So if you raise the tail to level the needle must lean forward by an extreme amount then - 6 degrees or so?
Something is not right with that cantilever- possibly bent downward.

Can't set rake angle right even lowest VTA (digital microscope checked)
If I'm not mistaken this is a Fritz Geiger stylus, so very important to know what you are actually aligning to in terms of SRA. Take a look at the following images to see if they resemble your stylus and then set accordingly. I would expect that this may be the problem. If it is indeed this type of stylus it is very different from a typical line contact, elliptical or conical. http://www.whatsbestforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3117&d=1330635579 https://db.audioasylum.com/mhtml/m.html?forum=vinyl&n=927670&highlight=bless+you+Tre&sea... |
@hdm i think you are dead on. I suspect the issue the OP has is that he’s not able to take an accurate measurement. With many stylus profiles it is very hard to see where to draw the line. I used to own an Air Tight in which the back of the stylus was a perfect point of reference. Now I own an AS Palladian with a different profile and cannot get an accurate measurement. I now rely on aligning the tip to pivot. @goldeneardoc is there any chance you can post one of your scope shots? You can add a picture to your virtual system as a way of posting a shot |
@goldeneardoc Your stylus is Nude Fritz Gyger 80 which is similar to Ortofon Replicant 100 stylus. Read this, there are better illustration of what hdm said: https://www.ortofon.com/hifi/products/hifi-cartridges/mc-anna/set-up |
