I’ve bought myself a HiFi News Vinyl Test LP. How successful are members with mastering the tracking of the “torture track”? ------------- Ifor ===== Reflex M & ACCESSION M, CuSat50, Majestic DAC, a Proprius pair. |

Not tried the toughest one but I am curious to see how a linear tracker does, Ifor. How did you get on with your AM6? ------------- Jon Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC. |

FWIW none of my arms/carts passed it. But it hasn't spoiled my listening either. ------------- Jon Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC. |

that’s interesting to know. I don’t think I’ll try again. ------------- Ifor ===== Reflex M & ACCESSION M, CuSat50, Majestic DAC, a Proprius pair. |

Well not without extra downforce and antiskate that didn't sound good on music. ------------- Jon Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC. |

Never had anything pass the torture track on the HiFi News test LP. I don't use that LP much anymore & generally just prefer to use music. Glad you like the AM6. ------------- Majestic/Enigma, Accession MM & MC. |
