On the Carbon you cant adjust the VTA. You can on the 1.3.
This would come in handy if you decided to flirt with different cartridges. When I put the Denon on it was almost the same size as the Sumiko Pearl that came with the 1.3 so I left the VTA alone. But its there if I need it :-)
I use tubes for listening. Once you get the right system tubes are the only way to go. {In my opinion}
For background listening I have a solid state Music Hall. Works great. But my Jolida really brings the music alive.
Good Luck!!
