Hi, Pryso
>>> Axel, what is VTAF? <<<
VTA/SRA on the F = FLY, a pretty well known concept actually.
>>> ...would you call the Graham Triplanar adjustment devices towers? <<< yes, 'VTA adjustment tower' using a micrometer type spindle for fine adjustment.. ON THE FLY.
>>> ... not all of those allow for adjustment of VTA during play <<< during play = on the fly another well.., yes.
Maybe they do not all quality, which would be a little more limiting in quickly finding a VTA 'sweet spot' - but their quick up down action including a graded dial is about this here inquiry.
>>> The JMW-9 has an adjustment dial but (I don't believe) it is recommended during playback <<<
I think that was at least the idea? --- and maybe Harry doesn't mind? :-)
But as to VPI, and as mentioned above: some say they wobble too much for their liking...
Larry,
a good point you make, it sounds like Pierre Lurnés analogue thoughts revisited,

I actually just mentioned this on the old skool tonearm thread ------- BUT, VTA is more a vertical only affair, yes?
If that is true, we'd be back with a^2 + b^2 = c^2 and the same angle alpha (enclosing A & B) over a longer C and B = a bigger A. Hm, (Trigonometry by Notepad :-)
Hello Viridian,
hey, we love those funny older 'pegs' for their music making! :-)
Where ever I put this hierarchy you refer to, it was strictly about detail retrieval and resolution, regarding their (conical et al) forgivingness compared to hyper exact VTA settings needed for those other fine-line jobs.
As you rightly point out, detail retrieval and resolution is NOT = to musicality as such.
So yes, horses for courses, but it wouldnt change the facts about their (o) specific strength and weaknesses.
No bashing intended at all! For my own liking -- I think elliptical to be musical enough, else next we gonna argue about a more high-end kind gramophone needle.
(Can't remember that cool sounding metal some used, maybe someone can help my memory).
Many thanks,
Axel
