Thanks William.

That is exactly how the Vector VTA adjustment works. There is a set screw in the arm board holding the bearing portion. You loosen the set screw and now you can move the bearing portion relative to the arm board achieving a change in VTA. I do remember tightening the screw a bit. I will try to back off on it and see if that helps.

I agree that the Ruby should not be grainy. That has not been my experience with it till lately. The only thing I have done is to retube the Io with tubes supplied by Jim White. Jim used to use Sovteks in the phono and power supply. This time he sent me Sovtek, Teslovak, and EH. The EH are EL34's in the power supply. The Teslovak 12AX7's are in the the phono portion along with the Sovteks. I wonder if the Teslovak and EH are causing the grain and glare that I am hearing??

I am also picking up RF. (I did move my system to another corner in my room. It is now in front of a window.) I bet the RF is casuing some of the problem. I tried moving the cables from the arm to the Io but that did not help.
