Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14?

@wrm57 I don't mean to worsen your nervosa.  But a couple things I've learned about VTA/SRA.  Mastering lathes that cut the lacquers or DMM discs are not "adjusted" to an industry standard.  Every record that is cut from a different lathe probably has a different ideal VTA. So if you are adjusting based on the record thickness you aren't likely to be actually preserving the correct VTA for a specific recording.  

Perhaps what you are actually hearing when you adjust your VTA for album thickness relates to preservation of azimuth?  As VTA changes, so does azimuth on most tone arms that are mounted with an overhang. 

@sksos Very excited to hear what you think of the CS. Port table.  A friend of mine sold his TechDas AFV for a TAT2M2 table and likes it very much. 

That is a fine list of excellent tonearms.  I think you might enjoy a discussion with Thom Mackris of Galibier Designs.  He knows (and sells) many of those arms and can give you an experienced opinion based on your preferences.  He helped me decide between a Schroeder arm and a Kuzma. Zero pressure to purchase too.

Glad you talked with Thom.  I was also thinking the 11" hybrid Kuzma he sells would sound amazing on a Technics setup.  Thom is also very good at getting tables drilled correctly for arm installation. 

Also very much agree with Mijostyn's points about the SmarTractor. Wally Skater and Wally Reference tools. I use them all the time. My USB scope is the typical Dino-Lite version.  With a good "stage" it gets the job do and I can reliably double check SRA. My Lyras, SoundSmiths, Ortofons and Koetsu have always been very close to 92 degrees when the Wally Reference sets the tonearm to parallel.

The Kuzma 4P9 VTA adjustment is very good but it is intended for set it and forget it.  Sounds like you are working through that!😎
