5.3 Positioning the tonearm horizontally
Before adjusting the horizontal alignment of the tonearm, check the horizontal alignment or your
turntable first.
After correct horizontal adjustment of your turntable, loosen the two screws with an hex wrench #2
(Pic. 15) by about one turn.
By alternately tightening the screws, you can position the tonearm horizontally, in accordance with
the installed bubble level.

5.4 VTA-Adjustment
The Clearaudio linear gauge is suitable for adjusting the tonearm height, since it corresponds to
the thickness of a record and the linear track is marked.
Place the Clearaudio linear gauge through the existing hole on the turntable spindle and align it so
that it points toward the tonearm base.
Place the included Mini Level Gauge on the headshell (Pic. 16; page 12), and by lowering the lift, the
VTA setting can be checked and readjusted if necessary.
Proceed as follows
• If using the clamping ring / a tonearm base:
Loosen the screw on the clamping ring / tonearm base and move the tonearm in the appropriate
direction until the bubble of the Mini Level Gauge is centered in its housing.
•
If using the swing base:
Lift the top of the swing base and loosen the screws on the bottom of the swing base, then move
the tonearm in the appropriate direction until the bubble of the Mini Level Gauge is centred in its
housing.
Repeat this process until the desired alignment is achieved.
Fix this position and check it again.
To fix the VTA during further adjustment of the
TT5
, we recommend the use of the included
TT5
VTA clamp.
