Lenco L75 VTA Ring adjustment Kits:

Hi-end turntable tend to come with a tonearm that can adjust VTA of the stylus because hi-end equipment manufacturers know well how important it is when you want to bring the best sound result out of your records. Some tonearm even provide Lenco L75 VTA Ring adjustment on the fly, but then likely to cost you a fortune.

Before we do adjustment of the VTA , we better understand

WHAT IS VTA:

When the producer and sound engineers finished recording of the master tape, they then are using an electronic cutting stylus to etch the sound grooves in a hard plastic disc with a “Lathe”.

The sound is passed through the sapphire cutting stylus by moving up and down, left and right, tracing out an exact waveform representation of the music to the soft lacquer, and after several steps then pressing the records.

Those grooves are engraved constantly in an unique angle according to the angle of the cutting stylus being set in the process above.

So when we play the record, we need to align the angle of the stylus same as the angle of the stylus of the cutting stylus and there you will obtain the TRUE signal.

Unfortunately, each record company and engineer may set up the cutting stylus angle differently, which means all records from different record companies and era have different Lenco L75 VTA Ring.

But when you find it, we will be able to hear true nature sound stage, plenty of right information, very life and a lot of moving music.
