Anti-skate

Hey, as a long time methamphetamie user, I am offended by your comments. Bottom line, the inner grooves will sound worse for, at least, two reasons.

First, there is less resolution to the groove, a shorter amount of information passes the stylus in a revolution of the inner groove than the outer. Less data, as it were.

Second, the radius of curvature is greater, making it harder for the cartridge to accurately track the groove. Think of a car driving around a corner, with me at the wheel hopped up on crank. The sharper the corner, the greater the chance that I will be driving off of the road. Of course, if this were reality, I would just smoke a few hits of black tar heroin and mellow out and slow down. I don't want you to think that I act irresponsibly in real life.

I guess I forgot about the heroin effect.

Memory lapse.

A direct result of too much dope smoking.

Ghost_rider, I didn't mean the rest of your system isn't pretty darn good; I just meant that your analog looks like it is just starting(based on your "System"). For some reason the following idea sticks in my head. I use a Mana Sound Table for my Linn Sondek, and while I think it's better than Mapleshade's maple board and rubber-cork-rubber footers, I feel that Mapleshade makes a pretty darn good turntable platform.

Mmakshak I just got back from a vacation so have not followed the last bit of threads. I am still working on the process of listening and comparing. I have not had much time since i was away. That being said, while on vacation I did find a choice record shop in the Okanogan valley with lots of used LP's from the 70's and 80's. needless to say tonight it will be all to much fun dialing it all in (or at least trying)
