I have a Shure M97xe cartridge with a M95g stylus attached that I got second hand with my turntable. When I first got it it did sound great however when dropping the tone arm on the record it would skate forward and start too late. I got a tracking force meter and everything was dialed in correctly. I remedied the issue by adjusting the anti skate a bit higher. My question is are these concrete numbers or because there is some wear on the components with it being a 70s TT can I adjust it as needed to remedy to lurching forward when dropping the stylus. Also if I needed to adjust the anti skate higher should I match the tracking force or should I leave that dialed in and have the anti skate be a bit higher? Thanks in advance for any help.

The Hades tour tickets have been selling poorly, so the prices have been reduced by 50%. If you’re interested in getting tickets, now’s a good time to do so before the prices increase again. It’s a bit disappointing for those who bought during the pre-sale, but it’s a good opportunity for those who haven’t gotten tickets yet.

I still have some thoughts about the Hades tour. I believe they should have chosen more venues, including smaller ones, and spread the tour across more locations. They seemed to be riding the success of the Trilogy Tour and assumed they could sell out arenas for every album, which clearly wasn’t the case.

The prices were comparable to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, which is surprising. It seems like they were trying to minimize the number of shows while maximizing profit, which is lazy and inconsiderate. If they had organized the tour dates with venues that could accommodate 10,000 people or fewer and scheduled more dates, they would have sold significantly more tickets.

Additionally, the prices were double or triple what the Trilogy Tour was, which is another aspect that I find puzzling. At this point, they would be better off cutting their losses and simply changing the tour to a Trilogy Tour + HADES.

EDIT: Ticket sales are venue dependent so not ALL venues have reduced their tickets but many have, so keep checking your local ticket sales to see current pricing. Also I am talking about TICKET MASTER official tickets NOT resale tickets. Be careful when purchasing on any site that is not the official promoter for the tour.
