I use the SSCI. What determines which way(L/R) the CI should be moved when trying to tame sibalance?

Up to now, I just eyeball VTA and azimuth level.
When I have some time to burn, I may dust off the Feikert and try Baerwald alignment which compared to the VPI jig, shoves the cart forward.

The cart now has a couple more miles on it, and I can say comfortably, the ART 9 is in a different league compared to a couple of other carts I have used in the 1 K price point.
The OC9III, a fine cart in its own right, now sounds artificial.

At least in my system, a Benz Glider and Sumiko Blackbird both revealed their weaknesses
eventually.The ART 9 has yet to reveal any shortcomings,other than this sibalance issue.

I have a stellar period copy of Yes CTTE,the music is quite complex and gives any table a workout. The 9 handles the pipe organ section like a champ!

Buyers remorse was a concern since I was trying to convince myself to shell out another $700 for a Lyra Delos. Not anymore.
