Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away!
..one more thing.....are you sure your Ortofon is not bent/broken/etc.

MillerCarbon may have something here.   What I hear is that with a/s, the spaces around the instruments are  more filled in.....it may be resonance with the a/s device.  (I have one of those VPI arms with 2nd pivot).  Once you hear the effect, its... 
Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing??
In my experience, that would do little, glass windows are no good, even with the blinds drawn.  I found putting rug in front of the speakers helpful.

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) 
System Enhancement CD
I have the Purist Audio, and the Ayre CD's .    The Ayre works better in my system than does the Purist. 
Spectral or Ayre (combo)
I have an all Ayre system.....recommend them highly

The Benz is a very good cartridge.....I don't think you'll get what you suspect by getting a better table. 
moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's
I would get out of the apartment and get a house.....and do as I want. 
Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...?
all cables sound different in different systems.....price is not the determination. 
Is this Cartridge Alignment good?
Doesn't look right to me.....get a magnifying glass 
Speaker Spike Philosophy
I tried getting my Vandersteens off of their spikes and on to Herbies something or other.  The experiment was a disaster....absolutely ruined the sound after trying to get the very heavy speakers in place. 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
All cables sound different in different systems.....you have to listen and decide for yourself

The problem (other than the money), is that all cables sound different in different systems.   Get a boatload of different ones and try them yourself.
