Maczurak: Your post confirms exactly what I am saying (however inelegantly) about the VPI anti-skate devise--that it is poorly designed. The mere fact that you (like myself) had to "play with it...for the past several months" and have had to modify both the devise itself and the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer suggests that something is truly amiss. I applaud your persistence but (respectfully) suggest that you remove the devise, twist the wire and see whether you have really gained anything for all your trouble. This devise is for "tweakers" who like to play around with their equipment--a legitimate pursuit for sure. But if you are (like me) part of the "set it and forget it" crowd I'd avoid the anti-skate like the plague.
VPI anti-skate device
I have a VPI scoutmaster wtih JMW9 tonearm. I purchased the add-on anti-skate device and I am having trouble setting it up. I installed it according to the directions I found here: http://www.elusivedisc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HW-JMW1015
However the device is is interfering with the full rotation of the tone arm. The left side protrusion of the tone arm hits the anti skate device. Can some one with a JMW9 and the antiskate device take a picture of their set up and email it to me so I can see what I'm doing wrong?
