Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar

Dear Gersimon: I'm sorry but ARC never been my kind of reference standard and I know very well that series you mentioned.
In the other side that Louis recording is superb no doubt about.

regards and enjoy the music,
raul.

Agree with Raul.

ARC does not make a reference standard product of any type IMO.

But that's probably another thread in and of itself.

Oh..... You guys never fail to entertain!!
With the endless back and forth.
What we need is a 25 year old, who is capable of actually hearing the frequency extremes we speak of, and has impeccable taste, of course, to conduct a shootout, and lay the issue to rest, for once and all!
In the meantime, I'm searching for one of those B&O mmc1 cartridges!!!!!
I always enjoy reading about this pricey stuff!

How do you adjust the VTA with the Allnic?
If you look very exactly to the needle from the side and try to achieve a vertical position of the needle in the groove, i have the feeling to forced to rise the tonearm much more than with other cartridges and then the headshell and the downside of the cartridge is not parallel to the platter any more.
What are your experiences?

I don't own an Allnic cartridge, but the object of VTA adjustment is really to obtain the proper SRA (Stylus Rake Angle). If that requires raising the rear of the tonearm so that the tonearm is no longer parallel to the LP, I say do it anyway. There is nothing sacred about that.
