Great post Muzikmike

As many know I sold my original SOTA Comet / Alpha Genesis 1000II MC combo and went digital because of my compulsive nature. I was always adjusting the VTA and spent more time doing that than listening to music.

After dialing it in "perfectly" the first few times getting maximum Goosebumps and soaking in all the magically beautiful music I was hooked! After that no LP ever sounded "correct" and I was always going "up", "down", "up", "down" again and again. I would seem I would get close going one way and then overshoot and then back the other direction. It was driving me perfectly mad. I got so depressed with the whole affair I sold my turntable and all my LPs as I could get about 80% of the sound with HDCD's and they always sounded the same.

Well this time I promised myself NO VTA obsessiveness , I have left my Music Hall mmf-5 at the factory VTA setting. If I ever use a different brand of cartridge I will set it once and forget it, I hope! I am scarred to try another brand of cartridge through.

I love my LPs and I just want to play them, not twiddle with my turntable.
