  I have purchased all of the Wally Tools (except the microscope) and sent in my carts to have J.R. analyze them. I’ve never had carts track and sound so good. I’m obviously serious about cartridge set up, and their tools were worth every penny. I am impressed.

  What a fantastically well-done and easy to understand deep dive into cartridges, thank you SO much.

  Every single time I listen (or read) something from J.R. Bosclair I learn something new and important.

  Because of this video,  I have a better listening experience!  I always had my "anti-skate" set the same as the VTF! I set it back quite a bit more,  and the Soundstage opened up before my 👂 ears! And a bit less "inner groove distortion"! Learn a lot!

  Awesome details beyond the standard procedure of mounting cartridges. Like an unlifted treasure which sleeps in the tonearm.

  In regards to hearing differences in SRA by adjusting the arm height: not only is raising/lowering the arm height changing the vertical tracking force, but it is also changing the overhang. Raise the arm, and you’re lowering the VTF and reducing the overhang and vice versa. Changing the overhang will also change the zenith angle. Possibly the azimuth too, but I’m not sure. That’s what people are likely hearing when they change their arm height to optimize SRA.
