Hi Audiogoners. I understand ther refer to Vertical Tracking Angle and Stylus Raking Angle. What I would like to know is are they the same thing? I mean, every time we change the VTA, let say 1degree, then the SRA will change the same 1 degree? Thanks, Calvin
What I meant was since the lps have different thickness and some other variables, using microscope to find the 92 degree is only bring you to the boundary of 92 degree, therefore if we can trust the cartridge manufacturers we can save money on purchasing the microscope.
if we can set the top of the cartridge perfectly parallel to the platter, then we can get very close to 92 degree?
If all is well, probably so. But I've seen cartridges where the stylus was incorrectly mounted, making the proper SRA impossible. It never sounded right either- finally traced the issue to that defect. So sound quality is a good indicator :)
Dear @dangcaonguyen : Please forgeret about that 92° that is what says theory. Trust in your ears that let you know your reality ( an non-perfect reality that can't even theory. ), what you like.
