Anti skate. I think something's wrong

I have an Acoustic Signiture TT with a Graham 2.2 tonearm and Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge. My anti skate is set close to tracking weight and it would always dig to in inside when I would start a record. I read this is wrong so I got my Cardas test record out and placed it in smooth section and it imediately gravitated to inside. I adjusted anti skate to where cartridge slighty pulls to inside . Here is the problem. To get this I'm having to adjust anti skate to the max. I rechecked TT and it is right on level wise. I have less sibilence now and swear the two channels are more even. The right channel has always been just slightly lower than left in volume. The only qualm I have is the max antiskate I have to use. Is bearing bad? I have the blue fluid. Or I shouldn't worry and enjoy the music. Mike

My right channel is always the one that clips first. Bryston was fried during lightening storm and was sent back to factory where they replaced all caps plus other things. Seller told me this when I bought it. he also told me it was a 14bst and not a 
14bsst. Factory were out of 14bst switches for front and they used 14bsst . At this time I was researching and by my serial number Bryston had incorporated most of the sst changes. David Tanner said in the late serial numbers the sonic differences by ear were not detectable. If it hadn't been a happy time in my life I probably would have voided sale. Sorry to get off topic.

Thanks for all your answers in this subject. I will have to get a slim bubble level to check tonearm. I checked platter with round bubble level and it was leveled right. I thinks that might be problem.
