RE: SRA and VTA (What do you see?0

You have to get the view exactly side on like John's excellent photos. At the moment, the parallax error is too large to make any judgement of any kind.
The degree to which the SRA really matters depends on the tip profile. For example, if you have a Shibata, you cannot possibly determine the SRA unless you have sufficient magnification to see the cut itself; given the curving line, you also need to see the contact portion to determine the SRA.

Presumably it sounds off to you if you are asking the question?
Remember that unless you compensate for individual record thickness you are sort of wasting your time obsessing about any error you are hearing with a particular record! You would only be optimising for that one record and since the standard allows for a variation from 0 to 5 degrees, the "recommended" 2 degree angle is at best an average. You are always bound to get an outlier that sounds off even with the best alignment.
