and to balance the tonearm, i turned the ring around the place where the tonearm attaches, and lifted the height.... and now whenever i lift the needle off of the record, and i close the cover, it bumps the needle cos i've got it up so high... so i've got the tracking force at 4 grams, but i don't know how high to set the height. any suggestions? i'm just using the rubber mat, not a slipmat.
