I’m fucking hilarious.
My alignment was dead on for both parts on the Baerwald protractor *thank god*
Buttttt
• My VTA was off, I was running tail down by a good bit.
• My tracking force was off by a couple grams
• And my left speaker was where my right speaker should’ve been and vise versa and I had the right grill on the left speaker and the left grill on the right speaker
So now sitting down and spinning a record and it would appear my records do indeed sound much better.
Just your yearly reminder to read your instruction manuals for speaker set up after a cross country move and stop eyeballing things like VTA
