Fr24

there is a piece of sliding weight hanging on the outside to balance the bearing.. does that help with anti skating as well? 

some guys did it but after that he say fr24 don't need it after.. all hearsay..

my buddy who tried vpi said better to switch off the antiskate. it will bend the cantilever? any body can verify that?

Thanks all for the response. very helpful

Dear @anthonya : "   does that help with anti skating as well? "

no it does not function for anti-skate.

Too much anti-skate can be just as damaging as too little antiskate. And because the skating force is varying across the surface of an LP at any given moment, finding a setting for anti skate that is just about right, like the temperature of the porridge in the story of the three bears and Goldilocks, is a difficult task, if you worry about it a lot.One way to think about it is if there is audible distortion in the right channel, then you probably should add a little anti-skate force. If you hear audible distortion in the left channel, and you have ruled out other causes, it is possible that you have applied too much anti skate. Just adjust the antiskate to the point where you don’t hear distortion in either channel. That setting won’t be perfect, because there is no perfect. Another bit of gospel about antiskate is that most recommendations for AS as a function of VTF are too high. Use less than recommended.

OK thank you for help

If you don’t use some heavy low compliance cartridge with high tracking force then anti-skating force is very small, especially with advanced stylus profile (normally half of the tracking force). Some nice cartridges track well with only 1.2 g tracking force, anti-staking force in this situation can be as low as 0.6 (if stylus profile is not conical or elliptical).

I have PRO version of FR-64fx now, on this broadcast model anti-skating mechanism removed completely.

I think you can live without anti-skating
