Is VTA and SRA the same thing?

Cleed, excellent geometry. If you think things sound better a little off parallel knock your self out. All my cartridges are have very small fine line styli. Moving off parallel only make things sound worse so I don't bother any more. It could be psychological as I have no way to AB it. There you are. Oh, I am a neurotic perfectionist. I is usually not a fun trait.

Guys. Jeesh. You move the arm up or down until your ears &/or electrical measurement system tell you that best results are obtained. Surely this academic squabble over definitions is meaningless in the practical domain!

@solypsa, thank you for stating the obvious. +1

Yeah Ledermann covers it all. He somehow manages the seemingly impossible feat of being even more long winded than me. He on the other hand is infinitely more interesting. And experienced.
