Once installed, the user can adjust the vertical tracking angle in minute increments without losing the rigid mounting so important to proper sound reproduction. Simply back off the nut, and turn the Adjuster clock or counter clockwise to raise the VTA height of the tone arm. The speed locking nut then allows a quick 'nip' of the set position, by hand, with no required tools and therefore no fear over over-tightening.
Please note - The VTA Arm Adjuster is designed to be used with the newer style Rega arm board Michell have been making since the beginning of 1999. If used with other turntable brands, slight enlargement of the original Rega mounting hole may be necessary to accommodate the increased diameter of the VTA sleeve (approx 1 1/8”).
The VTA adjuster, at its minimum setting, raises the tone arm by 1.75mm, which is slightly less than the thinnest shim (2mm) that Rega manufactures.
Allows precision VTA adjustment to get the most out of your cartridge
Another benefit is the lock nut weighs considerably less than the original Rega supplied one - great for suspended turntables!
Fitted in minutes even by the most hamfisted audiophile!
Notes:
- Not compatible with the newer Rega 3-point mounting arms
- When using with an RB250, please remove the plastic bush at the top of the arm threaded base to expose the the brass body to allow the arm to drop inside the VTA adjuster
