Tonearm adjustments on the fly

Right you are. Think we can have rhodes add phonetically sensible to the list?

Erudition elevated. Check. Thanks!

Oh, sorry, there is one thing I did miss that should be fixed. The two things you want in an arm are VTA on the fly and a hard wired integral phono lead. Cartridge output is the faintest in all of audio. The last thing you want is a delicate signal going through a lot of connections. So hard wired phono lead, no detachable arm wands or head shells. 

VTA and SRA are different technically, and in audio you will find incredibly tedious and impressively pedantic polemics explaining in excruciating detail why they are not the same. Functionally however when you adjust VTA you adjust SRA, and vice versa. One more thing people who understand a lot less than they think love to throw at noobs to keep them from leapfrogging them, something you will have no problem whatsoever doing, provided only you listen to me and not them.

This is all so freaking simple you have no idea. Nor will you, not for many years (if even then), if you keep on reading drivel like what you pasted above. The problem with that kind of stuff, it takes me ten pages to explain why you should never have read it in the first place. Ten pages that could have been spent going forward instead of correcting mistakes from the past.

Every manufacturer making everything, no matter what it is, they constantly choose between performance and other values like convenience and features. You want a lot of features, be prepared to spend big time, and probably never get the performance you would get for less if only you could realize those features just aren't that big a deal.

Get on the fly VTA, and call it good. 

By the way am I the only one who sees "easy adjustments of VTA, SRA, azimuth, and such" and thinks, "This guy doesn't know VTA and SRA are the same adjustment"? And such. Just get VTA. Eventually when you've figured it out you will thank me.
