My DL-103R has 15-degrees VTA.... - John Elison 11:58:36 09/17/06 (2)

Yeah, looks defective to me too. :-) (nt) - Garth 12:58:43 09/17/06 (1)

if you change the vta won't the Cartridge angle change - OMalley 17:13:54 09/16/06 (6)

Yes, but the SRA won't change unless you have something other than a spherical stylus..... - John Elison 17:42:59 09/16/06 (5)

they don't sound good without a stylus? - OMalley 05:46:28 09/16/06 (3)
