Sliding VTA adjuster for Rega tonearms

The "sliding VTA adjuster" is the best sounding adjuster but adds 13mm to the height of your arm postion due to it's thickness. Using this adjuster you can further raise the arm by an additional 20mm. This VTA adjuster for the Rega is very suitable for turntables which can accept a 13mm increase to the height of the rega arm. The sliding vta adjuster gives infinite adjustment and improves the sound quality. It consists of a sleeve that you can adjust vertically and which is clamped in position using a grub screw.

Sliding VTA adjuster for the Rega arm (will not fit most decks)

The "sliding VTA adjuster" is the best sounding adjuster but adds 13mm to the height of your arm postion due to it's thickness. Using this adjuster you can further raise the arm by an additional 20mm. This VTA adjuster for the Rega is very suitable for turntables which can accept a 13mm increase to the height of the rega arm. The sliding vta adjuster gives infinite adjustment and improves the sound quality. It consists of a sleeve that you can adjust vertically and which is clamped in position using a grub screw. The mechanism is similar to the Linn arm height adjustment. It is worth noting that the sleeve clamps the Rega in position without damaging it's threads. The flange holding the sleeve is fastened onto your armboard using 2 or 3 bolts or screws unequally spaced on a 55mm diameter circle. It needs a mounting hole somewhere between 28mm - 42mm in diameter and is then screwed or bolted to the armboard using 3 fastenings . The overall diameter of the VTA is 70mm.

To work out if your deck will accept the adjuster, allow for the following - The height between the top of your armboard and the top of the platter must be greater than 44mm. If this is the case then the Origin Live VTA adjuster will fit your deck mounted on top of the armboard. The VTA adjuster for the Rega actually improves it's performance significantly because it decouples the arm. The rigidity principle often conflicts with the principle of reducing long resonance paths and this is a case in point.
