This is simply the difference between 1.0g and 1.8g of tracking force. Although I have no way to verify those values without an accurate tracking guage. I'm sure you all could guess which is which.

BTW, initial needledrop impulse is the dead-giveaway.

I thought someone already said increased VTF at the beginning.

1 is a little mid forward.  2 has more bass.  Makes the soundstage in 1 sound more forward, singer and sax is more up front.

As for what you did I am going to guess a downwards VTA adjustment which also slightly increased VTF.


Hence the partial credit.

Oh OK. I misread Chris's comments by skimming / misinterpreted your comments as completely discounting VTF. That what happens you when force every comment into a super gay spoiler box.
