Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I added 30 grams to my OEM rb250 arm

and that brought the sound home for the DL-103. Sound is deep, full of all those tones and colors. At less weight the sound broke apart or rather was not cohesive. VTF is 2.5; at less VTF there was a small bit of breakup on certain records in certain places ... no more now.

There are no nasty anomlies whatsoever in this setup for me.

I can't talk about "what is supposed to be", only what is. There are a lot of post saying that the 12gram arm is just right. There are also many post contrary to that. The suspension on that cart is pretty rigid. I don't see it give at all when I set the needle down. The DL-160 gave a bit. The ADC gave in a lot. The DL-103 is stiff as a running board.
