VPI Classic Azimuth Seems to Change -- Normal??

I own the VPI Classic with a Classic 3 wand upgrade. The Classic 3 wand is stainless steel and incorporates Valhalla silver wiring. My carty is the VPI Zephyr. My set-up is pretty straightforward.

Here's what I noticed. I was checking aziumth and some other settings. I'm pretty sure that the azimuth changed when I moved the arm to the inner tracks. It was pretty stable in the middle and outer tracks. It seems that the Valhalla wire in some way is twisting the arm causing the change. To try and minimize the effect, I tried not to twist the wire, but to little effect.

Any thoughts, comments or suggestions?

i have the same issue with my classic 1 with my azimuth swifting from one side to the other, and i also figured this by using a small japanese bubble level weighting 0.7 grams made for this purpose. the bubble level is placed on top of the headshell while stylus on a still record.

actually i also addressed this to mike n he has no firm answer to me too how this could happen..
