I use test records with increasing modulation to set antiskating at a point where both channels track evenly. Use of some antiskating ALWAYS improves tracking ability in the arms I've dealt with.
But, using this method I almost always end up applying much less antiskating force than the manufacturer recommends. I am frequently near the lowest setting on whatever scale the arm supplies. This has been true with several Vector arms, Graham 1.5t, Graham 2.2, Graham Phantom, SME 209, and a Roksan arm.
