Anti-skating adjustment REGA RP6

Would it be accurate to adjust the anti-skating using an LP with no music inscribe on one of its face, and playing it and looking what is the movement of the turntable arm, and ajust the anti-skating so that the arm stay stable on the LP ?

That’s how I do it. I use a blank sided LP!

can you really tell when anti-skate is set up properly?  To ME, the music sounds the same no matter what anti-skate or even no anti-skate is utilized.   The big dog in arm setup is azimuth....that really makes a difference.

Use a blank LP and the arm should remain stationary.

You do better use Hi-Fi Test LP with 4 bands dedicated to anti-skating set up on different tone signal amplitude.
