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

And now....

...lets hear from a manufacturer who's arms *do* include VTA adjustment. :)

As Scott says below, SRA is an important factor in cartridge alignment and VTA is merely a means to this end. Mr Gandy claims that any adjustment or change to the arm mounting will affect the sound but seems to be forgetting that many tonearms don't require you to remove them from the base board and put shims under them to change their height.

Many arms have simple to adjust, on the fly VTA adjustment which do not change the structural integrity of the arm one little bit. And yet the results are easy to hear - too high and the sound is too brittle, too low and it is too dull. It is not a myth or a neurosis - and it is a little insulting that he considers it to be so when the effects are so blatantly evident to anyone but the most undiscerning clothears! :D

And please tell me who came up with this ludicrous quote:

"Every problem has a solution. If there is no solution, there is no problem."

Whoever wrote this obviously never used Windows XP :)

Kind Regards,

Matt
