RE: REVIEW: VPI Industries Prime Turntables

I should have read your post yesterday. Yesterday I played with tracking using an Accu-Trac protractor. First I checked to see how far off my cartridge was as it was set with a 258 mm protractor. A very small amount, perhaps the thickness of the line outside the arc on the inner part. Two hours later it was spot on. If that much difference matters I can't hear it. Then I redid the alignment using the Stevenson method because that is what I used for years and because it was a rainy day anyway. The Stevenson method sounds better on the inner most part of the record where the grand finale on many classical pieces is found. Otherwise, for jazz and classical the Baerwald sounds a wee bit better. Not a big deal either way. I agree with you about azimuth and VTF as being more important. Personally, I think a bigger difference than any of this is getting the speed stable with either an SDS or the Phoenix Engineering stuff. That is my opinion anyway and I am sticking with it.
