setting azimuth on VPI turntables

When attaching the test leads do they go pos to pos and neg to neg at the amp output terminals? Is it ok to leave the speakers hooked up? After you got the channels balanced did you use the VPI rod to see how close to level you are now?Thanks,Mike

Valhalla interconnects - recommended?

Valhalla interconnects - recommended?
