[QUOTE="LIVESOUND, post: 1098458, member: 778"] The picture showed the stylus set at a right angle to the cantilever. I have never seen this arrangement before as the end of the cantilever is usually flattened or bent to hold the stylus at about 90 degrees to the record when the arm is set level. The stylus itself is commonly recommended to be set at 92 degrees to the record surface. I have always understood that that angle is measured from the record surface to the centre line of the stylus - not the cut facet at the back of the diamond as indicated in the picture. This makes it wildly different to what I have regarded as the norm. By the way, you would have to lower, not raise, the arm to reduce the SRA. [/QUOTE]
