Thanks to all of you for your quick replies. I'm going to focus on the level arm tube for now and then play more with it later if time permits.

Rule of thumb for VTA
Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is a rule of thumb for setting VTA? Really what I'm looking for is a quick way to rough out the VTA. Should the arm be level when the stylus is in the groove? Should the arm be sloping downwawrd from the pivot toward the cartridge? The reverse?
I know that the right answer is to listen and judge for myself but I have a Rega P25 which apparently doesn't offer much in the way of VTA adjustment so I would like to find a simple approach to get it close.
Thanks in advance,
Phil
