[QUOTE="Ingvar Ahlberg, post: 1098450, member: 15447"] Generally the stylus tip should be mounted on the cantilever with a position that sets the VTA/SRA correctly when the top of the cartridge body is parallell to the record surfce, otherwise not correctly assembled, IMO. In the case in the picture this looks like VTA is 24.2 instead of standard 20 degrees, if so the arm should be raised slightly, this must be tested by listening, as we normally have no measuring devices for this, You can calculate the raise thou using the distance from stylus tip to arm bearing rotational point, measure height to arm vertical bearing point, recalculate the length of hypotenuse with 24.2 instead of 20 degrees, the You get the additional height to raise the vertical bearing point of the arm.
