I like no anti-skate. It's impossible to set it correctly anyway. If you set it at any one point on the record the entire side before and beyond is wrong.Can anyone tell the difference with and without anti-skate? For the Rega problem, I'd check if the arm wire is binding, the cueing is touching, etc.

@mijostyn that is what I’ve been doing with all my turntables, works perfectly. I disregard the recommended anti skate force and just watch how the stylus behaves in the dead wax/runout and set it accordingly. |
@stringreen , as has been discussed hear on numerous occasions, that is a big mistake. No, it is not an exact science but it will greatly improve tracking of the outer groove wall and reduce record wear. Just one episode of mistracking which is literally the diamond bouncing along the groove wall, will damage a record permanently. Anti skating also maintains the correct orientation of the cantilever so that the magnets and or coils remain in proper alignment. Ideally anti skating should be set at 10% of the VTF. |
