I suppose I was briefly tripping over nandric’s last post thinking maybe he was referring to me specifically?? (which was ok if he was) but I take it now that he either meant it in general or had someone else in mind (and that Richard’s post at 7:04 might be echoing that). Sorry for any confusion...it’s way late for me though, I work 2nd shift so I’m turning in. Cheers to all.

This is all weird, but...Maybe with the headshell tightened you are getting mechanical vibrations that you may not know about causing distortion. Loosening the headshell may be dealing with some of those vibrations. You may receive even greater nirvana by tightening things up again, and dealing with possible mechanical noise coming from below. This of course is pure speculation.

The biggest frustration by inventors is the case when their

experiments by which something new is discovered can't be

reproduced by others with the same result. However this is or

should be the usual practice. One can of course complain by

his mom who will declare those others for ''nitwits'' or ''envious

scum'' . I mention my mom deliberately because my dad always

believed the others more.
