Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?


Here's a very interesting article by Geoff Husband of TNT on the importance (or better relative unimportance) of overly accurate VTA adjustment.

Exposing the VTA myth?

A short quote form the article:

Quote - "VTA, or Vertical Tracking Angle is one of those topics that divides opinion...That 'VTA' matters is indisputable, but the purpose of this article is to examine the validity of the claims made for the relative importance of VTA...SRA/VTA matters of course, but in the real world not THAT much, rigidity, simplicity and lateral alignment are all more important"

What are your thought and comments on this issue?

I totally agree with Lloyd on this point.

However, it could be argued that the problems Lloyd has pointed out might be minimal with certain tonearm systems, and the trade-off may be considered by the user to be a worthwhile trade of convenience in VTA tuning vs absolute stability and geometry.

In an absolute sense, Lloyd is correct on this issue, as I think would be expected of the producer of a turntable at the quality level of the Walker.
If only we could have a very rigid, entirely free playing tone arm with adjustable vta, azmuth, overhang, and tracking weight.
