2015年1月3日 · VTA adjustment is much more important to the sound than any exotic arm material and expensive wiring, IMO. Strangely enough many, including Rega (despite the fact that they offer different spacers as an accessory) officialy claims that VTA adjustment is useless, and many people believes that and wonders why the new thick 180 gr. vinyl sounds ...

2021年12月22日 · You're fine. Per Fluance manual, "The standard VTA for turntables is between 20° and 30°. Fluance turntables do not have an adjustable tonearm height so it is important to select a cartridge with a height close to the height of the original cartridge (17mm)." Also, for the RT85, "supported cartridge weight: 5.o to 7.5 grams".

2008年6月11日 · VTA is sometimes referred to as SRA (stylus rake angle). The "geometric goal" when setting VTA is to have the stylus rake the groove at the same angle as the cutting tool cut the master. As a rule of thumb, start with the tonearm parallel to the record surface in setting VTA and then zero in on the right setting by listening as you try higher ...

2018年12月18日 · Just a note that VTA is the angle of the cantilever that should match the cutting angle. This is a factor that is independent on the type of stylus tip. A mismatch gives harmonic distortion and intermodulation distortion. The corresponding lateral tracking angle is …

2019年6月2日 · Different cartridges and different stylus shapes react quite a bit differently to VTA changes. Three of my favorite cartridges require a certain VTA setting of level +1/2 mm to sound their best. Lowering or raising them by 1 mm or so changes the sound unacceptably. One cartridge I had wasn't finicky at all with VTA and sounded the same +/- 2mm .

2021年1月16日 · When the VTA is set according to TT manufactures recommendation (tonearm parallel to platter) the STR should sync, that's the idea of it. The only way I could get correct VTA using a 15mm cart fitted to stock headshell without increasing mat thickness was to fit a 2mm shim between cart and headshell and still my tonearm VTA adjustment feature ...

2009年9月4日 · Some thoughts: 1. It is important to remember that, when audiophiles say the starting point for VTA is with the tonearm parallel to the platter, this implicitly assumes that the top of the cartridge is truly parallel to the tonearm (which is not always true) and that the VTA/SRA is designed to be set with the top of the cartridge parallel to the platter (which is not always true).

2020年9月14日 · Detailed explanation why changing VTA impacts VTF on JMW-9 and therefore also impacts the digital force gauge read-out. Most people set up their turntables by initially starting with a level tonearm. In the above notes I refer to …

2004年1月20日 · vta is very important A direct quote from an Ortofon Test Record I have:: If the cartridge slopes down at the back, so that the angle between the stylus and the record is too small, there tends to be a woolliness in the bass and the voice.

2019年5月22日 · For the 680EL, IIRC the older models from the early 70s and such recommended a 15 degree VTA while the later ones recommended a 20 degree VTA. I use a acrylic block to measure VTA - you can buy one on ebay or Amazon for about 10-15 dollars. Some folks use an index card, adjust by ear, or use a test record and measure IMD.
