Please Note: This is compatible with Rega tonearms and derivatives using the original three point fixing base such as the RB202, RB303.
The Michell VTA adjuster 2 allows you to easily adjust the height of your tonearm, so it is perfectly level no matter what cartridge you choose to use. Correctly setting the vertical tracking angle (VTA) and subsequently the stylus rake angle (SRA) for your cartridge, allows the stylus to perfectly track the vinyl groove, optimising the amount of detail extracted from the recording.
M-VTA-2The output level of MC cartridges is very low, compared to a MM (Moving Magnet) one it is about 10x lower, which means, you need a special phono amplifier. A higher gain is needed to utilize the signals, which can result in a higher noise level and distortion. The MC Step-Up Box S3 is the solution.
