OL Silver MKII Anti Skate Setting Question

Hello,

I also posted this at AA but here it goes:

To OL Silver owners, how much you find the Anti-Skate setting on the arm set to that passes your listening test? I tried Hi-Fi news test record and the balance is at 1 but got a recommendation to set it at 0.5 for a cartridge whose VTF is set at 2 g.

Any thoughts, comments? For what it's worth, table is a Teres 255 running on battery power with Benz Ace M cart and Wright Sound phono preamp.

Thanks,

Abe

I set it by ear. If you have the test record, then you can use that. Anti-skating is only an approximate setting anyway, because the need for anti-skating changes from the outside to the inside of the record. Do the best you can.

Phillykid,

Thank you very much as well. I will try your suggestion for sure.

To TWL, I meant "advice" not "advise". Sorry for the wrong spelling! My 1st grade teacher (if she's still alive)will be very upset indeed!

Thanks,

Abe
