VTA at last

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Well I got it done at last. VTA adjuster fitted on the RB 250, rubber o rings under the arm plate and under the allen bolts of the Gyro.
For the first time I can have the arm slightly uphill from bearings to headshell.
Initial impressions after Muddy Waters - 'Hard Again', Love and Money - 'Strange Kind of Love' and Everything but the Girl - 'Idlewind' are that another step towards 'perfect' replay has been made. Sparation of instruments seems better, soundstage deeper & wider but most impressive is that sibilance and general groove distortion (which was pretty low anyway) now seems virtually non existant. Fantastic detail & lifelike sound with mellifluous presentation ! Lower that arm tube a smidgeon below horizontal lads!
