Poor BASS with Dynavector XX2 +Sunilda + AudioNote

I own a DPS table as well.

VTA is extremely easy to change with DPS/Rega arm.

It should of come with the proper sized hex screw to change it.

I used a deck of cards, and this made setting VTA very easy and repeatable.

For me it was usually between 5 or 7 cards depending on record thickness to get the best sound. I had a ZYX Atmos however.

Look on the arm side of the table, you should have a hole in the black acrylic plinth.

IF you are unable to adjust VTA with the hex screw in that hole, it is because you have the lug nut of the Rega arm tightened against the underside of the black acrylic and thus you have no freedom of movement on the tonearm. The lugnut should be towards the bottom of the Rega stub, only serving the purpose of preventing you from pulling the arm out of the hole completely. The VTA adjusting hex screw is what really holds the arm in place.

I have an XX1-H and have also found that the VTA seems to be very sensitive. I think as you get into better cartridges the VTA becomes more and more critical and harder and harder to easily identify without an on-the-fly adjustor. Far more so than my old 20X-H.

I completely agree with Soliver - you should have hex set-screw in place. Willi
(the DPS designer) makes a special one that has a flattened ball-point so that
the threads of the Rega arm are not damaged. For other arms (e.g. the
Schroeder No.2 arm) that one should be exchanged for a ball point hex screw.

I prefer the set-screw method combined with deck of cards (that you slide
between arm post and plinth to measure height and remove after set-up) to the
other Rega methods for VTA adjustment.

Ouah ... I'm impressed !

Many thanks for your valuable input. I will check that this week end (I am on business trip this week) and will let you know early next week if this has changed my life ....

BTW I do not have any doc on the DPS ... Is some one has an electronic copy he can send it to my email on stelma@sfr.fr

Many thanks again ...!!

Last week end, I have checked ... and hourra I founded the hole to tweak my VTA .. And the results was GREAT!! more basses and the sound still warm and charming !!!

I also tried with a prepre Acuphase C7 ... and it was even better !!! It means more basses, more volume .......

I will continue my investigations ... and update you later on !!!

MANY THANKS to all of you for your recoomendations.
