Many thanks junebug. I respect the knowledge of the folks at Wally Tools but was not aware of this recent series of videos. It seems I've carried lots of incorrect information forward in my decades in this hobby. :^(
antiskate disc
this is not new info, but as I have struggled to adjust the antiskate on my REED 2G(not calibrated), I thought I would try the blank disc method, despite mixed reviews of this technique. I have an ALNIC AMBER cartridge which has a FRITZ GYER S stylus....it is so fine that it immediately cuts its own groove in the vinyl blank disc, making subsequent passes impossible...frustrating!!
