At best it is always going to be compromise as record lathe cutter head angles can vary between manufacturers, then there's record thickness and finally VTF can impact cantilever angle.
What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable?
I can't believe after all these years, I am asking such a basic "analogue 101" question, but here it goes. I own a VPI turntable that has a "VTA on the fly" knob. I thought the best VTA setting was for the arm to be 100% parallel to the record surface.
However, based on some research, I am not so sure that is correct way to set the arm to achieve optimal VTA and correlatively, optimal SRA. Not sure, ... but I think I have to raise the pivot side of the arm.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
