LP Vinyl Record Player Measuring Phono Tonearm VTA/Cartridge Azimuth Ruler 10 mm

Why is it important to adjust VTA and Azimuth? If you have a traditional tonearm, it usually has a fixed offset, low compliance, and spherical stylus. Setting VTA and Azimuth might be less critical, as any mistracking usually results in distortion, which although audible will not damage your record collection. If you have a modern tonearm, high compliance, and an elliptical or line contact stylus, mistracking can be more of an issue. This is because it mainly results in groove jumping, which can result in record wear. Product Features: - The gauge is a small handheld measuring device with a clear acrylic base and a stainless steel ruler. - It has a protractor grid laser etched into its surface for measuring Azimuth, and the ruler is graduated in 0.1mm increments. - The gauge is used to measure the Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) of a record player tonearm, which is the angle at which the stylus contacts the record. - The VTA can be adjusted to optimize the sound quality of a record player, and the gauge can also be used to measure the cartridge azimuth, which is the angle at which the cartridge is mounted on the tonearm. - The gauge is precision-engineered to ensure accurate measurements, and it is easy to use: place the gauge on the record and align the pointer with the record's center spindle; adjust the tonearm's height until the bubble is centered.
