" Then there is the impact of tracking force on VTA/SRA, thickness of the TT mat and its impact, thickness of the LP to be played... etc. :-)"

Indeed, indeed...

I have to say that I am sceptical enough to believe that Roy Gandy's mantra of rigidity over all resulting in no VTA adjustment ( beyond using shims - which is not greatly practical given that the arm has to be demounted to fit them), stems not from engineering theory but from economic necessity.

Given that the original Rega arm was very much built to a price I believe that Gandy simply could not figure how to make VTA adjustment that retained a realistic degree of rigidity at the pillar for the money. So rather than say that he couldn't do it he decided that it wasn't necessary. Believe me, a very British trait :-).
