Triplanar Question??

Hi there,
I am searching around to see if I can get some advice on where to approxiamately place the anti-skate weight on the bar when in use with a ZYX Universe cartridge.

Is this just something I have to experiment with or have folks found the right place to set the weight in order to track correctly? Any light shed on this subject would be most helpful.

Cheers,
Peter

Yes, please do elaborate Ralph. Your statement is a bit confusing to me.

I set the antiskating weight so that the outside edge is lined up just shy of the the second mark, since I'm tracking very nearly 2 grams. It seems to work OK. Near the end of a blank LP, it holds its own.

Now that I look at it though, I can't say for sure that that is what the marks mean :)

Ralph,

If you're using a UNIverse/TriPlanar, do yourself a favor and try the O-rings method instead of the metal weight (as linked in my first response above).

Assuming you've got VTF set right (just a couple hundredths of a gram above mistracking) reducing antiskate will sound like a component upgrade, seriously.

Hello Doug, would you care to say what your VTF setting is?
