your catridge alligned and the tracking weight set, listen for a bit. Then lower the arm a bit, re-check everything and listen. If it's sounding better adjust down a bit more and repeat. If it sounded worse, raise the arm a bit, listen, see what you think (hear). Repeat.
This will take some trial and error, but that is how you learn and get the most from your rig.
