Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away!
I know that Im starting a war, but in MY system... with Ortofon Winfield, no a/s sounds better to me.  A/s closes in and shortens the aural picture.  
Best Wireless ear buds for SOUND..??!
I have Grado wired in ear phones and saw they just came out with wireless.   The Grados I have are wonderful...Haven't heard the wireless, but you can buy them on Amazon with a no cost return. 
I must be old
I enjoy CD's also (Ayre silver disc player), but vinyl has more depth, air, realism, that CD's rarely provide (Winfield cart)

List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid
System and I am too old to remember how much I paid for this stuff.   - Vandersteen 5A, Ayre amp, preamp, silver disc player,VPI turntable with 2nd pivot and rim drive with Ortofon Winfield cart, Schroeder cables, Maestro outlets, etc. 
Schumann Resonator
