| What is the "correct" VTA for the Lyra Atlas? I have my Lyra Atlas sitting pretty much dead level and it sounds excellent. As for tracking, mine sounds better at 1.74 using the Winds stylus force gauge.Don't forget the load on the phono. If set too high the Atlas can sound lean and if set too... | |

| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lewm, Nope, not a dunce at all, these threads get so convoluted it becomes difficult to follow.I hope the MK2 mod is wonderful if for no other reason than it's an affordable upgrade on a turntable that's reasonably easy to find.
