If you are comfortable with what your doing and feel its worth the extra effort and you hear an improvement then by all means carry on.
This thread reminds of a question I posed here awhile back, I was in the habit of moving my floor standing speakers each time I played an album to better the sound hitting my sweet spot. It of course was not a practical solution for listening and I took the advice of fellow members and abandoned this practice. I believe a quality set-up should just be that, set up and enjoy, with an adjustment now and then as needed. I don't remember how many stylus's I've accidentally destroyed in my obsessive fidgeting but anything more than one is too many. Take the advice of people much more savvy then me on this topic and let your combo do what you purchased it to do, effortlessly play your beloved vinyl while you sit back and enjoy.

What we are doing here is adjusting for the cartridge, not the tonearm. Lyras like to be parallel as well as many Linn cartridges. Moving magnets tend to like to be a little high in the back and most moving coils prefer a bit down in the back. If one doesn't have the capability to adjust while it is playing tend to state that it is not important. That is a self fulfilling prophecy. The difference is very easy to hear between 120 and 180 gram lps when adjusted properly for each, something I find very important.
