Fine tuning: Airy3 on DPS

I recently received my Schroder DPS arm and mounted my Airy 3 (LO). For those who have this combo:
a) anyone use damping as optionally indicated in the manual
b)where does VTA end up for best sound? Back slightly below horizontal? Any experience in fine tuning this combo appreciated. I have the ebony version, only 2 ever made.

That's good information, thanks!
I noticed how sensitive the Airy3 is to improper VTA.
The Schroder (on my Garrard 301) is very revealing and thus facilitates this dialing in.

Thanks for that guidance, Thom.
I find it hard to understand how the tightness of a counterweight grub screw can be so influential. But I shall try it asap.
Doug, what loading does the Airy prefer in your experience?
I currently am running 300 ohms, but maybe I should go down to 100.
