ANTI-SKATE involved in the ASSERTIONS (aka ''premise''). We all
think in the same way: from premise to conclusions or deduction.
The DIFFERENCE is DIFFERENT PREMISES. In this context
the LOGIC rules: wrong premise = wrong deductions or conclusions,
There is consensus in our forum that there is no consensus about
anti-skate.
My first test record contained an part between grooves without grooves.
The so called ''blank-side''. To get the ''right skate'' the stylus should
stay in the same position; aka no skating of any kind= ''REST''.
Van den Hul was the first who, to my knowledge, warned against this
assumption (=premise). I was shoked because I owned my first tonearm
Sony 237 toghether with ADC 25 . The assumption was ''the hiigher the
price the better product''. According to the Emglish saying: ''I am not
rich to buy cheap stuff''. My Sony had an ingenious provision for anti-
skate designed to work in accordandance to record surface distaces.
Even the stylus shape was accounted for. Curiously ( ?) there was no
''copycat'' of this invention. Ergo : in the GROOVE cantilever/stylus combo
work different as on or at ''blank side''. Well the their TASK is to follow the
GROOVE. I..E the groove has , so to speak , the ''leading function''.
That is how I got my conclusions.
