Thanks guys. I found the bolt and adjusted the vta last night. I will continue to play with it until I think I have the best sound during playback. It is very difficult to set the vta perfectly, as even with the arm parallel to the record surface, the cartridge needle may not be optimally aligned in the record groove. I tried to look at it with a magnifying glass, and it is still hard to tell where the optimal setting is. I guess I'll just keep playing with it until my ears think it sounds best. Just as a note, I was comparing lp vs cd last night with rickie lee jones girl at her volcano and my wife said the lp sounded brighter. To me, it was more dynamic. Not too bad for an old vinyl set up vs. a damned good cd/dvd player (muse model 10). I think I'm going to be rehooked on vinyl!
