I love my Kuzma 4-Point and its VTA tower and locking device work beautifully, but the lines marked on the micrometer tower are not easy to see/read. It would be a dream if I could mark the tower for 150, 180, and 200 grams. Another problem is that my turntable is in a separate room from the listening room so dialing it in is very time consuming. Mine is set for 180 gram records and I play a lot of 180's, but over the last ten years since Classic Records and now Chad pressing 200 gram, I play a LOT of 200 gram records, along with a lot of oldies on thinner records. Stay Safe, stay home. Hard for a guy who has been working 14/14 offshore for the last 24 years. Peace................
VTA on the fly
Of the four tonearms I own, they all have VTA on the fly. Several months ago I had a small club meeting at my house for Classical music with LP's.
Now this is really interesting, one of the attendees claims to have a 30,000 LP record collection. This gentleman in his mid 70's is very familiar with the Boston Symphony Hall and orchestra. When I played a Boston Symphony record that he brought, he claimed there should be more bass. While the record was playing I turned the micrometer one half turn clockwise, and there was according to him the right amount of bass. He then asked me what I did, because he seemed startled, and had no idea.
Think of it, an audiophile that loves and has been playing LP's for over fifty years, but had no idea of the advantages of VTA on the fly.
