Some of the Micro Seiki arms have 'on-the-fly' adjustments for VTA. I know, for example, the MA-505 variants have this, as well as the MA-808. The 'on-the-fly' adjustment is more micro in nature. You have to get it close first with a macro adjustment, raising or lowering the pivot and pillar, then using the set screws. After that, it can be tweaked with micro adjustments using a rotating/sliding arm lever that will lock into place.
Personally, I only look at SRA. I want to see the stylus tilting just forward of vertical - about 92 degrees. I don't worry about the cantilever's angle, or even the levelness of the tonearm to the platter (except as a starting point). I know some, more exotic, stylus profiles don't follow the 92 degree rule based on the actual cut, but it's a good general rule.
P.S. @millercarbon, Isn't it 'newbs', as in, short for 'newbies'? I know 'noobs' is perhaps more phonetically sensible, but...
