Why are modern arms so ugly?
Ugly is ugly. I never did like that stream-lined look. If you put a grill on the front you could call it a 1950's Studebaker, or some fins on the ass end and call it a 59 Caddy.

Skating force at 45rpm
Best way to test your theory is to play other 45's in your stash and see if they also like more AS. My bet is that this is one LP you have found that likes a bit more AS, and it just happens to be a 45. 
Why aren't the older members still active ?

Who tweaks VTF too?
Some of us have been doing this for a long time, and I know some who record this information for each LP. I thought you understood that. I keep o-rings to add to the arm stub of my Triplanar and my Talea has finite tracking force adjustment. Howev...

Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to

Strange Klipsch thing
Wow! Unsound, we seem to have found a patch of muddy, swampy, common ground. NO PUSHING! ;-)Bravo, Russ69!Coloration is NOT a four letter word and every system adds it to some degree or the other. Embrace the coloration your speakers and room crea... 
HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps
Real cart/arm mismatches are rare these days and hard to accomplish unless one is intentionally doing so. Am I one of the few guys who has the usual number of slightly warped LPs in his collection. That is THE #1 cause of woofer pumping, IME. Gene...
