I need TT help also....

I agree with the cartridge loading aspects, mentioned above. An incorrect loading setting will have dramatic affects to the sound. Also, as mentioned, check the cartridge wiring. I wouldn't be too concerned with the VTA, it is probably set pretty close. Good luck!

I have not found that cartridge loading has a dramatic effect on the sound, but that may well be cartridge-dependent.

Interesting. I also think it must be cartridge dependent. I have read some reviews where the loading didn't seem to make that much of a difference, but with my Clearaudio cartridges incorrect loading made a tremendous difference.
