Joe,

Why is your Exact cart not attached with the 3 screws ? You prefered to use an other geometry than the Rega one ? From the comments I read on the web, most "advanced" users prefer the sound of the Rega setting to the classic ones (Baerwald...)...

Thanks guys! The bottom end from this tonearm is huge compared to the 3009 II! Even though it took me about 4 hrs from start to finish, this tonearm is a JOY to setup. VTA, HTA and VTF were a breeze to dial in.
