Use or will use having top tonearm like Sat,EliteAxiom,Black Beauty,Durand

I tried it a couple of years ago. There was another video by sound-smith back then. It’s;
- extremely ineffective,
- false,
- no logic behind,
- impossible to set anti-skating the way it’s explained in the video. Only a vague description about how fast stylus moves in the runout area.
- no way of knowing if stylus is moving fast or slow because of anti-skating or catching etched numbers on the runout area.

These are the deficiencies I can remember now. It’s very unfortunate for sound-smith to recommend anything like that.
