VTA - High, Low, Where You go?

Risch's article is great, but don't forget his P.S.:

"... must be getting old! I went over my old notes on SRA single adjust set it and leave it angle, it is 2 degree foward, not 1 degree. The memory ain't what it used to be. Sorry for any inconvenience this may ahve casued anyone. Found the old card I had made up to set up my turntable, yep, 2 degrees.

Even with a maglight and loupe I can't really spot the contact lines on my Shelter stylus. I just fudge it by judging the angle of the stylus in general, which I guess Jon's post allows.

Newbee, when I discuss specs, should I mention the thick audiophile thingies resting on my nose?

Dougdeacon, No need for that but you might warn us if you have those thick non- audiophile amplifiers old folks stick in their ears! :-)

I haven't figured out a way to gauge how much but I'm pretty sure I'm using pos VTA. I started with the "level to the platter" standard and just kept lifting slightly during an afternoon of listening. It seems to me that I raised the pivot up quite a bit, but then I really like to listen for that ringing decay off the cymbals and the click of the pick on the strings. Some might think it a tad bright, but I love the details and still get good deep bass.

Yep, I've read Risch post and TWL's posts many times on this subject. I have learned to do most all adjustments by ear. However, I'll admit that I'd be hard pressed to see the attitude of my stylus with the Hubble!
