In Reply to: RE: consensus on SRA? posted by ringwear on August 23, 2015 at 20:02:52
Is this a conical or spherical stylus? If so, you don't have to worry about SRA. You need to worry about SRA only for a stylus with an elongated vertical footprint.

It's a Soundsmith elliptical retip. Won't suffer as much as the HE or Shibata [from your graphic] but a better SRA may make a difference.I did find a good headshell of same weight that mounts the cartridge higher than the Technics. Not sure why I thought of that but after comparing it looks like the Technics mounts cartridges lower than any other headshell I have here: Sumiko, Ortofon, DIY, standards from turntables from Yamaha and Pioneer.
Don't know if there is an engineering reason behind Techniocs design but just as a data point looks like if you want to get a better SRA changing headshells from a Technics to almost anything, as well as mats, will work.

You'll never get the SRA right on that cartridge. The cantilever/stylus assembly is designed for 20-degrees VTA and the DL-103 has 15-degrees VTA. Peter was gluing the ruby cantilever line contact assemblies in at 20-degrees in order to achieve correct SRA, but it appears your aluminum cantilever with elliptical stylus has be installed at 15-degrees. Therefore, you will never get correct SRA unless you tilt the entire cartridge nose down by 5-degrees. That's probably not possible.
Good luck,
