Which has higher priority, overhang or VTA?

Hi Audiogoner,
it seems to me, any time I change the VTA, the overhang is changing also. As my experience in the last few days, after adjusted the VTA by a very little angle (1 or 2 mm on the vpi jmw vertical post) I heard the better sound. I am confused, I hear better because of the correct overhang or the correct VTA? What do you think?

" it seems to me, any time I change the VTA, the overhang is changing also."  Theoretically true.

But hard to see what the issue is here.  You can always reset overhang after adjusting for VTA/SRA.

But you really don't have to.  As a bit of high school trig will reveal, if you begin with a 10" level arm and raise (or lower) it by 2 degrees, you will shorten the overhang by about .006".

Not to worry.
