| Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions Glai,Thanks for the advice. I re-did the overhang and zenith adjustments. They were out of alignment. This improved the Azimuth from 22db to 25db. 3db improvement is noteworthy.I will continue to adjust to maximize performance. That said, I am get... | |
