LP12 Setup: Dead & Lifeless: Where's the air?

Picked up an LP12 from a fellow 'Goner this weekend and installed the Dynavector and proceeded to be underwhelmed :)

It sounds really dark and closed w/o any airiness on top.
Fiddled with the basics, and this basic dark, closed character did not change much at all.

Being a LP12 newbie I could certainly have my local dealer help with this (they are very good), but thought if there was something simple to fiddle with, I could affect a DIY style setup change.

Thoughts?

Sean nailed it -- I had incorrectly set the overhang.
Simple! That sure beats a trashed power supply...

Now this table has absolutely come alive with MUSIC -- it's always just one more track, one more disc ... much better!

... and just when I was thinking that I was just gonna hold on to the P25 and simplify my vinyl experience and not have to deal with this moody tweeky scottish thing ... :)

Thanks again everyone, the help is much appreciated.

Sean: Lugnut and I have been emailing, and I've got the setup manual printed out and ready to go -- he's been extremely helpful. I'm pretty happy to just have the thing in the ballpark - it was really bad initially.

I do think I'm going to have my Linn dealer give it a once over this time around while I'm still learning. As you said, I'm hoping there's more performance to be had.
