No, it's crossed my mind as well, that's one of the reasons I've decided to have someone else align my cart.

Check to see if there is a set screw that needs tightning.

It's good to hear all of these positive stories from people who have had issues with their VPI products. I am most likley going to send the arm back to them to have them refinish it.

Ha, Ha. No seriously it's not as bad as it seems. Actually for 33rpm (top spindle right?) works fine, but the bottom one...Forget it!

Good to hear! Just out of curiosity what was wrong with your arm. It wasn't rusting was it?

Ooops!

Thanks Audiobugged. I'll try to track that down the TSI 301. The whole thing really confuses me because according to VPI it cannot and will not rust. I may just send it to them and have them look at it.

In case anyone's interested. According to VPI the arm is composed of aluminum and stainless steel, therfore whatever it is, it isn't rust. They suggested aluminum cleaner, or I can send the arm back to them to have it refinished.

Audiobugged, thanks for your in depth response. I waiting to hear back from VPI and will let everyone know what happens when I do.

I hope I didn't offend anyone here. My intentions where certainly not to "slam" VPI. I brought this up to see if anyone else possibly had a similar problem, and possibly to warn them. 
help me pick a phono preamp.
Thanks for the offer. However I'm going to get the JA Michell dino, as it has finer adjustments.
