What's wrong with my ProJect 9.1?

I'm running a 9.1 with a Slee Era Gold V and Dynavector 10x5. I'm quite dissapointed in the sound - My cheap Cayin CDP sounds much better, while vinyl is lifeless, dull, highs are rolled off. I've tried my phono stage in my friend's system and it sounds fine, so by deduction the problem seems to be the cartridge or setup.

Does anyone know how to adjust the VTA of this table?
Are there any suggestions for other carts that will match this table and its carbon fiber arm? I'm thinking of moving up to a 20X but any other suggestions are welcome.

I've got a mmf 9, and I would imagine the vta adjustment would be the same for the 9.1. On the mmf 9, you adjust the vta by loosening the two (2) Allen screws on the back of the pillar that supports the tonearm. Instructions for doing so are contained on page 11 of the instruction manual that came with the TT. Check your manual to be sure it's the same.

BTW - - I've been totally satisfied with the sound/performance of the mmf 9 for the past (almost) 3 years - - - very fine "turnkey" TT at a good price.
