VPI 10.5i tonearm and VTA


Has anyone (especially the engineering types) out there ever measured the actual height change of the tonearm in millimeters as it relates to the per revolution adjustment of the VTA adjustment knob on the 10.5i arm?

Stltrains,

I agree 100% that it takes time and patience to dial in the VTA and VTF...and I have done that. I also have been playing with different turntable platter mats to see and hear the difference. One of the mats is the Funk Achromat and is exactly 3mm thick. I just thought that if someone new the height adjustment change to the VTA tower on the 10.5 it would make going back and forth between different mats of known thickness a little easier and
quicker...getting the cartridge at the previously known VTA sweet spot regardless of the mat thickness.

And to Pryso..I have been trying to call Mike at VPI for over a week now and the line is constantly busy. Business must be good.

Thanks,

Steve
