Is loud needle talk good or bad?

Ok , somewhere in the resonant chain of cantilever-cartridge body-head, shell-arm, arm base is amplifying the vibration of the cantilever . Causing lots of needle talk. So.. Is loud needle talk good or bad? We are talking of a distance of 2 ft or more.

It's only a problem if you can hear it over the rest of your system. :-) Relax, enjoy.

And please don't try any of those "fixes" posted earlier with your particluar arm/cart. Well you can try them, but you'll absolutely hate the results.

Classic literary reference!!

Just ordered a Vector IV tonearm by Basis Audio. We see how it does against the Phantom II on my Debut table.
