I have 35+ years of different models and slight changes that Harry made that I have to keep up with. I have been trying to standardize everything so current and future models will always be seamless. Actually I'm going to copy a part of the email I sent to Hiendmuse:
"Yes, the VTA towers were adjusted in their dimensions. From silver to black... of course this vital bit of information wasn't apparently important enough for Harry to share with me. (It isn't his fault he is doing the best he can to teach me everything.) Sometimes I like to think this is dad's way of forging me to run this company long term through fire and dropping little hand grenades for me. We can either change your VTA base which will make it so the side weights you have work, or we can shave the side weights on your current 3D arm down."
Also, we can avoid this problem when we are aware of the turntable model the 3D arm is going on. A lot of 3D arms that shipped out to dealers were for their own stocking purposes, which is an easy swap on the current models (the products dealers are stocking). On the bright side, you all can consider yourself pioneers in the journey to perfecting the setup and listening experience with the 3D arm :)
On a side note: Actusreus thank you VERY much for the kind words! I appreciate when people share constructive criticism but also love the positive reinforcement!
