Has anyone got any experience with these, specifically the Hi Fi World issue. Are they any good? Do they work? Do you have to be one of lifes tweakers? I read the description of the afforementioned and did not understand a word of it! How easy are they to use?

I wasn't aware that Hi Fi World had a test record, but I'm quite familiar with the LP available from Hi Fi News and Record Review. I think its an absolutely essential tool for anyone with a turntable. Its anti - skating test bands are unique I think and worth the price of the record by themselves. Buy two copies and put one away for the future for when you've worn out your first copy. Buy a third copy to sell to a desperate audiophile on Ebay in 2015 to pay for your child's university education.

I meant Hi-fi News! The thing is I have had a fiddle with my tracking and anti-skate but I am not sure what difference it has made. I think it is very difficult to do this by ear on regular recordings - I think I will have to take the plunge! Is it as easy to use as they say?
