Airtight PC-3 users, tracking angle?


I wondered if anyone had experience of this cartridge.
Airtight do not suggest a VTA or SRA as far as I can see.
With mine when the bottom of the cart is parallel with record surface the angle of the cantilever is 26 degrees when compared to the LP surface. Using a rudimentary USB scope the stylus appears to be tilted well forward and not, the usual, almost vertical.
It tracks well and sounds good, but being an obsessive!
Any comments?

If you use what's recently been discussed over on Fremer's site (www.analogplanet.com), mimiking the cutting lathe angle of 92 degrees (stylus head leaned slightly forward and tip angle slightly back) is the way to go.

Using my dyna XV-1s, in my system, my ears really prefer around 90 - 90.5 degrees.

I would say experiement with different SRA's and whatever sounds best to you, is the way you should go. I bet you will wind up somewhere between 90 and 92.
