I have the TT fixed, and the shure cart is with me. I am ready to dive deep into cartridge adjustment. Looking forwards for all the help. Will update this first post to keep people updated.

Here goes the list of adjustments required, as per my little research:
1. VTF (sounds close to WTF) - this is the weight with which stylus presses the record. I have purchased SGF-2 stylus force gauge. I think I will adjust with the brush down. 1.5 gm weight??
2. overhang
3. alignment (aren't 2&3 same?) with protractors.
4. VTA - not sure how to do this on 1700. Seems impossible?
5. azimuth - no idea how to do this.
Last. Electrical stuff - as per what I read about this cart, 47k impedance may not give the best performance. The phono should has approx 65k impedance for best performance. I think this would come at the end of the exercise. Since it is a lyrita, I would request Viren to adjust this part.
Please add more. I think I shall start a new thread, as it may help others too to adjust cart.
