I think that obsessively fussing with things like VTA for each record is one of the reasons I now mostly listen to Tidal and only use my vinyl for select music. In other words, after a while I noticed I was fiddling more with the rig and listening less to the music.
Thoughts on VTA......
I have read countless posts where members are spending hours on exacting setup of their VTA with varying levels of tools.
Then there is another camp who set by ear.
My thoughts/questions on this subject arise from vinyl thickness difference.
Surely going from a flimsy flier early 70,s vinyl to a later 180 or even 200gm issue is going to change that painstakingly set VTA considerably.
So thoughts rattling round is why go to all that trouble when it IS going to change depending on the vinyl played?
To my mind it would appear that one of the arms that includes on the fly VTA adjustment would be the answer.
Your opinions or suggestions?
