That bites. I felt that MF did indicate the arm was basic in its VTA adjustment.
Quote:
"Locking and unlocking the collar-fixing screw and manually raising or lowering the pillar, which is unmarked for height, sets VTA/SRA. It's basic but super-rigid and the machining tolerances feel extremely precise: The pillar goes, in a hair-turn of the grub screw, from rock-solid secure to dropping like a pound and a half rock, so it pays to be cautious. (The extremely detailed, well-written manual says, "Be aware, that when opening the VTA locking screw, the arm might fall down." "Might"? Like London Bridge, it will!)"
When I read MF review I kind of lost trust on his reviews, how can MF not mention that tuning the tonearm is so incredibly brute.
