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.

Try not using the anti skating weight. I have a Pro-ject 9 and it sounds way better without that weight. I'm using a Dynavector 20XH to a Musical Fidelity phono stage.. Try checking if the table is balanced. I feel if the table is set up right you won't need the anti skate. It could be the VTA or your cartridge is to light on the record or both.
Just so you know, nothings wrong with my Pro-ject 9. I have got it all down right and sounding good. Thanks for everyone's help.
