VTA and SRA?

Can anyone explain what the difference is? Or are they a horse of another color? Thanks!

Changing SRA without simultaneously changing VTA would require altering the angle between the stylus and cantilever... not recommended. ;-)

Could be why I never bothered to look any further than VTA. BTW, VTA adjustment on the fly is the main reason I went with the Graham. Learned this a long, long time ago with my Magnepan Unitrac I.
