Yes I have downloaded the manual and yes I am competent at setting up
T/Ts.

So just a brief question to clarify one point please.

In the manual it alludes to the arm dampener as if it is supposed to
remain in contact with the arm while playing. Is this so? Or does it
only contact the arm when the lift is engaged?

The problem is I can't seem to adjust the lift mechanism low enough to
clear the arm when the stylus is in contact with the record. BTW cart is
a Shure V15V.

**Nice cartridge. It deserves a better arm than the SME. Having said that,
damping the V15V is not really necessary. The damping system is there to
counteract the crappy bearings of the SME, when used with MC carts. These
comments do not apply to the SME V, which is a stunning tone arm.
