Product Description
Vertical Tracking Adjuster kits for Michell turntables. Select from the drop-down menu which version you need; VTA 1, 2 or 3.
The Michell VTA adjuster allows you to easily adjust the height of your tonearm, so it is perfectly level no matter what cartridge you choose to use. Correctly setting the vertical tracking angle (VTA) and subsequently the stylus rake angle (SRA) for your cartridge, allows the stylus to perfectly track the vinyl groove, optimising the amount of detail extracted from the recording.
VTA 1:
Compatible with Rega tonearms and derivatives using a threaded base, such as the RB250, RB300.
The VTA adjuster’s base is 2mm thick and once installed and set to its lowest position, the adjuster will raise your tonearm by 2mm. If you are using the adjuster with a Michell Engineering Gyro or Orbe model turntable then please fit the shorter 10mm arm plate spacers supplied, to compensate for the added height of the adjuster. If you wish to use the adjuster on a turntable where the arm plate/board cannot be lowered, then please note that your tonearm will be 2mm higher before any adjustment has taken place.
Can be used in conjunction with the Finger locking nut.
VTA 2:
Compatible with Rega tonearms and derivatives using the original three point fixing base, such as the RB202, RB303.
The VTA/SRA adjuster’s base is 2mm thick and once installed and set to its lowest position, the adjuster will raise your tonearm by 2mm. If you are using the adjuster with a Michell Engineering Gyro or Orbe model turntable then please fit the shorter 10mm arm plate spacers supplied, to compensate for the added height of the adjuster. If you wish to use the adjuster on a turntable where the arm plate/board cannot be lowered, then please note that your tonearm will be 2mm higher before any adjustment has taken place.
VTA 3:
Compatible with Rega tonearms using the redesigned three point fixing base, such as the RB220, RB330.
The VTA/SRA adjuster’s base is 2mm thick and once installed and set to its lowest position, the adjuster will raise your tonearm by 2mm. If you are using the adjuster with a Michell Engineering Gyro or Orbe model turntable then please fit the shorter 10mm arm plate spacers supplied, to compensate for the added height of the adjuster. If you wish to use the adjuster on a turntable where the arm plate/board cannot be lowered, then please note that your tonearm will be 2mm higher before any adjustment has taken place. The VTA/SRA adjuster comes with three nylon washers, these are to be used if you wish to raise the tonearm more than the 3.5mm of lift available using the adjuster on its own.
*currently not compatible with Rega turntables that utilise ‘Double brace technology’
