First of all, the tonearm is pushed more towards one side of the groove when the whole is slightly skewed, this ensures that, for example, the left channel gets more emphasis than actually intended. As a result, the balance in the display is lost. Now a lot of record players do have an anti-skate \/ bias adjustment, but that is not intended to correct for the player being skewed. The anti-skate \/ bias value that a cartridge manufacturer recommends is also based on a perfectly horizontal turntable.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSecondly, the bearing of the turntable is disproportionately loaded. This results in faster wear, but can also cause extra vibrations because the rotational load is no longer completely in the middle (the centre of gravity moves slightly to the side).

This, in turn, determines at which angle the stylus sits on the record groove.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e​The theoretical assumption is that when the Cartridge is perfectly perpendicular to the record groove, the stylus will sit perfectly in the record grooves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e​All cartridges are made by hand and therefore, the stylus may not actually be perfectly perpendicular to the cantilever, the coil assembly at the of the cantilever or the cartridge body. This means visual methods, can only provide you with an approximation. As soon as the record spins, whether your stylus is sitting at the optimal spot is unknown, so it is impossible to achieve an accurate setup by eyesight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e​If azimuth is set incorrectly, the Stylus will not sit perfectly in the record groove, signals recorded on the Left Channel will leak to the Right Channel, (or vice versa), this is leakage between Channels is called Crosstalk, and it is expressed as a negative decibel number. The higher the negative number, the lower the crosstalk, the better the channel separation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncorrect azimuth will also lead to degradation in other measurements such as %THD between L and R channel, as well as IMD% (Intermodulation Distortions).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat exactly is Vertical Tracking Alignment (VTA)?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo understand how Vertical Tracking Alignment works it is important to first look at the basics; the way plates are produced. In order to press a record, a press mould must always be made first, this press mould is made from a so-called master. The master is actually the same as the LP we eventually get our hands on, but with one big difference: it is not pressed, but cut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cutting of the grooves in the master is always done at an angle of 20 degrees, which means that the sound signal should be read by the needle of our record player at this angle for a perfect reproduction. In order to achieve this, some turntables have a VTA adjustment facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to set the right VTA?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjusting the VTA is mainly a matter of very good listening. A good starting point for finding the right VTA is adjusting the tone arm horizontally, because almost all record players sold today are designed so that the needle will hit the record more or less the right way when the tone arm is horizontal. To check the horizontal orientation of the tone arm, you can use our VTA ruler, to check this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom here, the listening and finding the \"sweet-spot\" begins. To find it, there are special test records on the market, but you can also use a record from your own record collection. It is advisable to look for a record with a well-defined bass. If the needle is tilted too far forward the bass won't be deep and full, if it's too far back it's too heavy and lacks definition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have to admit that it's not easy to find the right VTA, but if you want to get the most out of your turntable it's definitely worth doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe perfect VTA does not exist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the above statement sounds a little strange after all the explanations we've just given, but it is unfortunately true that the perfect Vertical Tracking Alignment is not possible. Why is that? The records we listen to vary in thickness, for example a 180 gram LP is a lot thicker than a 140 gram LP. This means that the VTA will be different when playing these records on the same turntable. For this reason, it is recommended that you use a record of average thickness, or a thickness representative of your record collection, to adjust the VTA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dutch Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39410087133249,"sku":"GK-R36B","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/R36B_1.jpg?v=1725157982"},{"product_id":"universal-1-2-turntable-headshell-aluminium-sme-type-4-pin-cartridge-head-shell","title":"Black Universal 1\/2\" Turntable Headshell – Aluminium SME Type 4-Pin Cartridge Head Shell","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"420\" data-start=\"91\"\u003eUpgrade or replace your turntable headshell with this universal 1\/2\" aluminium turntable headshell, designed to suit a wide range of hi-fi and vinyl playback setups.
