Phasemation cart on Technics


I recently got a Phasemation PP-500 and it’s fantastic. Part of the pulling trigger was something I read where Technics would demo the G with a Phasemation PP-2000. Given these are the same weight I figured it would work.

its sounds great and only 5 hours on it so far but I wonder if I set it up right. I used the jig and had to add the extra Technics weight to the arm as the cart is a little heavier. It’s listed at 8x10-6 whereas the outgoing cartridge is 10x10-6. 
 

I am eyeballing a heavier arm that’s said to be a great match with the PM carts.

as of now it seems like the lower mids are light though bass is punchy. 
 

Wondering what else I can do to help things.

thanks

@gochurchgo Yeah, sorry, aux weight too. The rest of the system consists of a Leben EL84 amp and Leben tube phono through Klipsch Forte IV speakers.

@oceanandmountains  very nice! I’m running Heresy IV’s and am considering the Leben. 
 

anyway, I have removed both weights and completely redid the arm/angle/tracking force etc. see if maybe I butter fingered something.

@gochurchgo As @lewm mentioned, the sound will change as the cartridge breaks in. Hopefully you like where you end up. Best of luck!

@gochurchgo I have overlooked the newness of your Cart' and do agree there is a period of Time Required to acclimatise the Damping/Tension Wire to the real world.

The Card Trick remains a decent methodology to fine tune VTA for another occasion.
