What to listen for when setting VTF?


I've read that folks fine tune VTF by ear, so was curious what you listen for. How does more or less VTF affect sound? Thanks.

If the arm is to high in the back, the treble will be bright and could have "sibilance" if to high. Also, bass will be very thin and lightweight.

If the arm is to low, the treble will be recessed and light in detail. Bass will be "boomy" and bloated.

I agree with the starting point a little lower than level.
Sorry, as usual I can't read and/or comprehend. Below is a great link with info:
