| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable @wrm57 Thatbis correct, with a hex key. Fairly easy to adjust, but not as good as a knob. But a SOTA has limited space on that island shaped arm board, so those arms with a VTA tower architecture just do not fit. But performance is the real decidi... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable @wrm57 To me the system works like Pete Riggle VTA adjuster but there is an extended grub screw to lock the VTA setting. Since the Sota armboard sits lower than the top of the plinth it isn't the most convenient system to use. On another table I a... | |
| Audiomods Is A Great Company @hilroy48 Yes the low mass version of the Model 6 has arrived. Works well the MC2000 I have But another goodie arrived from Jeff that I have installed at the moment. Sorry about the arm board condition, that one has trialed a few arms. Fortunate... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable I installed the Agile with a Transfiguration Audio Proteus, which is one of the cartridges I ran on the SME V. With the V I preferred an original Kiseki Blackheart to anything else, and was always disappointed on how the Proteus got along with it.... | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters This sidebar about mounting distance is irrelevant. SOTA built a custom armboard so the suspension will balance properly and drilled that 222 mm as per factory specs. | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable @wspohn I dreamed of a V ever since I sold them when a part time sales person during my college years. I put one on my Cosmos when I received it but never cared for the tables sound with it in place. I did bolt up an Audiomods Sweies 6 for a bit... | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @dover My apologies I missed your original post. Yes manual states 222mm and I do have the single point supplied alignment gauge. My preference is working with an arc protractor and wilL purchase one shortly. Thanks for the response. | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @rauliruegas Appreciate the numbers from Vinyl Engines calculator. I used to have an account there, and then one day I could not log in. Never could reestablish access to it, nor make a new one. The arc protractor program I used was Conrad H one... | |
| Is this a bargain? Does not show up on the LP Gear website. So either gone, or was a scam | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @lewm Makes the most reasonable post. No other post explains the reason behind a 17.5 mm overhang. I must be missing something but this does not match any geometry for an arm with a spindle to pivot of 222 mm. | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable The Agile tonearm and custom arm board delivered yesterday. I spent a bit of time reading the manual and bolting the arm to the board and placing it on the table. You have to remove a cushion/ spacer in the arm bearing that is used for transit. Th... | |
| Audiomods Is A Great Company @mijostyn You think the Millenia is available? I am not sure they have produced a new one lately. It seems like they are devoting their time and resources to getting their direct drive one to market. | |
| Record cleaning and realistic expectations @lewm Of course anything worth doing is worth overdoing! That is the way we operate in the world of vinyl. | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable Got notification that the SOTA arm board has been built, and it is heading my way along with the Origin Live Agile tonearm. Fed Ex says it will deliver this coming Wednesday. Now I just have to decide which cartridge to put on it. I have the Trans... | |
| Audiomods Is A Great Company Last week the low mass version of the arm built arrived. I have it temporarily set up on the table, but I need a spacer as the Scheu arm board is just too low. this is a problem with the Schroder arm I have on it also. But Jeff has fabricated one ... |
