I added a new Sussurro to my table in January and have enjoyed it very much all year. Then recently, after seeing a notice on Analogue Corner from MF about a few WallyTraktors still being available, I ordered one to use with my Helius Omega arm. Wow. After just a few minutes (well maybe a half hour) of readjustment and suddenly the cart sounds WAY better. I've got the arm as low as I can with my setup and the arm is just a hair's breadth above horizontal. The VTF is 2.15 to compensate a bit for the slightly high arm and the SRA looks good in my scope. Yes, I did tweak the azimuth a bit by ear as well. At any rate, everything now sounds as I'd always hoped but thought wasn't quite possible with my equipment. Surface noise is nonexistent on most good vinyl and the soundstage is to die for now. And believe me I've spent many hours messing with everything from tweaks to amps trying to get to this place.
So yes, from my 40+ years' experience, these styli are indeed tricky to get aligned just right. but boy is it worth it!
