clearaudio turntables vs vpi
Thanks for the insight. I talked to Harry about the performance upgrade to the Superscout with the mag drive...he said it was a huge difference. Personally I couldn't see how it could make such a difference since the mag drive would eliminate vert... 
VPI classic 3.0 Signature anti-skate.
Disagree....all my cartridges sound better on my 3D or 10.5 with no antiskate. To me, antiskate sounds like excessive damping is in place....not for me. 
Clear Day XLR
Thanks Vito....just as a precaution to others....(I use silver cables too) Sometimes silver can be unnaturally favorable to highs (thinking of Nordost and others in MY system). Cables always sound different in different systems. Its wise to live w...

Thanks Hiendmuse....was wondering if its worth replacing my Superscout Rim Drive, Classic platter, 3D arm with the mag drive. I understand it will be about 6000 dollars... The rim drive has better "flow" than the belt tables..even the Classic...ju...

Why worry now...they're improving. Just listen and enjoy without criticism. 
Admittedly a bit lost

VTA for a Dynavector 20X2L
Sometimes its very difficult to find what horizontal is. The SME V prints a horizontal line on the arm...very useful. The are arms that are not all that easy. Horizontal is a good place to start if it can be found. 
new Cadenza Blue issue?
Mistakes happen...only God is perfect. My cartridge was delivered to me that was internally wired wrong....don't ya just wonder... 
VTA for a Dynavector 20X2L
The difference between being almost right, and being right is enormous. Be mindful of every parameter of tonearm setup to fully appreciate what it can do. It might take a month of tinkering with all the adjustments, but to get it right should be y... 
What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP
Moonglum.....what in the world were you listening to. My VPI is as quiet as a CD (though much better sound). Something is very wrong here..... 
Turntables
I agree with Inna.. 
Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's
Using the rear tweeter negates the Vandersteen science. The speakers are instantly defective.
