Can You Defeat the Anti Skating in a Schroder CB Tonearm?
When setting up a cartridge and tonearm one should always defeat the anti skate mechanism. The Schroder CB tonearm has a magnetic anti skate mechanism adjusted by a grub screw in the lift platform. It came with the grub screw about 1 cm in and very noticeable anti skating force applied. Can you defeat this by backing out the grub screw a little or do you have to remove it all the way? There must be a magnet on the other side of the screw. I'm always a bit nervous about removing screws when I do not know what is on the other side. I envision magnets shooting across the room into oblivion.
