Jwglista: The MMf 5.1 as the bellari are un-familiar to me, anyway here are my thoughts about:
+++++ " The entire soundstage will sound evenly distributed until there is a part in the song with a lot of trebble (i.e. sibilance, cymbals, higher octaves of instruments, etc.) at which point the treble shifts slightly to the right. " +++++
Other than you make exactly what Newbee already posted ( on the VTF subject you could try to set-up at the upper VTF limit of your cartridge specs and obviously that the tonearm is flat leveled. ) ) is to check that the tonearm/headshell wires are connected in right way to the cartridge: red one with red cartridge pin, etc, etc, then check if the RCAs tonearm outputs coincide with those tonearm/headshell wires: red wire with right output signal, white one with left output signal, green one with right ground output, etc, etc.
Other than these could be on a cartridge out of target or something wrong on the Bellari.
Regards and enjoy the music.
