VTA on the fly is ok, works perfectly fine on my SME V, small changes will not affect overhang or VTF, SRA is more sensitive with VTF.
VTA on the fly
Of the four tonearms I own, they all have VTA on the fly. Several months ago I had a small club meeting at my house for Classical music with LP's.
Now this is really interesting, one of the attendees claims to have a 30,000 LP record collection. This gentleman in his mid 70's is very familiar with the Boston Symphony Hall and orchestra. When I played a Boston Symphony record that he brought, he claimed there should be more bass. While the record was playing I turned the micrometer one half turn clockwise, and there was according to him the right amount of bass. He then asked me what I did, because he seemed startled, and had no idea.
Think of it, an audiophile that loves and has been playing LP's for over fifty years, but had no idea of the advantages of VTA on the fly.
