I'm taking a poll...

Vote for A, B, or C---

Assuming all other turntable set-up parameters are dialed-in, optimum vinyl playback is achieved when:

A. You set the tonearm at level and leave it there.
B. You use your ears and adjust the VTA incrementally up or down.
C. You get the stylus to ride in the groove at a 2 degree angle forward, to match the assumed angle of the cutting stylus.

Hi Will,

1st of all, I don't understand the 2 degrees bit. 2 degs from where to what?

2nd thing, if its SRA thats being referred to, should'nt it be 88 or 92 degrees?

How do we measure 2 degrees on something like a stylus? A profile projector. I have one at work, costs 40k, does anybody else own one?

Even if we did have it, how do you measure it and set it up on something sooooo compliant like a cantilever???

I have a solution to this. I've built an infinitely variable suspension system for the mounting of cartridges. Just tracks accurately everytime. The music, is so much more FREEEEE sounding.

Cheers!
