Halleluia - finally someone with some ears! I, too, wonder about the
golden-eared people out there who can't hear the damn tone arm going in
and out - sharp and flat.

Ha!

I had a Dual once that had a spindle that you could move side-to-side a
little and thus center the grooves if they weren't too bad.

Yes! I was told of one reissue person who, when told of his transfer
with badly off-center grooves, could absolutely not hear what the
problem was. Just a little drives me nuts. All my LPs have enlarged
holes so I can get the grooves centered - Yes, ALL of them. I've never
seen one that is perfect.

Cheers,
