I apologize for the way I worded my statement. What I meant was that there is no reason why you would know that ASL is particularly unresponsive to consumers. One would naturally assume some sort of complaint to a dist. would be worthwhile, but in this case, its not worth the trouble to dial.
My first TT was an NA. Before I set it up, I learned about how to set it up, so I did not have any problems with the instructions. The "manuals" are cheap, but good enough. Knowing what VTA is makes how to adjust it clear, seriously w/ no snobbiness.
My post was geared so Mythtrip would have to bridge the gap from theoretical to setup with the intent of encouraging a deeper knowledge of what is going on with TT setup. And when one finds that VTA is related to the angle of the arm tube, it is obvious how to adjust this on the Spacedeck. If one has to routinely ask setup questions, I doubt the TT will be optimally setup. Its easier and better for good setup to just click over the AA FAQ and learn what's what.
"(what's wrong with learning by doing?)."
With out some knowledge base in setup, learning by doing takes forever and could lead to costly errors.
I can be elitist, but I am not an anolog elitist. I am not even in the frat. If this post has perturbed or insulted anyone, please chalk it up to my eliteness. No offense meant.
