Pioneer PL-9 VTA Adjustment
Hey all, I recently acquired a PL-9, one of my “grail” tables. After fixing the auto mechanism it’s running quite well and I’m considering swapping out the Technics in my main system. I’d like to move the Denon cart over as well but it’s VTA sensitive, and I haven’t been able to find adjustment...- ctbiggs

Upgrading speaker posts on VTA ST70
Hi everybody. I picked up a beautiful VTA ST-70 that was assembled by a lady named Sue in 2013 (signed in the chassis). It is set up to accommodate 8ohm speakers only. I want to hook it up to a pair of Klipsch Fortes which are 4ohm. Anybody know what I'd have to do to upgrade this on the amp...- brizey

VTA/SRA for Stanton 681eee with Jico Shibata D 681EEE-S stylus on Thorens TD-160 /TP-16 tone arm
Hi, I just got a new Jico Shibata stylus for my Stanton 681eee cart mounted on a Thorens TD-160 TP-16 tonearm. I'm trying to set up a good VTA, but not sure I got it perfect. I'm hearing some sibilance, and sound is a tad bit too bright. Attaching pictures of the angles when on a thick record...- r_s_guy

I’m too high
Or maybe my tonearm is... I just built a plinth for my newly acquired Technics SP-10 Mk2 and EPA-100 arm. The plinth is a solid 3” thick layered birch ply affair. I’ve found an original Obsidian armboard which I’ve mounted next to the deck. The aluminum armboard is mounted on the same level...- friendlyvolc

teaching VTA M-125 to sing
As built by VTA, my M-125 mono-blocks were very noisy, ≈55db unweighted. After fixing build and design errors, the amps quietened almost 40db to ≈93db unweighted. I suspect many DIY and retro designs may suffer similar problems. In an effort to help others with similar problems, complete...- Ian Eales

Lots of Sibilance w/ Empire 698 -- Help!
Hi all, I've had the 698 for several weeks now. Gave it a new drive belt. New motor grommets. It's in excellent condition. I swapped out the stylus to a recommended NOS Empire as the original was worn down to almost nothing. Now, every moment there's something higher pitched, whether it be...- Chief Brody

2m black and vta?
Hey all - this has been kind of brought up before on various forums - but only twice as far as I can tell with no real conclusion - what I’m thinking of is putting a 2m black on a debut iii tt. The main consensus has been lack of vta on debut would make it a pointless upgrade, however, since I...- I <3 audio

JVC QL-F6 VTA adjustment?
Hello! Am hoping some of you helpful folks can be of some assistance. I have a JVC QL-F6. It came with a 4mm thick rubber mat (not the original). I picked up a 3mm acrylic mat for it, and it looks like the vertical tracking angle (VTA) might be SLIGHTLY low with the new mat. I have read in a...- Rockin Robby
