SRA or VTA After Cartridge Breakin


So after 310 hours I am sure my suspension on my cartridge is broken in, so my question is does the SRA or VTA change once the suspension on a cartridge is broken in? If so in which direction, such as is the rear of the the tonearm raised or lowered by this suspension break in?

Dear @mijostyn :  Agree to disagree a little. Yes, sensory adaptation is the name of the game on several audio issues like comparison between digital vs analog or SS vs tubes or MM vs LOMC and the like.

Now, a new cartridge has its suspension " virgen " and after some playing hours that suspension settle down a little and that's why we have to make a fine tunning cartridge/tonearm parameters..

I own 4-5 VDH Colibri cartridges and the designer always gives something that where I have first hand experiences and is that after around 300 hour playing the Colibri we send free of charge ( only shipping. ) to VDH for they make a fine tunning overall cartridge and every time I did it and not for that " sensory adaptation " or by the hope that things should be better always the Colibri performs really better and I have a overall bullet proof self tests to corroborate it.

The OP only have to make a chechk up in his cartridge of all the alignment cartridge/tonearm parameters and for the VTA it's only to make tests raising and lowering the tonearm till by his ears he find out what he likes the more and that's all.
