cleeds,
"This is mistaken. Of course it's difficult to do on a lightweight turntable or one with a very compliant suspension. But something like an SME V on a heavy plinth turntable such as a VPI TNT does allow for the safe adjustment of VTA while a record is playing."
OK. go for it. But my opinion is not "mistaken". It's just my opinion based on my experience, and none of my 5 turntables is lightweight or suspended. You yourself just cited some other factors in favor of not adjusting VTA while an LP is in play, but you're entitled to your opinion in favor of VTA on the fly, as well.
Vinny, I am a bit tired of being included in your little war with Raul.
