The Michell VTA Adjuster 3 enables precise tonearm height adjustments to achieve optimal vertical tracking angle. Accurate VTA settings significantly enhance the stylus's ability to follow the vinyl groove, ensuring maximal detail retrieval from recordings.The VTA Adjuster 3 is designed to correct the vertical tracking angle (VTA) of turntable tonearms, which is critical for optimal playback performance. The VTA directly influences the stylus rake angle (SRA); both angles are vital for ensuring that the stylus maintains contact with the groove walls of the record in an optimal position, allowing for accurate tracking and minimal distortion. This adjuster is engineered with a 2mm thick base that raises the tonearm accordingly, accounting for the additional height to maintain level positioning, which is essential when using different cartridges with varying heights and profiles. The inclusion of nylon washers provides further adjustability, offering customization beyond the standard lift capabilities.Key Features Height Adjustment: Allows for precise elevation adjustments (2mm base height) to ensure the tonearm remains level for optimal tracking performance. VTA/SRA Optimization: Facilitates correct VTA and SRA settings, which are crucial for accurate stylus alignment within the record groove, reducing tracking error and enhancing audio fidelity. Compatibility: Works with Rega tonearms featuring redesigned three-point fixing base systems, optimizing integration with various cartridges. Nylon Washers: Includes three nylon washers to enable further elevation adjustments exceeding the default 3.5mm, thus accommodating different cartridge configurations. Shorter Arm Plate Spacers: Provided spacers for use with Michell Engineering turntables help to compensate for added height due to the adjuster, maintaining ideal tonearm setup. Technical Specifications Base Thickness: 2mm Maximum Lift: 3.5mm (additional with washers) Compatibility: Rega tonearms with redesigned three-point fixing base Included Spacers: Shorter 10mm arm plate spacers for Michell Engineering models
