Rubber Washer VPI Scout

They mention that the table should be level but with the rubber washer around the spindle the record will not be level and pitched away from the spindle no matter how much you crank down on it. Would it make more sense to level the plinth where the tonearm is located?

tzh2ly,
I think that one reason you still want to level the table is because of the inverted bearing design. By leveling it you are insuring the platter rides on the ball bearing and the sides of the bearing tube have no pressure on the spindle part of the bearing. Envision tilting the table to 45 degrees and running it. The bearing tube would be scraping on the spindle that contains the ball bearing on top. Make sense?

Hopefully they the two are level at the same time. Are you seeing a difference?
