@lewm you are absolutely correct in your statement. I am not sure how these forums get so testy and a lot of times someone disagrees it get this way. Vinyl is so subjective and opinions vary. We get new vinyl users or some with not a huge amount of skill in setup and we do them or these very forums a disservice for this type of behavior. Setup is just that with small adjustments that mean the difference between a great sound or just OK sound. I have use no anti-skate to a little anti-skate as I use what I hear first and also check how the stylus tracks in the grooves.
@jw944ts I hope you get the answers you are looking for and let’s settle down some on the responses and try to give this member some useful information he can actually use to hone his setup skills with his table.
