Analogue from Digital
Hi, interesting thread here.   It's interesting to know that a lot of the vinyls out there are created from digital recordings these days.   That just seems stupid to me.  I can't see how such vinyls can beat the digital products created from the ...

Tonearm and Anti Skate Question
Thanks everyone for your answers. I might take a look at the "fishing line". It might be stuck. Maybe I should try some lubrication.Actually, I don’t think I hear the difference between various anti-skate settings, or without anti-skate. Maybe I d...
