VTA and SRA?

Can anyone explain what the difference is? Or are they a horse of another color? Thanks!

VTA = vertical tracking angle; SRA = stylus rake angle. Both are measures of the angle of the stylus to the groove along the axis of the cantilever. The measure of the angle of the stylus to the groove perpendicular to the axis of the cantilever is called azimuth. Hope this helps.

Could be why I never bothered to look any further than VTA. BTW, VTA adjustment on the fly is the main reason I went with the Graham. Learned this a long, long time ago with my Magnepan Unitrac I.
