| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Many of the voters on here can't possibly be rock fans voting for bands like Zep, Black Sabbath, Dylan, Floyd, ACDC. If you don't like these then you don't like Rock - so quit giving input on a rock thread and go listen to your jazz or easy listen... | |
| MM cart recommendations for VPI Scout TT I have a Sonata 1 on my scout and I thinks it's pretty fab. No problems with dancing, humming or anything else. No extra weight needed, but I think the Sonata is heavier than the Gold. Previously I had Ortofon 2M Bronze, which I enjoyed but I like... | |
| Which MM cartridge? I recently picked up a used Grado Reference Sonata 1 and I like it better than any other MM cart I've heard, including the Ortofon 2Ms. Great value if you can find a good one used. | |

| Advice on mistracking or some problem I have tried VTF between 1.6 and 2.2. VTA is maybe slightly lower on pivot end. I'll be getting another cartridge to test with soon. Anti-skate doesn't seem to make any difference. | |
| VPI Scout - Cartridge Issues Thanks for the ideas everybody. | |
| returning vinyl for warpage? I have purchased three lps on a well-known label lately and all three were warped out outer edge. One was the worst I have ever seen. 3/3 warped on this label (won't say who because I wrote a post about it before that the moderators apparently did... |
