andirocks-
Right. That's the thing about cartridges: eyes first, then ears.
Overhang and zenith (rotation on the vertical axis commonly called "alignment") are set geometrically with whatever method you choose. Everything beyond that is done by ear. VTF is a range, within which you tune by ear. VTA, always by ear. Azimuth, same deal.
There's no end to the tools some guys will try and push to make up for the lack of listening but really everything can be done equally well if not better by ear.
I've watched Fremer on an Analog Planet video use a USB camera to set SRA , he got it to 93 degrees said it was close enough and would have to fine tune by ear anyways....I don't see the need of the camera then..
