RE: Does tonearm counter weight adjustment affect sound quality

I can't adjust VTA on my Rega. Reason of my question, is that all settings ( VTF, bias, & alignment are to Rega specs ) yet when I play some old records, my stylus sometimes skips, or even worse, on rare occasions, goes all the way to the outside of the record ( the wole arm moves ). When I apply more counter weight, this does not happen, but then stylus is not sitting free like (1mm over record like Rega recommends, when VTF & bias are set to 0).
