Accurate VTA settings significantly enhance the stylus's ability to follow the vinyl groove, ensuring maximal detail retrieval from recordings.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe VTA Adjuster 3 is designed to correct the vertical tracking angle (VTA) of turntable tonearms, which is critical for optimal playback performance. The VTA directly influences the stylus rake angle (SRA); both angles are vital for ensuring that the stylus maintains contact with the groove walls of the record in an optimal position, allowing for accurate tracking and minimal distortion. This adjuster is engineered with a 2mm thick base that raises the tonearm accordingly, accounting for the additional height to maintain level positioning, which is essential when using different cartridges with varying heights and profiles. The inclusion of nylon washers provides further adjustability, offering customization beyond the standard lift capabilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows for precise elevation adjustments (2mm base height) to ensure the tonearm remains level for optimal tracking performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVTA\/SRA Optimization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Facilitates correct VTA and SRA settings, which are crucial for accurate stylus alignment within the record groove, reducing tracking error and enhancing audio fidelity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with Rega tonearms featuring redesigned three-point fixing base systems, optimizing integration with various cartridges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNylon Washers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes three nylon washers to enable further elevation adjustments exceeding the default 3.5mm, thus accommodating different cartridge configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShorter Arm Plate Spacers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provided spacers for use with Michell Engineering turntables help to compensate for added height due to the adjuster, maintaining ideal tonearm setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase Thickness: 2mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Lift: 3.5mm (additional with washers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Rega tonearms with redesigned three-point fixing base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Spacers: Shorter 10mm arm plate spacers for Michell Engineering models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Michell Audio","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":43088189194353,"sku":"MAVTA3B","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":43088189227121,"sku":"MAVTA3S","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/0571\/7617\/files\/vta3-1920w.webp?v=1774187371","url":"https:\/\/shopodsy.com\/products\/michell-vta-3","provider":"ODSY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
