MH MMF-7 seems high/lean/bright sounding?

I have a new MH MMF-7 with stock cartridge and musical surroundings phono pre and kimber hero cables. (maybe 10 hours of play?) The soound is kinda lean? I used a sure stylus guage to set the cartridge and did level it....ie platter and not just the one on it. Am I missing some adjustments? It was set at the factory. Any help? Sorry, I am new to vinyl and this forum. So I assume this has come up before......but I can't find it. Any table tips would be great!

The VTF for the supplied cartridge should be factory set. The Shure vtf (vertical tracking force) stylus gauge is a good one. Set your cartridge the recommended vtf.
Then as you say wait till the cartridge breaks in. Then just adjust your vtf slightly up and down from your reference while listening to some well recorder music that you are familiar with to fine tune it.

adjusting vtf will change vta, although be it slightly.
