I'm scratching my records
Actaually I spoke with Wally a few days ago and had so many questions all over the place I forgot to ask what his anti skate would go fo.But he did say that he heard that VPI was issuing it's own anti skate but he thought his would perform better.... 
What type of turntable should I use?
Just to throw this out.Talked with Wally of Tools fame and he said he thought the 12.5 was superior to 12.6.Didn't get details as I was asking Q's all over the board.And no surprise he thought his anti-skate would outperform VPI's (big surprise).C...
