Well, Jemsite recomends 2-3mm as a good starting point... Myself, I've got my Blazes maybe 3-4mm on my UV- I'd give you a firm measurement, but my guitar's at home and I'm not... FWIW, I've been told the TZ is happiest when it's set a little lower than normal - I never got it as high as 2-3mm, but I can confirm that in the 5mm+ range it was very open and organic.

It was too muddy before on the low strings, but as it went up, it cleared up yet the top strings got muddy? Weird, that's kinda unintuitive.
