Do You Have a Favorite Disk to Set VTA/SRA?


And what, precisely, do you listen for?

I'm with Dougdeacon. I do the same based on the methods he taught me. But what may not be clear is that my collection is divided between five different heights (SRA/VTA angles) ranging in 0.5mm. So if I'm feeling a bit lazy and want to spend the evening listening to say piano sonatas, I will bring down two or three LPs with the same SRA settings so that I don't have to change the VTA for each LP played that evening.

And when I do adjust my arm, it only takes about 20 seconds. Not a big deal. The time consuming part is listening initially for the correct setting and making a note of it for future reference.
Here is another discussion about setting VTA on Whatsbestforum: post #38 is
quite interesting.

The methods may be similar, but it seems that the language used to describe
what to listen for is different.
