VTA for Sumiko tonearm?
If you wish to persist in this neurotic behavior then, yes, buy a Jelco with the adjustable VTA!

VTA is something that is best set so that the majority of LPs sound just fine. A set-and-forget thing! You will drive yourself nuts trying to. optimize VTA for every LP! 
Caster Wheels vs. Spikes
No difference unless your floor is slanted! Another neurotic concern!  
The Science of Cables
So why not make IC's out of Litz wire!? According to Schroeder's hypothesis this should have the same benefits. Multiple conduction paths! 
The Science of Cables
@millercarbon: That already exists! Litz wire! I had speaker cable made of that back in '78. Polk Cobra cable! Worked fine, didn't damage my GAS Son amp from the extra capacitance! 
What brand was better than it is today?
Altec Lansing! Now reduced to sell desktop speakers! So pitiful! Glad I have my vintage Santana's, Segovia's and Stonehenge's!  
Massive, one-of-a-kind record collection for sale!
I used to haunt my local GoodWill years ago. When they sold LPs for 50 cents! Bought a thousand + ! All good stuff!  
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
"Starf*cker, starf*cker star" - from the Rolling Stones' song "Star Star" off of Goat's Head Soup! In fact, those are the only words in the whole song! I have the LP! Mick, what were you thinking? 
Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective
"Surgically romantic" - Harry Pearson's description of the GAS Ampzilla in a TAS review published in 1976! This one mystifies me! Wish I had an Ampzilla! Still have two Son's and a Grandson!

I bought several classical LPs from Harry Pearson's collection. They didn't cost me much! 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
Better not let your wife find out that you spent $4K on a cable! Mayhem may ensue! 
Why all or most audiophiles are men?
Women are the saner half of the species! 
Everything Matters
Balls to the wall! 
My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs
Don't fall for the belief that "boutique" gear is always better!

Get two Crown XLS1502's ($400 each) and a Crown x - over! This combination will get the job done!
