I downloaded a pdf protractor, printed it, then scribed a line at the 2 degree mark, I then cut it precisely with a lever arm paper cutter to get a straight 2 degree edge. I used an old beat up but straigh vinyl record placed it on the turntable, held the bottom edge of the on the vinyl surface, drpped the tonearm down in a groove, then drpped the arm till the other edge was in line with the front verticle edge of the cart. My arm on my MMF 5 was adjusted almost to the bottom of its travel about 6 playing cards from the bottom to reach this 2 degree mark. This 2 degrees is what grado reccomends and measuring from the front verticle edge of the cart is also there recomendation. I dont think i have ever dropped the arm this far in the past for my other carts, but 2 degrees is 2 degrees.
I have to run but i will describe the sound later when i return
