VTA for a Dynavector 20X2L


Anyone have recommendations for the optimum VTA for the Dynavector 20x2? It's not that easy to adjust my tonearm so I want to start with a base of experience. Thanks.

@Austinbob- Not to be contentious, but- while having the tonearm parallel with the record is always THE place to start, VTF(too much or too little) can take VTA/SRA out of optimal angle easily. The Dyna's compliance of 12x10-6cm/dyn, isn't terrible low(not stiff). By all means- start with the tonearm parallel, but also take a close look at your stylus, and attempt to adjust it perpendicular to the record groove, assuming you're not trying to achieve the(purportedly) optimum 92 degree SRA(which can be much more involving). Of course- the last step should be spinning vinyl, making adjustments and letting your ears be the final arbiters. Happy listening!
