designed for the purpose of precisely calibrating the VTA are available. If you do not have such a record
we feel that the method we describe below will allow you to obtain very satisfactory and reliable results.
BEWARE: Do not loosen the set screw holding
the tonearm support bracket to the pivot shaft!
The VTA adjustment set screw is located on the
right-hand side of the flange holding the pivot
shaft from under the plinth. See pictures below.
-
Install a record on the platter
-
Install the record clamp.
-
Lower the stylus on the record surface and check if the tonearm tube is parallel to the record
surface.
-
Before adjusting the VTA, lightly cue up the tonearm and set it in the armrest to avoid any
damage to the phono cartridge
-
Use the 7/32” Allen wrench to loosen the VTA set screw that holds the pivot shaft. It is located on
the right-
hand side of the bottom tonearm mounting flange at the 3 o’clock position.
-
Move the pivot shaft up or down. The whole cueing and armrest bracket assembly will move
along vertically. This is normal.
-
Adjust the height of the rear of the tonearm until the tube is parallel to the record surface when
the stylus is resting on the record. Once you are satisfied with the VTA calibration secure the set
screw firmly using the long section of the Allen wrench as a lever to firmly secure the set screw.
