Leveling your turntable, your approach?

Not satisfied still with the sound from my TT setup, I decided to revisit the leveling situation. I discovered it was fine side to side, it was slightly low in the back, by 1mm or so. However, I thought why not tackle the levelness as it effects the arc of the cartridge with an actual record on the platter. A whole new issue was presented as my 5" Empire spirit level spanned from label to rim of several records to dial in a new dead level as the stylus would ride. Have I reinvented the wheel on leveling, or is this a novel approach, Cheers, BR

I use a 'audiophile' bubble level which was precision machined for high accuracy, so I trust the readings.

However, I get different readings on the plinth vs the platter, and different readings at different spots on the platter. So, I decided it was where the stylus meets the record that mattered the most and I level it at the center of the stylus sweep.
