Raking Angle


Do you all setup you analog systems so that the raking angle of the stylus is perpendicular to the record surface? I'm having a hard time achieving such an angle due to the design of my tonearm and cartridge and believe this may be the cause of some slight sibilance in the sound.

Try a thicker mat,or a few records stacked carefully,to raise the cartridge to see if that is the problem.I don't know if that will change it(SRA)enough,but it's a quick easy experimental trial.
You can also put a spacer under the rear of the cartridge to change the rake. This will change the angle without moving the tonearm.

Audiofeil yes they are very different but they are both adjusted by the same means<<

I did not say they were adjusted differently.

What's your point?
I think the spacer would be the most logical choice. Any ideas on what would make a good spacer? I'm thinking maybe take some sheet metal, measure, and cut. Could insert more than one piece to get to the desired angle.
