RB 300 VTA Tracking


How do you adjust the VTA on this arm, I am getting one shipped soon and I read in S'phile it has no adjustment on it? Thanks, I'm new to vinyl so I'm a rookie.

Pops,

You can use an "after-market" VTA adjustor (made by Incognito, Mitchell, Expressimo, etc.) or Rega sells some shims that come in 2mm and 4mm widths. I have an Incognito adjustor and lower nut for sale right now if you decide to go this route ;)

George: no problem!

Pops: Yes you do have to remove the tonearm, but it's not that difficult, especially with the optional lower nut... I had to adjust the VTA with my "new" Denon DL-103D cartridge and my Ringmat. If you want to adjust VTA for thicker records, I'd consider the Pete Riggle VTAF located here. I don't really have the patience to adjust VTA for each album, nor do I think that the difference will be that noticable on my setup... So, in my case, it was pretty much plug-and-play, but your mileage may vary... ;)
