Currently using my magnepan unitrac and am looking to get a tone arm for another table. Must have VTA and preferably on the fly. Not asking for opinions
on need for it. That said, Rega is out. I know others sell add ons to accomplish this, but I want one that comes with it. I almost bought one VPI sells at 2600, then discovered you also need the tonearm base which is sold separately for additional 1500! No thanks. I see plenty that have adjustment, but not on the fly. Maybe doesnt exist any more?
Thanks,

How about Audiomods series 6 with VTA?
I've had them here to install.
Had Graham Phantom too. They are $$$$, but excellent arms.

Your choice of cartridge will further limit your choice -
For low compliance MCs the FR 64S + B61 base still takes a lot of beating BUT not suitable on a sprung mounted TT.
This combination costs a LOT of money!!
For higher compliance MCs & MMs etc the top Technics arms often have an elevation base AND they are light enough
for most spring mounted TTs.

I see they only sell direct. I will send a note...
Thanks for heads up.
