By ear, and since I prefer original pressings to reissues I don’t worry about the 180 and 200 gram pressings. I just pick a few average thickness albums that have very complex music on that.
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?
