In Reply to: RE: Have you ever tried to adjust VTA actually "on the fly"? posted by Lew on March 21, 2017 at 06:58:16
And it works great. I have two tonearms with VTA on the fly. One is a RB-300 mounted on a Riggle VTAF and the other is the new VPI 3D.The Riggle VTAF works but you have to take care when you adjust it during playback. The VPI Prime is a better implementation and seems to be impervious to any bad side effects when you adjust VTA. Nonetheless you always take care.
Most of the time I adjust the VTA just prior to spinning the LP. The advantage is I am familiar with my library and know which LPs sound best at which settings. I am somewhat anal about my LPs and I keep a maintenance log with each LP and some of them have notations for VTA settings.
For the ones that do not have VTA info, I adjust the VTA based on the weight of the vinyl.
Now that I have a new setup I have to update those VTA notations with the settings on the VPI 3D arm.

Somewhat?? Wow! I don't know how you do it. I barely have the patience to clean my lps. Changing VTAs for each record would put me over the edge. Needles to say, I guess you don't let anyone near your turntable.
Not much to worry about.
You make it sound like setting VTA is some big deal. It is harder to clean the stylus. Setting the VTA is no more than turning a knob next to the tonearm. It takes no more than 1 second.
