VTA for a Dynavector 20X2L

You might find this article informative/instructive: (http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/vinyl/messages/1240.html) This hobby SHOULD be fun!

Rodman99999, that's a great link you provided to the Jon Risch article. It really cuts through a lot of the mumbo-jumbo often associated with cartridge alignment.

And you are right, of course, that our hobby should be fun. Otherwise, what's the point of it all?

I think Risch's real pièce de résistance on phono cartridge alignment is the article "More than one VTA" (also a shared credit with Maier) which was published in the March, 1981 edition of Audio magazine. It's worth seeking out in a library. It's a more detailed article than the one you linked, and includes drawings that make the geometry explicitly clear.

Sometimes its very difficult to find what horizontal is. The SME V prints a horizontal line on the arm...very useful. The are arms that are not all that easy. Horizontal is a good place to start if it can be found.

Here'a an inexpensive method of finding out whether everything's on the level: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/complete-set-of-spirit-levels-for-vinyl-playback-/161864630246?hash=item25afe23fe6)

SME arm is a good place to start. And then you'll forget about most if not all Dynavectors.
Sorry, couldn't help it.
