the way that the stylus moves in the groove in relation to "all of it's physical attitude" effects the way it moves the cantilever. Yes, only a "circle" of contact is always in play but that stylus is vibrating the cantilever with different stresses in effect at different angles. This brings back into play variances of a physical nature outside of that "circle of contact."So it might be possible that some effect might be seen from changing VTA, probablility is another thing. Pleople do say that they hear changes in VTA with the DL-103, for instance. So maybe, just maybe, with certain arms, on certain supported or sprung platforms, there might be a difference.
BTW, those pictures were convincing until I added a stylus and cart body to the picture...not to mention the arm yadda yadda yat.
