RE: Help with a tone arm problem

Posted by MylesJ on February 16, 2021 at 16:28:12:
PAR - I put on a different headshell that sat too low. I had to raise VTA to the maximum to clear the record. It wasn't high enough to sound good so I put back the other headshell and dropped the adjuster to the height it was before I made the change. I think I may have raised it too high which caused the problem.

Some of those arms have a manual lever for raising the arm and some have a sensor like the 770D that kills the power to the magnet that pushes up on the lift bar from under the plinth. It is spring loaded in the up position. You can't lower the tone arm if the power is not on. That raise/lower function still works properly.
