I also use the Well Tempered Arm, but do not have the patience nor the urge to constantly fuss with the VTA setting.  I set it for an average record and leave it alone.  For me any degradation of sound quality is not so great and I just try to enjoy the music. 

But I wondered about the use of the TAP with a variable impedence as might be presented by the SET phono stage. I always worried that would cause its own problems varying with volume adjustment, the solutions for which yield a level of complexity in the system that is unappealing to me.  Of course everything is a compromise, and perhaps the TAP in your system gives a great result. 

My handbuilt phono stage is such a big improvement over the old Modulus I ALSO used to own I don't feel necessarily the urge to buy a TAP.  maybe next time I am in San Diego I will stop by to give it a listen in your system, Paul, if you do not mind, as I am curious.

I am curious as to what specific things in your system you were seeking to improve led you to put the TAP in your system in the first place though?  Can you elaborate?
