RE: I calculated 90.4-degrees...

I think it might be a good idea to shim the cartridge so that you can keep your tonearm level. After all, you're still not close to the desired 92-degrees and you can't go any higher at the tonearm base. Therefore, I would recommend shimming the cartridge to get SRA of 92-degrees with a level tonearm. If for some odd reason it doesn't sound good you can always remove the shims.

The pictures below show what your stylus should look like with the correct 92-degree SRA. It's also okay to go a little higher to about 92.2-degrees because the frictional pull from a spinning LP will reduce SRA slightly.

Good luck,
John Elison
