VTA adjustment for VPI 10.5i tonearm


Do you get best results with the tonearm level with the platter, or with the rear of the arm higher or lower at the pivot? It's difficult to gauge levelness because of the tapered tonearm design. I'm using a Lyra Titan-i cartridge. Thanks!

From my limited experience I would say don't be afraid to make large adjustments up and/or down from level. A small change of say 1/16 of an inch at the rear of the arm will net almost no adjustment at the stylus. What sounds good to you might be beyond a "small" adjustment, such as moving the rear of the arm 1/4 inch (maybe more). I made the mistake in my system of too small of adjustments for a long time till I moved the arm a large amount and then found what I liked, for now.

Good luck,
Mike
