Anti skate. I think something's wrong
Sorry, Lew M, can I cite age as the main factor in my mistake? 
Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved
Van Morrison's "Common One".  I've only heard it on vinyl, and it became a cutout.  I played "Into the Music" by Van too many times to give it an objective opinion.  Thanks for the info on Peter Green having 3 solo albums(I thought he only had 2.). 
Anti skate. I think something's wrong
Lewn, while theory is a good place to start experiments, you still have to try it out in real life.  While it's possible that Peter Lederman was predisposed to look for that asymmetrical stylus wear to prove what he believed, it's also possible(an... 
Anti skate. I think something's wrong
Blueranger, I think you are correct about checking the level of your turntable.  I think that's most likely the problem, when you have a quality arm, yet have to put AS at it's maximum. 
Anti skate. I think something's wrong
It's been awhile since I adjusted AS, but maybe(and this is done with a gimbaled tonearm) my final result, which was just less than where the sound becomes locked in(in a way-maybe where everything, like channel balance, seems to be correct), has ...

Stringreen, have you given thought that your take on anti-skate might apply more to uni-pivots than to gimbaled tonearms? 
Anti skate. I think something's wrong
It's been awhile since I did anti-skate, but I remember one thing.  Do not use anti-skate for any other reason(like channel balance) than what is the best setting for the just the anti-skate alone.  I think you get close to the correct anti-skate,... 
Do you like Mexican music??
I like first(in the U.S.) generation Mexican musicians like Jerry Garcia and Carlos Santana.  Does that qualify? 
klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I believe Magico's reference speakers were horn loaded. 
Rega Planar 3 upgrades help.
I'm thinking you want to brag about the fantastic deal you made, and in that light, I want to be the first to congratulate you. 
Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table
bpolleti, have you heard a Linn lp12 SE?  I think it's competitive with other high-end turntables out there, even though it was first made many years ago. 
Tonearm recommendation
Good job, Don.  You, at least, give a basis for how to set up the arm/cartridge.  Some of that information can only be gathered by someone who has actually done a good job at the set up.  Earlier, someone quoted that bass below 100hz was mono.  I ... 
Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's?
That YouTube video is not how I remember It.  She sang flat much more, when I heard it.  There are no feeds into her ear, that I could detect.  
Tonearm recommendation
While I love how digital keeps improving, assuming it is perfect Is a non-starter for me.  I guess, when digital sound, near its beginning, reminded me of AM radio, but was called, "perfect sound forever", it has left me skeptical.  
Tonearm recommendation
Raul, I can see, in theory, why static balanced would be superior, but I wonder if just a little resistance, provided by some dynamic balancing, might actually work better in practice(as advocated by the 1/3 dynamic argument).  That might provide ...
