i think i might have got the one good Deepgroove subplatter you had so going with the Groovetracer is something I would do if I were going to buy these mods first timeout.I just read a good way to get VTA for cheap. Buy the finger nut and move the nut from under the table to top and use that as the VTA adjuster and the finger nut underneath to secure the arm. cheap at about $25 total. I am going to try that instead of adding the Michel adjuster, and before going to the VTAF.

....won't that royally mess up your VTA? As in, similar to using a 20 mm shim instead of 2mm?
you put the finger nut underneath the table as per usual but now you take taht left over big nut taht was securing the arm a minute ago, and use it topside as the VTA adjuster.
Anybody heard of one?Or a 3 mm shim? When I was really "into" VTA experimentation on my Rega P25, I wished for a 3mm thick shim. The 2 was sliiiiiiightly too wooly, the 4 was sliiiiiiightly too bright. But, either one was "OK."
a 2mm nut, that is.
When the finger nut comes in i will go buy a few 2 mm nuts of different composition and give them a try.i did have a look at the nut after Garth's past and it is thick enough to rob me of too many threads un the plinth.
Ultimately I can opt for the Michel VTAQ adjuster; It is cheap at around $50.
And on a P3 I doubt the threads will even be showing to put on the bottom nut underneath the plinth.
i have a 4mm spacer on their now and the nut is thicker than that so VTA will go up. There are threads showing under there now and the fingernut fits tight in the cutout under the plinth.i will try it when the finger nut comes in and see.
