Setting anti-skate

It's the mechanic/tweaker in me that still has to know. :) But then, my system is finally revealing enough that I can easily hear these differences. (Don't under-estimate the Doshi effect!) In that respect, SirSpeedyMark is right on target about a system's ability to show these differences in cartridge adjustments. It is indispensable!

thanks nsgarch for your method, i found it works well on my VIP arm, i had one twist to much, with a good light you can see what way the cantilever moves when it reaches the lp, mike

Mike, yes, I think a lot of people don't realize the importance of a REALLY STRONG light source, and a little observational practice (watching the cantilever at max. and min. Anti Skate settings) until you get a "feel" for those little deflections. Wear your reading glasses if you need them!! ;--)

nsgarch i know there has been a lot of discussion on VIP anti skate adjustment but i think that after having the VIP Aries for several months Harry's method is as good as any other, i think that some people are against it because its so simple, thanks again and happy musical evening mike
