Thanks all. I did watch the Lederman video yet again and took millers advice and put on a record that has a demanding passage at the end. There was breakup in the left channel so I made small adjustments until the distortion was minimal and both channels were relatively equal. I can be anal lewm, just ask my wife, but I listen carefully and if I don't feel that I am getting the most from my rig I am bothered. With all of your help I think I am much happier. Happy and healthy New Year to all.
Inner groove distortion solved!
I started a discussion last Friday about my dissatisfaction with my VPI Prime Sig. with Soundsmith " The Voice" cart and received many kind responses. I untwisted the tonearm cable as you all told me and experimented with real anti-skating. Today I got a blank record and adjusted it so that the tonearm was stationary. Wow, great sound from start to finish! I don't see how VPI can advise their method. I just listened to Hans Theessink and Terry Evans record "Visions" on the Bluegroove label and it's unbelievable. I was familiar with Evans from his work with Ry Cooder since the 70's. I want to thank you all for the info, I tend to shy away from making adjustments to turntables because I thought I would leave it up to the pros. But you guys are truly the pros! Back to listening.
