Can you just set it up and forget?
Maybe drink more Lagunitas IPA?
IMHO, VTA is not a good thing to have. But then, I don't roll cartridges. Set it up once, be nice with the table, play music and drink enough beer to be happy but not drop the cartridge.
@Zen Mod : Denon DL103, a sixty year old cartridge for a sixty year old turntable.
My turntable is only 40 years old! BTW, the Ortofon is pretty robust for those of us who drink beer.
Had some vodka martinis one day and actually bent the cantilever on a Grado a few years ago... I honestly don't remember..... martinis should be reserved for digital listening.... Anyhow, always thought the soundstage was a bit bent to the right... but my tube preamp had a balance control then one of my audiophile friends ( I don't have many... audiophile that is.... ) did mention that indeed sounded off to the right.
Yea... one of the nice things about the Iron Pre Bal is that you get Left and Right gain controls.

A LOT. A REAL WHOLE LOT.
At some point you can't afford to drink so much beer and have to bite the bullet.
@Zen Mod I bought some used Sinatra and Tom Jones records a while back... from the early 60s. Live at the Sands with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra.
It just sounds more groovy with 40 year old equipment.
Do you know that Tom Jones can sign four autographs in the same time that Engelbert Humperdinck signs just one?
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry
I wanna die

It is very important that your gear is aged at the same pace and grace as your ears.don't you worry ............ I'm listening just 60 years old vinyl
Reading that much concerning TT... now I set up my TT again, with the Nagaoka MP-500...
Could be a long evening 🤔
