The twist method is certainly a poor choice. The stiffness of the wire can not be controlled, and, it changes (relaxes) quite readily. The 2nd pivot is a serious improvement - be sure to use the Fozgometer to get the azimuth right. I tried with and without a/s....can't hear a difference. When adjusting the rear of the arm for height, check that the vtf is where you want it. Changing the height changes azimuth as well...check and recheck.
Do you use VPI Anti-skating?
I own a VPI Classic 3. Recently I purchased a Soundsmith cartridge, which Peter Ledderman (the Soundsmith) highly recommends using with anti-skating.
I'm just curious, how many VPI / Soundsmith cartridge users are using the VPI anti-skating? Or, if you are a VPI / Soundsmith owner, and not using anti-skating, what are your experiences?
