Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal"

Good post @ghdprentice  You are surely right about the changes that come with a good vinyl chain. I always know how far up the chain someone has been when they talk about pops & clicks. Its usually not very far  
Anyone use/care to comment on the Pro-ject VC-E RCM?

I see the amp is rated at 50 wpc.@8ohms. The way they post the spec makesme believe that 50wpc is questionable.  I would not look at any speaker with less than 90-91 db sensitivity. 93+ even better. So far, none of the speakers except the Tektons ... 
Walmart, 97 cents, for Vibration Control
