SCHEU Premier substitution

Hi RWD,

Soundscape HiFi is a high end audio dealership in Singapore, but Marco posts here and on Audio Asylum fairly often. Great person for advice and ideas.

Their website is probably one of the best audio sites available for information on the products they carry. Lots on in-depth info, pictures, and experiences.

RWD,
sorry I forgot, Soundscape is a dealer specialised in analogue audio, based in Singapore, who has one of the best sites on the net on a lot of vinyl (soundscapehifi.com). He usually posts over on the vinyl-asylum, carries Scheu among others, and always was quite helpful and truthful when I dropped him a question about vinyl. The nice thing about him is that he recommends not always expensive gear.
I myself, as much as I would like to join you, am a German living in exile in Moscow, Russia, and although I was in NY last year, I will not be able to make it this year.

Hassel(and Tacco potentials),

I have decided to modify the one nagging aspects of the Tacco's use - VTA. The stock Tacco uses a standard Rega type set-screw to move the arm up or down. It is fiddly, inaccurate, and frustrating - impossible to make fine adjustments. Surprising, since the Tacco is a superb arm and mates extremely well with the cartridges I own.

Luckily, there are two terrific after-market VTA adjusters now for sale - Pete Riggle's VTAF and Teres Audio VTA adapter.

Which of the two is better? I have no idea, both seem to have their benefits and detriments:

The Riggle is cheaper and seems to work on just bout any table plinth. It also has been applied to a wider range of arms.

The Teres seems to require an external armboad(like Teres, Scheu etc.), but has the advantage of clearly marked increments for quickly repeatable settings.

Currently, I'm leaning towards the Teres, but am having trouble justifying the extra cost right now 'cause I'm broke.
