I usually don't tinker with VTA too much since all the arms I have owned simply had a set screw to loosen to move the base up or down. I would pick an average VTA - middle value between thick and thin vinyl. I pulled the trigger on the VTA lifter option for my Clearaudio Performance DC Satisfy Arm combo. Installed last night and aligned - took about a hour. This thing is amazing - you pull the lever to change VTA to match your record thickness while the record is playing. You can level the arm in moments. This is one of those things you did not know was missing until having it. Subjective listening - small changes around the tone arm being level enhance the 3D imaging. Bigger movements affect tonal balance - which I already knew but the fine adjustment completes the picture.
