VPI non-Anti Skate Q
I think it's not a universal for all VPI arms and carts, but I am using a Signature 21 as well without the anti-skate engaged. However, when setting up my table the dealer set up the anti-skate using the wally tools skater tool. This showed that i... 
Phono Stage
From the OPs list, I only have experience to two of the items, but I think they are relevant and important.  I believe at this stage the Sutherland 20/20 is the single longest standing piece of equipment in my system. I've had it through two turn... 
Which Cartrudge For My Upcoming Technics 1200 GR 2 Turnable - Looking at Ortofon 2m Black
Are you using the phono in the Luxman and do you want to stick with a MM cart?  If things are already on the bright side, and you aren’t looking for audiophile sound, I’m sure 2M black is the first place I’d look.  Something from the Grado Timbre... 
Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One
After a couple years of debating and financial side tracks, my internal debate has come to an end. I worked with a great VPI dealer, and I got in touch with him about either a Prime X or a Forever Model One, but it was just the right time when he’... 
Auralic Vega verses LTA Aero
The Vega obviously does more being a streaming DAC, and I remember those sounding quite good. It’s been too long to between to really compare them. But to me the LTA is a pretty special DAC. I don’t own one, but I’ve been highly impressed with eve...

Can Qoboz Connect sound better than Qobuz viz Aurender Conductor?
I have done a demo in my own room comparing Cambridge Stream Magic, Qobuz Connect and JPlay. I have done similar demos in other systems.  My quick learning is that Qobuz Connect sounds better than the software used by any streaming manufacture. I... 
Are active speakers worth it now?
I think the implementation is everything. I heard John Devore speak recently, and I really liked his take on speakers and amps. He said you have never really heard a specific speaker or amp, without the other. It requires a speaker and amp to comp... 
My retirement table finally
I can’t tell if some of these responses are trolling, or if they think this is actual production footage.

Even knowing this was AI, I found myself continuing to watch it while being captivated by the quality of some AI videos.   
VPI bearing and platter swap - inquiry
100% just call VPI  
Which turntable is better?
I have narrowed down choices to Mofi Ultradeck, Rega Planar 6 and Technics SL-1200GR2. Back in 2018 I demoed the Ultradeck, 1200GR (original), and Rega P6.  I’ll start off by saying there are no wrong answers here. All great tables.  Now before...

How do I choose a tonearm cable?
Here’s how I approach it. First and foremost, set your budget. Sky is the limit so it’s better to have a guideline to narrow things down.  Next is to set a strategy:  1. Best you can find from a reputable company on the used market.  2. Somethin...
