Cartridge Skips Beginning of Record

Greets!

Clearaudio Solution Turntable/Satisfy Tonearm/Denon 103R Cartridge

Thanks to those on A'gon who helped me set up this 'table.

Table set up per instructions and leveled. Cartridge mounted and aligned properly.

This (new to me) setup is done correctly AFAIK, based on thread I started here at A'gon. Now, with no antiskate set at all, the cartridge skips for the first cm of any record. With anti-skate set per manual, the cartridge skips in the first half of the record.

Any thoughts?

I found out that the arm lift rest was set too high for the arm/cartridge combo. This is non-adjustable so I had to lower the VTA a little, maybe two mm. Problem solved.

I checked with Clearaudio and a couple of cartridge suppliers and was told the 103R was fine for the Satisfy arm. I used the calculator on vinylengine and I think the resonance was 8.5± hz.
