"Fleib- sorry, your provocative post, though oozing with sarcasm, clearly missed it's mark. Instead of answering the op's question, your confrontational style proves to be an immediate turn-off. Is it really necessary to insult people to make your point or is this just your style? I'm sure your "expertise" as regards turntables is irreproachable, (" no VTA is the donkey kong of mistakes") but not everyone needs VTA; many manage without it just fine. I am one of them. I also own a Rega table which I love; in fact I sold my TW Acustic Raven One and purchased an RP6 which gives me every bit as much pleasure as the Raven with a lot less hassle and expense. Not to be overly dogmatic here, but people come to this hobby for many different reasons and each derives pleasure in their own way. No one needs to be told that your way is the "right way".
And, by the way, if we want your opinions on cigars and addiction, I doubt we'll look for it on the forum.
