Rake Angle?

You checked VTA but did you check rake angle?

In an ideal world if VTA is right then so is rake angle but due to manufacturing tolerances, this will often (perhaps usually) not be the case.

With a line contact cartridge it's rake angle not VTA that determines how the contact line matches the groove modulations and the general consensus apppears to be that rake angle is far more important than VTA.
