I returned mine. I felt the same as you. It is doing more damage than good. For about the same money I returned and bought at DedicatedAudio.com the walker tube and got 3 VPI elbows and tubes one for each of the steps in the walker prelude system. That eliminates the cross contanimation of fluids I use one for step 1&2 and one each fro 3 & 4. That seems like the best solution to what may note even be an issue with cross contanimation. As fars at the cork isse I use a LP12 felt mat and adjusted the arm accordingly.
Some have had good luck as Rushton indicates and maybe it is better following of instructions or differences in VPI machines as they have made some changes thru then years.
