VTA on a Triplanar

What VTA setting do most Triplanar owners use/recommend ? Appreciate that there are a host of subjective variables ie the cart, record thickness, VTF, listening preferences etc etc but I reckon there is an optimal range or reading on the scale of 1-11. From my experience with a Lyra Skala and VTF of 1.60 gm, a reading of around 5.5 on the VTA cylinder( taking the reading from the top of the silver cylinder in line with the vertical scale and NOT the horizontal line in the middle) appears most promising but am still learning and experimenting.
Would appreciate any comments/suggestions.
Cheers

Many thanks appreciate the advice. I guess there are no shortcuts but a slow trial and error process. I think I am getting frustrated coz the VTA that works, for example with female vocals is less than good with blues or rock. May be I should stop looking for an ideal setting...simply level the tonearm...and enjoy the music...except that when I enjoy the music there is that little devil that keeps telling me that it could sound better and off I go again...almost wish I had stuck to the Rega RB 1000!!
I am sure I will get there eventually.
Happy listening

Thank you for some excellent advice.suThe cart has been set up with a MintLP etc.I guess I have been far away from a blissful state of mind for too long and that does'nt really help VTA or anything else.Wow what a fantastic system you have!!

Would have appreciated your tongue in cheek more if I had'nt forked out 4.7k! Did we exchange notes on an CJ pre many moons ago?
Cheers and Happy listening
