The STOGI S 12 VTA combines the superbly stable platform provided by the STOGI S-type bearing and the ultra-low tracing distortion of the 12” tonearm, with the ability to precisely adjust arm-height and thus VTA/SRA on a record by record basis or even on the fly.
By using an offset mounting and a rigidly coupled VTA tower, the STOGI S 12 VTA actually mounts at the same distance from the turntable spindle (P2S) as the 9” arm, ensuring compatibility with the widest range of turntables and plinths, even those with skeletal chassis construction or small armboards.
The large diameter VTA tower provides zero-play adjustment of arm-height in increments as small as 0.01 mm, allowing precise alignment of the stylus with the groove face for optimum retrieval of information and the most natural musical replay. Such tiny adjustments might seem almost irrelevant, but in practice they are easily heard and the fact that you can alter arm-height as the record is playing means that with surprisingly little experience, adjustment for optimum performance is easily achieved.
With the same termination options as the other STOGI S models and minimum tracing distortion due to its 12” effective length and precision VTA adjustment, the level of performance achievable with the STOGI S 12 VTA means that it will be perfectly at home in the most ambitious systems, regardless of price.
