Quandry

About a year ago I bought a new turntable (Dr. Feikert Volare) and complementary equipment. I had it assembled by a local technician as I have two left thumbs when it comes to DIY. (I know this is not a good trait for a turntable owner to have.)
I’ve been dissatisfied with the sound for some time. But I recently discovered that by tweaking the anti-skating, the sound improved dramatically. I’m now wondering what other parameters have changed during the past year.
So, not being able to tweak those other parameters myself I’m thinking of hiring the technician to come to my home to work on it. Since it sounds so good now, I’m wondering if it’s worth the expense. (He won’t be cheap.)

Sorry for the spelling error.  I should know better.

Newbee,

you’re right, it’s already begun.  
But this time, my eyes are open.

I’m in New York.
But the guy I go to is super good too, and he’s ten minutes from my house.

Anyway, I’m currently listening to audiophile records (something I wasn’t previously doing) and they sound spectacular. I might not need any adjustments.

Further down the rabbit hole.

It is very hard to avoid that hole.

I’m so happy with the sound of my records now that I see no need for any further adjustment.

More to discover
