Viridian, thanks for your response but I really think that there is not a VTA adjustment on my arm. I believe the arm I have is an early model and the VTA adjustment was built into subsiquent "improved"arms. There are no verticle adjustment set screws anywhere on the shaft base that is attached to the armboard. Is that the area that I should be looking? So now what? I mean it is perfect for this cart. The arm is perfectly parallel when on the record.But at some point I might want to get a different cartridge. All advice and thoughts would be welcome.Thanks
Sumiko Premier MMT Arm VTA?
I have an AR ES–1 TT with a Sumiko Premier MMT arm with a Sure V–15V MR cartridge which is a good match with no VTA adjustment needed. This arm has no VTA adjustment but I have been told there is a conversion kit for my arm to upgrade to a VTA adjustable unit.Is this so and where can I get one? I might want to change cartridge types and would probably need to adjust the VTA. If not what are my options?(shims) Any suggestions or contact information would be helpful.Thanks
