Re: heat shrink on the tonearm

I reset the VTF with a Shure scale after adding the heat shrink. I had no problem hitting the target VTF. If you are having trouble with VTF adjustments, make sure that the bearing adjustment screws on the pivot are tightened just enough to prevent free play, but not so much that they restrict movement and true VTF readings. (I made this mistake once.)

If you don't like the sound after the heat shrink is placed, you can carefully cut it off with a razor blade/utility blade. It does not bind to the arm and will just peel away.
