I nearly drove myself nuts once trying to get the perfect setting for different record weights. I had to put the issue temporarily aside for the sake of my mental health! And then one day watched a newly arrived, badly warped record have my arm imitate the cart on a kiddie carnival rollercoaster "Wheeee!" up and down it went and I heard no fluctuation of tonality. Since that epiphany I haven't been too obsessive about VTA.
BTW I took a quick leisurely stroll through this thread as I hadn't really read any before my first post and there are some funny things written by the vinyl naysayers. The denials have become clichéd, tired, boring.
