Graham Phantom Anti-Skate. Is it effective at all?
Because unipivot arms are balanced on the point of a pin, if the arm is set up properly it will compensate for any nonlinearity elsewhere. 
Unbalanced to balanced VPI junction box change?
I have an XLR junction box...no need to change from Valhalla (unless you want better sound - I had Nordost and now have Discovery...in MY system, it sounds much better). Just get the junction box and install it yourself ..easy to do. 
Graham Phantom Anti-Skate. Is it effective at all?
John ...even your last sentence is wrong. I suspect that there is such a thing as skating force....but it is a very slight, illusive and constant changing force. It is impossible to correct for it and most times it is overcompensated. Why do you s... 
Graham Phantom Anti-Skate. Is it effective at all?
Rockitman...A/S is included with tonearms as a selling point....when skating became the new adjustment of perfection, it was hard to sell an arm without it. In truth, A/S is very illusive...there are so many factors that contribute to it that ther...

Whewe....I have been an exponent of not using a/s for years on these and other pages, only to be rebuked many times over.. Vindication at last...others hear what I hear....improvement with no a/s. ..just to admit to setup deficiency on my part....... 
Big cartridge screws?
Caution....many cartridges have tapped connections which require you to use their supplied screws....otherwise you"re screwed 
New VPI 3D Arm
Hiendmuse....no such issue.... I suspect that you have the larger side weights (the new ones) and I don't. When I sent pictures of my setup, VPI said that my side weights are fine ...but didn't really tell me they are the larger new ones or older ... 
Atlantic City casinos closing...
I don't think the problem is gambling....Atlantic City is just a dump. City fathers thought that the casinos would make A/C another Vegas, but no one upgraded anything outside the casino's doors. Step off the boardwalk and you take your life in yo... 
currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade
Dan....if your VPI arm wobbled you set it or the table itself up wrong. I've had 4 VPI arms....only one wobbled, but because the Superplatter was not built perfectly round...not the fault of the arm. Otherwise, the arm is as solid as any arm when ... 
currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade
Why do you want to upgrade...what is it that you don't like about your system as it stands now 
New VPI 3D Arm
Larryi...it is made that way....read the Fremmer review 
Info on Gingko Cloud 10 & 11?
EBM...do you know that Audiopoints are not the same as they were a few years ago...they've been updated with a bit of iron in the center..then brass...sounds great in my system 
New cartridge
I agree with the Etna, but not XVS....The Dyna is too analytical (not musical enough) for me. I have a Benz LPS and love it. 
Info on Gingko Cloud 10 & 11?
Jim...I never had any luck with these....they made mud of everything. Use AudoPOints. 
New VPI 3D Arm
Good Hiendmuse....without that new counterweight, the 3D arm is a BEAR to adjust properly.
