I've played with the VTA adjustemnt, it's a clamped sleeve so a bit difficult to get fine adjustments.
Interesting comments about the Ikeda designed arms, I've been looking at the IT407 and wondering whether I can find $3000, but I guess I can't, sob!
My phono stage uses the S&B Tx103 SUT which loads the cart with about 100ohms. The rest of the phono is a DIY valve stage using passive RIAA eq. I've not experimented with changing the cartridge loading.
Totally agree with comments about buying blind, hence the question here, I'm trying to use your's and others knowledge to improve my chances at getting a purchase more likely to suit me.
Dynavector DV507 looks interesting but seems to be rare as rocking horse manure.
Many thanks for the response.
