What to listen for when setting VTF?


I've read that folks fine tune VTF by ear, so was curious what you listen for. How does more or less VTF affect sound? Thanks.

VTF and VTA are interrelated variables. As you change one, it affects the other. Once dialed in, minor changes in VTA won't require readjusting VTF (thank goodness for those of us who change VTA for every LP). But changes in VTF always require a re-listen for correct VTA.

To the OP's specific question on VTF, I highly recommend reading the "what to listen for" process posted by Lloyd Walker on his web site: Fine Tuning Your Turntable. I've been using this process for years with great results.
