Hi mijostyn, how ironic I just got that test record today! The last band on side 1 is tough! I've been a fan of the Captain since the 70's. Got to see him 3 times, with Zappa on the Bongo Fury tour at the Trenton War Memorial, at the old Emerald City which was the Latin Casino in the 60's and at the ole Bijou theater in Philly where I live. The Bijou was the best, really intimate and he did the Shiny Beast Bat Chain Puller album. He finally succumbed to MS, which my wife has, terrible disease. Respect.
Inner groove distortion solved!
I started a discussion last Friday about my dissatisfaction with my VPI Prime Sig. with Soundsmith " The Voice" cart and received many kind responses. I untwisted the tonearm cable as you all told me and experimented with real anti-skating. Today I got a blank record and adjusted it so that the tonearm was stationary. Wow, great sound from start to finish! I don't see how VPI can advise their method. I just listened to Hans Theessink and Terry Evans record "Visions" on the Bluegroove label and it's unbelievable. I was familiar with Evans from his work with Ry Cooder since the 70's. I want to thank you all for the info, I tend to shy away from making adjustments to turntables because I thought I would leave it up to the pros. But you guys are truly the pros! Back to listening.
