just an observation for comment


I was giving my 20.00 one year old black crows war paint album a spin , it sounds good but a little muddy, then my 35.00 new copy of the rolling stones exile on main street, better. then my thirty year old 2.99 zz top dequello album, sound quality way better on every level. so much for new tech. im wondering if i should even bother with these 30.00 reissues, and just buy clean used.

I decided to try measuring vtf,at the correct position ,by using a stack of CD's to be about 3mm under the surface on which the record rest's .
The digital scale is quite popular.
Adjusting for 1,75 grm on the CD's ,and then with the scale on the surface where the record rests,read 2,9 grm's.
Which means most of us using this scale, are running our cartridges too light.
