Antiskate is an option? Or what? Seems your setup team should have noticed a priori. Some eschew antiskate and say they’re getting great results, but it’s undeniable that there IS a skating force generated by any conventional pivoted tonearm, and long term you’ll have aberrant stylus wear without some AS externally applied. Also you will often hear R channel distortion. I say “often” because AS deniers seem not to hear it. The trick is not to use excessive AS once you have installed a/the AS device but do install it.
