VTA - High, Low, Where You go?


Most tonearm dealers recommend a level setting of the arm in relation to an LP. Many audiophiles suggest a level to slightly "butt down" setting (which has been my general experience). I would have interest to hear from those who find that a "Headshell down" setting works best with their rig. If you do, what arm/pickup are you using?

Risch's article is great, but don't forget his P.S.:

"... must be getting old! I went over my old notes on SRA single adjust set it and leave it angle, it is 2 degree foward, not 1 degree. The memory ain't what it used to be. Sorry for any inconvenience this may ahve casued anyone. Found the old card I had made up to set up my turntable, yep, 2 degrees.

Even with a maglight and loupe I can't really spot the contact lines on my Shelter stylus. I just fudge it by judging the angle of the stylus in general, which I guess Jon's post allows.

Newbee, when I discuss specs, should I mention the thick audiophile thingies resting on my nose?
