Just added full LP playback

@frozentundra,

Jeff,

All of my cabling is by Audio Envy. I am using their Prestige RCA interconnects between my TT, phono and Integrated. The cable has incredible low mass, capacitance of 4.2pF per foot. And a generic zip cord for grounding. I did order my phono cable from AE and expecting it early next week.

Kimber Kables are pretty good too :-)

Jeff, MC cartridges do not care about capacitance. That is a MM problem. But, it is always a good idea to use high quality cable with good connections. For turntables it is always best to keep the cable as short as possible. Kimber Kable makes excellent products. I use their speaker wire exclusively (but , what a royal PITA to terminate). 
I would set your tonearm so that the head shell mounting surface is perfectly parallel to the record surface. I use 180 gm records for this. With a well manufactured cartridge at the recommended VTF this should put the stylus rack angle at 92 degrees. As with tonearm resonance if you really want to know for sure what is going on you need the right tool to measure it. In this case a relatively inexpensive USB microscope and a plexiglass protractor will do the trick. 
Properly suspended and isolated turntables outperform fixed turntables in every way including bass. You can make any fixed turntable better just by placing it on a good isolation base. Good ones are very expensive so IMHO it is always best to start off with a good suspended table.  
Don't forget those screws!

I added a 2nd LP as .120 pad and raised( lowered) VTA by 4 degrees. ( audio advisors set to 92 degrees)
The bass was definitely, better 

Sibilance was worse , As I think I need to increase tracking force ! As next 



Anyway, I played my LP vs Roon and , yep , LP is light bass 

4 degrees is a hell of change for VTA 
I guess perfect alignment is not so critical, after all the conversations I’ve read 

I should have figured since all the alignment stuff is visual and subjective , with no Dial indicators and such 
I’ll keep playing , great suggestions

The actual compliance of the hana el/eh is:

Dynamic Compliance @ 10 Hz

17 * 10-6 cm/Dyne

It is a medium compliance cartridge. The resonance at 10 hz with a weight of approx 6-7 grams with hardware is @9 hz on a 13.5 gram arm. Can't get much better than that!

See links below, I rest my case.
