IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A VTA ADJUSTER
If you do not have a VTA adjuster, then use the 2 large spacing
washers supplied to set the arm base to the correct height.
Bolt the arm to the armboard or plinth - you only need tighten
the large nut to fi nger tightness or very slightly tighter.
IF YOU HAVE THE ORIGIN LIVE THREADED VTA
ADJUSTER (WHICH FITS MOST DECKS
This adjuster does not fi t the newer Rega arms with 3 point
mounting holes. First thread the adjuster onto the arm. Ensure
that the threaded metal sleeve is the right way up with the
serrated fl ange on the top side. This ensures that the arm goes
all the way down into the sleeve. Once the threaded adjuster is
on, insert the arm through the armboard hole and fi t the cork
washer if desired then the large clamping nut. If you fi nd your
arm is too high with the vta adjuster fi tted, then you should
remove it, as it adds 1.5mm to the height of the arm.

The arm is bolted or screwed to the deck using the 3 mounting
holes in the base of the arm. To raise the arm for VTA adjustment
you will need to fi t 3 or more spacing washers under the arm
base holes. One peice spacers are available from Rega if you want
a neater looking solution.

Connecting the arm
FIT THE ARM CABLE CLIP
For best performance the arm cable should be supported by a
cable clip screwed into position underneath the plinth - leave a
slight droop on it so that it isn’t “tight”. Clipping the arm helps
prevent vibration feeding into the arm.
