Turntable leveling

something to also consider: is the tone arm level to your plinth. good idea to make sure both are true to each other so when you level the whole table everything is true to each other. Not such an issue with tables that have an arm mounted by the manufacturer, but if you've added another arm defiantly check that it is leveled to your plinth.

 I ran into this issue when assembling my Garrard, the Jelco arm (750L) as good as they are have terrible VTA Adjustment that can and does change the arm level to plinth when tightening the VTA Set screw. 

ahh...the complexities of vinyl! In my case I have a Moerch UP-4 arm on a VPI HW-19 turntable. Thoughts on absolute level or not worth the exacting effort for this rig? I have about 1000 vinyl records, mostly vintage (Shaded Dogs and others of that ilk), but each individual LP doesn't get played all that often.

Thanks in advance,Keith

@cleeds Slight exaggeration for effect. I have dialed in tiny adjustments though. I have a 1962 Julie Andrews record which responds to the tiniest change which snaps the vocal into pinpoint focus.

Cross check level at Home Depot $3.96

The old level-level saga...easily determined by placing the level on a surface, noting the reading, rotating the level 180 degrees and placing it on the exact same spot and again noting the reading. If the readings are the same...the level is level.
