lots of detailed threads on this subject. but in a nutshell, VTA (vertical tracking angle) sets the Stylus tracking angle or in other words sets the angle the needle lays in the groove. It along with azimuth and overhang ensures the needle gets to the bottom of the groove, and is able to pick up all the information the groove has to offer. With most cartridges, the sound stage will open up, the balance of highs, lows and mids will be best resulting in a high quality of sound. VTF or tracking force is the other "knob" that dramatically influences this. Walker audio (website) has a very simple way to set up your system. Once set, you do not have to tweak it (unless you are one of those who cant keep your hands off the player)

Try it, you will like it
