Anti-skating problem


I have an unusual problem, it does not matter how much I adjust the anti-skating on my turntable (Oracle delphi V - SME309 and Grado Sonata) I can never get the left channel to sound as detail as the right. I must admit that they are pretty close, (same output levels, same amount of details and depth) but if a play a choral work, (like a Bach's cantatas) I hear the "Shh" from the chorus on the right channel, but very little from the left. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I checked VTA, Tracking force, Azimuth and the level of the turntable and all are correct.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nandric: My TT is fitted with a Rega RB 301 arm. IMHO, the anti-skating control, to say the least, is surprisingly primitive and cheap for an arm having such a nice reputation. Setting anti-skating is at best hit or miss. Please elaborate on the "blanco LP." What is it?? How does it work? Is there any other way to check and adjust anti-skating with some degree of precision? Thanks
Ed: For sure -- fair comment. In any case, Nandric's advice is worthy of its own thread. Hopefully, he'll answer my question. Have a great day.
