Thanks for all the great replies and suggestions. This anti skate makes much more sense now. Ozzy, I took it off the MDF plinth & put it on my rack & it does sound pretty good. I can't tell if I am telling myself it sounds better, but it seemingly does. I will look into the neuance shelf when funds allow. I have to grow my vinyl collection now that I know how this tt sounds setup. There really is a high res format with more than a few titles I am interested in. Finally! I am thinking I should probably place upgrades in the following order (please feel free to make suggestions): VPI RCM, Phono stage, cartridge, neuance shelf. Does that order sound right? I have a new Spacedeck, 10" Anna tonearm, Dynavector 20xh, & using the built-in MM phono stage of my DK Design integrated currently. Would you analog experts upgrade in a different order???? Thanks for helping me enjoy this hobby. Big thanks to my friend and Audiogon member Lincolnl for helping me get this set up.
