VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) Adjustment

 

It is assumed you have got the spindle at roughly  
the right height (see Page B Step 4) 
Twist the knurled dial anticlockwise to wind the  
‘fork’ down till it touches the mounting plate.

Using the Vibration Shunt

Your Wand Master Series 

has been provided with a Vibration Shunt.  
While this may also be seen as an ‘arm damper’ the  
thought behind this naming is that this is designed to 
‘shunt’ vibrations from the arm using a silicone oil trough. 
Using this is system and taste dependent, it may be  
easily raised and lowered.  
.  
 

Step 1; Fill

 Start using the lower viscosity (smaller  

number), fill to 2/3 the depth of the trough. 
 

 
Step 2; Engaging the Vibration Shunt. 

With the arm 

in place, raise the trough by turning the knurled dial  
clockwise. Raise it till the threaded rod on the  
underside of the arm is just in the silicone. Listen!

    

 

To disengage, just wind the trough down. Once you  
have  found a position you like, the trough may be  
locked in place using the lock nut on the inside end.  
 
If you want to change oil (or remove it) use a cotton  
bud and paper towel.
