Hi Dreadhead,
Can you let me know what you mean by "more issues down the road"? I always adjust the arm height for albums with different thicknesses. Will my adjustments have adverse consequences over the long run? I have not really given it a thought before reading this thread.
I have found it can take almost two full knob rotations to get the sound I like when going from a modern 180g record to one of my thin 80's LPs. I make the major adjustment before cuing up the album - then I do fine adjustments to the point where I hear good balance, clarity and (in most cases) hear reverb in the singer's voice. Since I do it all the time it only takes a few seconds to pretty much zero in on the sound I want.
If I leave the arm adjusted for 180g LPs the thin LPs sound really dull - no depth at all. By the way, I usually end up with a tail-up position.
