Jelco Easy VTA on the Fly

...just a bit of a caution.....as you raise the rear end of the arm, you are decreasing the vtf.  ...not so easy to listen/adjust/listen/ajust, etc.

@stringreen Any idea what difference in VTF occurs for every millimetre of change to VTA?

No, that would increase VTF, not decrease it.

You’d need more information to calculate this, including the weight and length of the arm. But it’s an easy thing to measure with a good VTF gauge.

@cleeds Dang, I was hoping there was a formula or someone else knew!

Cleeds....not on MY arm it doesn't...  The tracking force is decreased when the rear of the arm is raised.  My cartridge sounds best at a particular vtf...to dial it in you have to listen and adjust.  Because I have the 2nd pivot attached, the azimuth doesn't change, but all those who have a unipivot, the azimuth will change as well.  It might take a month or more of diddling until satisfaction (but never assurance) kicks in.
