Using the VPI threaded clamp and azimuth change
The VPI method of setting azimuth will allow you to realize about 85% of the cartridge's potential. Most people are satisfied with 85%. For those who want the last 15% of performance, you need to fine tune the azimuth setting by ear as most diamon...

My cartridge has .3mV and I have a total of 75db of gain and I have more than enough gain to drive my amps.

Cardas Hexlink Golden Five : IC with RCA
Yes, sounds like a very long phono cable. I would take a picture of the cable and send it to Cardas and ask for their comments. I never seen or heard of Hex5C with a grounding wire, but you never know. 
Upgrade from a Cary SLI-80 integrated amp
The KT88 will give you more bass when compared to your TS 6550, but you might be giving up other sonic benefits of the TS 6550. In addition, the ultralinear setting will also give you more bass compared to the triode setting. 
Using the VPI threaded clamp and azimuth change
Using an angle protractor only assumes that the diamond is "perfectly" aligned on the cantilever. Setting the head shell parallel to the record surface is a starting point, not necessarily the end result. Trust your ears.

Using the VPI threaded clamp and azimuth change
Place the record on the platter, screw down the clamp and set the azimuth by ear. I would not worry about the perceived "dishing" as it is so minute that I doubt that the azimuth between clamp on and clamp off is negligible.

Change the rake angle of the speaker by tilting them back a few degrees.

What did Vpi do to correct the problem? 
HI, VPI Classic 4 is it a great upgrade from 1
Your dealer is misinformed, call VPI directly for clarification as the Classic 3 with a 12.7 is not a "standard" offering. My local dealer has ordered this combo for a couple of their customers.I agree that a Classic 4 with only 1 arm would be a b... 
VPI and TTWeights for VPI Classic 3
Stefanno, what you have is a VPI centre weight. It uses mass instead of a thread drive system to create pressure on the album. The VPI centre weight does not use the rubber washer; it is designed to be used in conjunction with the periphery ring.
