I have the feet that came with the stands, it’s good but it makes moving my speakers very difficult. Because the spikes are attached to the stands and the spikes fit into the pads, I need my partner to move the pads while I lift the speakers.

I like my setup, and it works good in the space I have for now. I will probably get separates one day when I have my own place though.
This is true and I agree to an extent. But we all know that vinyl is not a perfect media and it entails some defects sometimes. Are there more of these in the past years? maybe. It certainly drove me to cherry pick my records more carefully and purchase more quality ones over quantity.
That's why I bought a vinyl flat for. Unless it's super dramatic and makes my needle jump or the arm to ride up and down dangerously, I just flatten them. The only one from these videos I would complain about is probably vid 4, as it may make your needle jump as this seems like a sudden edge...
I started making a video to post here with a pretty poppy and crackly David Bowie record after regular HG use and HG with Triton X-100. Within the first seconds I could tell it didn't make a difference so I stopped filming 😂.
Honestly if I had to start it all again, I think I would invest in a high end digital system and don’t bother with buying records. I’m too deep into vinyl now to change though.
