Have you ever tried to adjust VTA actually "on the fly"?

Posted by Lew on March 21, 2017 at 06:58:16:
Several of my tonearms lay claim to that feature, but I wouldn't dare try to adjust VTA while playing an LP; none of them "stay still" while you crank the pivot up or down, no matter how carefully you do it. Nor do I really think it's necessary to be able to do it. For me, it's sufficient that the tonearm has a precise, repeatable mechanism for setting VTA, not the old set screw method. I guess my point is whether there is a significant difference between the 1200G tonearm and the VPI 3D, given that I would always stop play and lift the stylus off the LP while making an adjustment to VTA. The VPI 3D is probably a better tonearm, for other reasons, however.
