Tonearm adjustments on the fly

I know that Reed tonearms allow for this, but what other ones do?

Dear @washline  : At the end all those VTA on the fly mechanism in tonearms are fine for tiny VTA adjustements but when you need not so tiny VTA adjustements then you need to fix too the AZ, overhang and even could be the VTF. So what's the deal down there?

There is an ultra rare Airtangent straight line tracking arm that had the capability to raise and lower the arm by remote control.  That would be close to the ultimate setup for lazy adjustability, particularly if the arm were a neutral balance arm where tracking force does not change (I don't know if that is the case).

The Basis Vector arm has a mechanism that would allow for on the fly raising and lowering of the tonearm, but, when one selects the desired height, the main locking grub screw has to be tightened, and then the raising and lowering mechanism is backed off so that it is no longer in contact with the armboard (too much work for ultra lazy people).

The tonearm tube is internally damped with a strip of felt and the SME type removable headshell is gripped by a collet arrangement.

But above all the barrel has undergone an incredible surface treatment that is not conductive to further shield the cables that pass inside from radio and Emi interference that propagate in the air, it is sufficient to try with a tester to see that there is no it is conduction.
When some manufacturers painted the barrel to make them non-conductive, Victor had adopted a valid and expensive method of treatment.

That treatment is nothing more than anodizing, a fairly standard finish used to protect the aluminum surface from oxidation. It forms aluminum oxide on the surface and that is not electrically conductive. The thicker the layer the more insulating property it has. I've seen heatsinks that have been treated this way just for that purpose.Ever try drilling a hole through aluminum that has a fairly thick anodized surface? The drill will squeal and protest until it has broken through that hard layer. Aluminum oxide is also used in certain sand paper.
