JVC Glass Turntable Platter

thanks all for the enthusiastic discouragement.

I already have a groove-less disc to set anti-skate with, I was just curious, wasn't thinking of buying it.

the crooked cartridge in the blank lp link is a horrible sight.

Elliot, just remember that at the inside of the disc you want to set the antiskate so that the arm drifts ever so slowly towards the spindle. I prefer the test record approach but this is close enough for most people.
The glass anti skate mat is a big no no because the diamond will cut into the glass creating it's own groove. It will also wear down the stylus. Silly idea. I did have a grass turntable mat once. It was covered both sides with felt and it had the right cut outs for the label and disc rim. It worked brilliantly. Actually, I think I still have it somewhere.

Bermuda or St.Augustine?

Hmmmm, grass mat, infested with microscopic creatures trained to clean the grooves, big money there

thanks for anti-skate advice. I use my test records, now the grooveless disk, and then I use my ears as final adjustment confirmation.

using this album, side 2, track 2 and 3 (the only tracks all 3 guitars play together). When just right, amazing imaging.

you can use the cd version to confirm your system is balanced, the lp version to confirm all is well including anti-skate.

And, confirm, LP sounds better than the CD!!!
