Try to make it level and parallel (equal height along the entire length of the tonearm)
 to the surface of the record on the platter. Then adjust up or down as needed.
It can be only done by trial and error. You will hear when it is right, the sound will be 'fuller'.

I usually start with the cartridge "tail down" and lift it up until that fuller sound becomes evident. In my experience most Ortofon and AT MMs perform best slightly tail down.

Happy Tweaking

Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

The Black can be a little strident too. It might be due to the silver plating which is known to add brightness, but if it hasn't got the sound balance the higher-up models have, it will tend to sound overly bright.



I found that the 2M Black could be bright and fatiguing so I ended up switching to the HANA SH.

Just need to get out the soldering Iron to make a 1K plug...
