I have found that a lot of cartridges, for which the manufacturer suggests a "level" cartridge (body parallel to the record surface), actually sound better when adjusted as you have done(tail down).I know there are lots of theoretical material that shows that small changes can't possibly make much of a difference, but my own experience says otherwise. I can make quite small changes and the difference is quite significant. With a 9" Vector arm, a .3 millimeter change is very obvious. That is why I hate thick audiophile records. They never sound their best unless VTA is changed to account for the change in VTA.
