Dynavector DV 505 anti-skating question

I purchased recently a DV505. I'm following the indications in the user manual for setting up correctly all the adjustments.
Concerning the anti-skating I think I have an issue. If I place the anti-skating weight as indicated in the user manual then the correction is too strong pushing the arm back. In fact I can operate without anti-skating at all. Is this pointing a bad setting elsewhere ? I cannot figure out what could be the origin as this arm have few adjustments.
Any idea ?
Thanks a lot

I have a Dynavector 501, and I don't seem to have any issue with anti-skate. I see your 505 has the same anti-skate set up as my 501. I would say to use just enough adjustment to do the job. 

Many folks swear that no anti-skate is best. Just do what works/sounds best.

Good luck, regards,
Dan

abbraxas 49, Manufacturer instructions or recommendation should

be used selective. Those that you like or agree with  you should use and  ignore other. See for example stringreen's differentiation in this sense between the recommended VTF and anti-skate.
