Using the iPhone for setting VTA

Posted by mr_phillip (A) on August 10, 2012 at 02:00:51

So I've always struggled with setting VTA by eye. I used to use a grid printed on card that I sat behind the tonearm as a reference but, when it came to fitting the Cadenza this week I couldn't find the damn piece of paper anywhere. Then I got to thinking, isn't paper kinda retro? Couldn't I use my phone instead?

So here's a grid graphic that I made up at just the right resolution for the iPhone 4/4S. It's quite a handy solution, and even provides a useful backlight just to make things that little easier. Anyone interested can grab it from the link below.
