Funny, my experience is the opposite. I wonder if the answer flip flops depending on which side of parallel the tonearm is. Above, below or horizontal. I know what my arm as it's set up does. Physics isn't my thing and there could be (and most likely are) other explanations I've not considered. I would love an answer from someone who actually knows. No one here does, including me. It's fun and didn't get too sideways. Cheers!
What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable?
I can't believe after all these years, I am asking such a basic "analogue 101" question, but here it goes. I own a VPI turntable that has a "VTA on the fly" knob. I thought the best VTA setting was for the arm to be 100% parallel to the record surface.
However, based on some research, I am not so sure that is correct way to set the arm to achieve optimal VTA and correlatively, optimal SRA. Not sure, ... but I think I have to raise the pivot side of the arm.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
