| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment I have not used anti-skate since I got my vpi classic 2 with the JWM-10.5. I did use it on pro-ject table with a 9 inch tonearm. If you need it, use it. | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? Keep the post coming, I'm getting lots of useful info. Thinking about an upgrade myself. Running a Jolida JD9, vpi classic 2 and ortofon quintet black. Looking the parasound jc3+ or the jr. Going to research the puffin. Thanks for all the pos... | |
| Music I would succumb to under torture Scream metal would be the only thing I would call torture. I like anything with a good beat. Rap has good beats but I can not relate to the lyrics. Look up the suicide song on google. That's a pretty cruel test, It's all off key. I think it i... | |

| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? For my low end budget, I finally got some mmg's. Only had them about 2 years, work great in the bedroom. When the budget allows I'll upgrade to bigger maggies. Love the mid-range and treble. | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black Can your phono-pre amp do mc? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Trying to find 80's and 90's and later Prog. Streaming on spotify. Listening to Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson. Any suggestions for some new artist to listen to? Thanks | |
| The Science of Cables Just listen to the music and enjoy. Everything is subjective, it is what sounds best to the listener. You'll drive yourself insane or broke going for that perfect sound. Just get good equipment, and budget a percentage of budget to speaker wire... | |
