Different Anitskate for Rock vs. Classical


Since the best Rock songs are the beginning of a record (lead in groove) shouldn't we optimize the antiskate differently than for classical where the finalis (did I spell it right?) are at the end of a record (close to the label)?

I find it best to set the anti-skate right at the point where Roger Daltrey screams "Yeah!!!!" at the end of "Won't Get Fooled Again" on 'Who's Next' (forgot one, Audiofeil?). With patience you can get it just right, and you can feel Roger's chest cavity shaking, but it takes so many tries that you get sick of that damn scream and put on a piano sonata.

While your point about the nature of anti-skate is valid, Dgad, such a level of concern will eventually render you unable to enjoy your music. My advice: set it and forget it.

Cheers.
