It happened again tonight
Just gave it a spin. Love it. Bought it when it was released. The Berlin Wall Waters DVD is worth checking out. And we're still fighting fascism, nationalism, and foolhardy stupidity.

Recommendation on a basic turntable setup
Pioneer PLX1000 with a Nagaoka MP110 and a Schiit Mani phono amp. You'll also need a good interconnect from Mani to your preamp.

Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer?
Communist Chinese VirusLOL. Disinfectant.  
Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer?
The older and richer I've grown, the more frugal I have become. My car is old. My clothes are threadbare, and I don't want to spend money on expensive kit. I don't even care about not spending the kids' inheritance.  What is wrong with me?

Jelco VTA on the fly
You are correct. Yes, I've seen it. It looks somewhat cumbersome. your experience crosses it off my list! Let's know if you get it working smoothly. 
Jelco VTA on the fly
Note that this is not a Jelco product but a third party accessory.  I have heard from a reliable contact about the sticking and also loud noise through the arm when adjusting on the fly. I have four Jelco arms. 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
My $2600 phono amp improved by a notable amount by replacing the power cord with a $39 OFC cable with rhodium-plated plugs. The manufacturer should supply a better cable than the standard dollar cable.
