Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable?
You can use the Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube. It works quite well notwithstanding it is a digital processor. It does have a analog override when you don't need it.

The vinyl does sound damaged especially on the right channel. Decca sounds the most live and immediate with good depth although it really picks up that surface noise. MC almost sounds like there's dirt on the stylus. Azden is in between. 
Schitt turntable anyone?
The whole under the arm part where cables come and go looks a bit fussy and yes, I can see this being a small issue. 
Schitt turntable anyone?
An old Nagaoka MP11! Did not cue up. Tracking was excellent. They played Dark Side Of The Moon. 
Axpona 2019
Most satisfying: the Acora Acoustics room with their $28k granite speakers playing the analog remaster of Gary Karr 1981 Albinoni Adagio in G minor was wonderful. 
Schitt turntable anyone?
Heard the Schiit Sol at AXPONA. Looks a lot more expensive than the proposed $699 retail and sounds great. The arm alone looks complex yet elegant and well engineered. This must be a loss-leader.  
Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!!
Interesting read. Not for me. I enjoy the subtle psychological torture from pops and ticks. Tenacious. They really should bring you out for drinks.

Jelco Easy VTA on the Fly
You can't have both. The EasyVTA includes a special base which apparently has "tighter tolerances" than the standard Jelco collar. No idea how it compares to the Ammonite base. (I have 2)If you want er, easy VTA, this is the best way to do it.

Had a quick listen at the office on Sennheiser headphones. I can hear greatness in the London and lighter, sharper transients in the AS. I had a look over the other videos and see the London is in the FR66 on the Raven, all the time. As I mentione...

I’ll listen later. But for now, I see the Decca is in the belt drive. Is this the same video we saw before? If so, it might explain the slight softness and lack of detail I heard. I think the Decca excels when in an idler (or perhaps a DD) with no... 
Problems with Naim app
I had issues like this once - random dropped connections on wi-fi devices. Eventually, I replaced my Netgear router with a Cisco unit which solved all issues. $90 well spent.

Looking forward to more comparisons. Frogman summed it up. Always a great read. Thanks for the compliment Halcro. I'm partial to your Ketty Lester Love Letters track. I was somewhat disappointed by the London Reference when you played it before. I...
