I've found that a good recording reveals itself without much fanfare.

Can you tame the highs or lows with VTA, of course, but if they're way off, no amount of VTA adjustment will save them.

It doesn't take state of the art equipment to reveal the really great records. The same records I've raved about since I first got into this obby with a TD160 and a B&K preamp with a Van Alstine Dyna 120 amp, sounded great with my Marantz integrated and the Thorens, or the VPI HW19 Mk. 1 with the B&K and Van Alstine.

Yes, more information can be dug from the grooves with paying strict attention to every detail. I just want to hear music issuing forth from my gear...well recorded, fabulous, not so well recorded? Well that's fabulous many times, too. More info and better sound over all with strict attention to VTA is work I don't have time for, I need to listen to more records.

The point I'm trying to make is that obsessiveness is important to the obsessive. AND, that in certain situations, such as your quest for a great CDR, it's fine.

For me, however, I can't say I don't get obsessive with VTA from time to time. As I wrote earlier, I just get to a point where I say "the hell with it, play another record, Mike."
