(but I still get some sibilance and harshness at loud peaksYou’re using a Rega 3? The arm has no VTA adjustment which is a challenge dialling in a cartridge with a fine profile. It sounds like it could go a tiny bit lower at the pillar end. You could try a shim above the cartridge.

Hey Guys and Gals,
I recently spent the much needed time to realign my cartridge (I ordered the AVID Rega Protractor) to find out I was way off BUT my records still sounded great, it wasn't until the inner grooves on most records became an issue. After realigning the cartridge things are soooo much better but not perfect. Is it possible I damaged the cartridge? I also last week upgraded my tube in my C220. Any thoughts?
