Anti skating on Michell Tecnodec - Yes No Maybe ?


My Tecnodec has an oem version of the Rega rb250, modified with a Michell tecnoweight and VTA adjustment.

i just reset the VTF, and now I am playing with anti skating.  The dealer told me that he does not use anti skating at all, so it has been set to zero since he mounted the Lyra Delos on the arm 2 years ago.  Now that I am trying to learn the art of cartridge mounting, I am adjusting his handiwork.  I just set the VTF to the exact spec Lyra suggests, and now I am considering anti skating.

the Suggestion is to set the anti skate force to the same as the vtf.  I did this, but the control is not a very accurate / precise device on the arm I have.

how can I see if I have too much anti skate?  When I lower the arm to the record, the arm wants to slide a touch back towards the edge, making it slightly challenging to drop the needle on the record leader without it wanting to slide off!  Is this too much anti skate?  Should I drop it to 1g rather than 1.75?

Raymonda....I suggest suspending your car from a hot air balloon to save wear on your tires and suspension.
Just set it by ear. Now this might be a little complicated because you may prefer different settings with different records. I had this kind of fun but eventually found the best overall point. It was not zero but it was less the half the range.
