I would not trust myself to set tracking angles; I would hope the dealer would do it for me. Floating the arm and setting tracking force is the extent of my confidence
TT set up
I finally got my TT set up. What an exercise. The key was the flexibility of the Sutherland Engineering PhonoBlock. I was able to set the gain at 67db with a special card. The loading is 100 ohms. It solved all my problems! The cartridge is a Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua.
The hardest part was setting the VTA. The turntable is a VPI Classic 3. The tonearm has a tapered shape. It was difficult to see the angle it makes with the platter. I finally bought a USB scope, but haven't used it yet. At some point, I'll try to set SRA using it.
For now, it sounds best it ever has!
