I just purchased a Shelter 201 cartridge and am having a bit of a challenge setting the VTA on my old Thorens TD15O MkII. I do not have any sophisticated tools for cartridge set up, but the TD150 cartridge head has easily adjustable VTA settings. With other cartridges like Grados I can align the bottom of the cartridge to be parallel to the record surface and the cartridge face at right angle to the surface as a starting point, then tweak from there till the sound locks in. The Shelter 201 as far as I can tell has few right angles, and I am having a harder time finding the general starting point for finer adjustment. If no one has any tricks for how to narrow the possible starting point for this cartridge, I will just brute force the process by checking through a number of settings to see what sounds best.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
