Hmmm, I'd sooner just get another table in that case. But if the V-15 can yield good (or let's say notably better, compared to the current Ortofons) results with the standard Technics tonearm, I could put it on a separate headshell, and go with it or my DJ carts as called for, which would certainly be a plus on the convenience tip.

Bob's advice to start with the cartridge and move on from there sounds very good and reasonable to me, so I figure I'll begin with that and then ponder any further adjustments.

Thanks for the suggestions, Thermionic... I'll file them away for future consideration after completing step 1.

Peece,
