VPI ARIES and Lyra Helikon SL
Hi,
Has anyone out there set up a VPI Aries, Graham Tone Arm, and Lyra Helikon SL? WHat was the break in time? How was the VTA set? Did you track heavy or light? I set the tracking to the maximum for the cartridge and the VTA to neutral (not tip up or down) and the sound is distorted. Any suggestions? This is a new cartridge set up and all the equipment is working fine.
