Well I can and did, I believe, as far as my P2 is concerned.

Then you'll surely like mine, cos its the older one with the glass platter (glued motor, not suspended), and RB-250.

Well, I didn't have a choice there really. First off, it didn't look like it needed adjustment, the body of the cart. (ie. similar to Goldring 1042) is beefy enough to keep the tonearm parallel. Secondly, as I mentioned in my 1st msg, if the VTA needs adjusting at all, it would be downward a tiny bit. That is of course impossible, you can only raise VTA with the RB250 through the use of shims (which I dont actually have anyway, but...).
