I have tried different VTA settings. I have lowered the back of the cart. The brightness does get less, but it is still an issue. I have also varied tracking force from 1.65g to 1.75g, with the lower force sounding better. I am not using any acoustic treatment. The brightness does improve after a few sides.
My guess at this point is that it is the Helikon, with the break in on the speaker contributing also. I have 30 hours on the cartridge. I guess I just need to play more sides for now and see what happens close to the 50 hour point.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
