Grado gold ....

Marc,

Problem solved! The lateral balance adjustment was the last piece to the puzzle. The Grado Gold sounds really good now!

Followed the steps to adjust the lateral weight for proper balance. Then set DTF for 1.65g

Actually, I am shocked at how much that lateral weight adjustment made a difference in sound from before. Considering that from it's original position, I moved it maybe a 1/8" left. Bass is now deeper, more pronounced. Less harsh on the highs and drum symbols...

The antiskate setting now is about the same setting as before for best sound.

It sounds great now, can only imagine what the sound difference will be when I change out the original RCA cable to the Petra's I bought on Amazon for cheap!

Glad I could be of help. As I stated before if the grado doesn't sound "right" it's usually telling on something else. Remember though if you change carts that are of different weight that what you have now, you will have to reset the lateral balance. A simple chart of measured distance can be made so swapping out different carts and headshells can be done quickly.
