Tony, I'm afraid VTA is usually adjusted by ear.If too low the highs will start to disappear,too high and your harmonic structure will be lean.Usually piano or small jazz ensembles work best,though drums aren't bad.Watch the transient edge definition alter as you move up and down.There will be a proper weighting, good detail and air when you are close.The final tuning will depend on your system and room. Good luck! Tom
Help setting up cartridge VTA
I have a question about what is the proper angle for the verticle tracking on a stylus? My turntable is a Sota Star Sapphire, the tonearm is a SME IV, and my cartridge is a Benz LO 4. I don't have any documentation for the cartridge and the tonearm, so I thought my analog friends here might help. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have adjusted the height of the tonearm a little and found that the results are impresive.
