[QUOTE="marantz123, post: 827939, member: 16849"] Greetings With that arm at rest, it seems like the VTA needs to be improved, also judging this wrt the height of the platter. Im sure that ive seen a very similar arm on a CEC deck, and another deck that i had in last year. There should be a tiny screw on the arm pillar/collar that will allow for the height increase/vta which should then give the clearance needed at the back of the headshell. That cantilever probably has good compliance, which would accentuate the problem if the back of the shell is just clearing the LP at times. Fix the vta..its easy to do, and get slighty longer screws. Thats a decent, solid, fuss-free j-arm and performs well. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
