VTA Cartridge

Dear @audiosens : What are you trying to achieve? where or why do you have some doubts on your today cartridge/tonearm overall set-up?  I read that you have 40 years in audio that means you have more than enough experiences about but for your OP that's not exactly rigth.

"""   that it is a way to have a good VTA ? """, certainly not because depends of the stylus shape and thickness of each LP and other factors and that's why I'm asking you those questions.

Dear @audiosens : VTA is a set up parameter that normally is made by listening tests, one and again till we are satisfied with what we are hearing in our room/system.

There are no universal rules, you have to listen through VTA tests evaluations using LP's tracks that you really know as your " hand's fingers ".

When VTA is ok the sound is just open with good tonal balance over the frequency ranges and everything is in focus very precise focus.

Normally if VTA tonearm talil is at a little high position the high frequencies are more prominent and the bass range could goes a little on the dull side and when the tonearm tail goes lower than the horizontal line happens the other way around so you only have " to play " with till you are satisfied with.

The only person that can judge about is you.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
