Three turntables, five tonearms, two streamers. Streaming accounts for around 1% of my listening time, and it is mainly to see whether I want to buy the LP. My streamers sound good enough. I just loose interest and go do something else. Vinyl glue...

@lewm , my backordered JN-P500 styli have now shipped.

mint best tractor gone?
@rauliruegas , Maybe I just got lucky with the B alignment and associated parameters, and then rushed to judgement. But I certainly prefer how it sounds now, and will keep using B until my “luck” changes.
