| New TT ideas please Thanks Doug, for the clarification. I always thought of correct VTA in terms of focus, which is a simple way of dsaying what you describe, relating to the perfect mating of the sylus to the groove, which, at least with the fancier stylus designs, ... | |

| Recommended first turntable? buying cheap isn't everything. spoken as a true dealer. | |
| cartridge output level wherever you get them, make sure they are super low noise, perhaps cryoed. ATSI or Upscale might suit you as vendors. | |
