I have both Benz M2 and Lyra Helikon. For some reason I do not set up an andtiscating(with cheap RB300!) since on some records with even small flows it will skip. I've got a great practice within the time of using records(since I was 5) to place a needle by using just fingers without tonearm lifter trying to place the stylus right onto the record bypassing the "lead-in-groove". The same thing can be done with the arm-lifter. It just take a little-longer to place the cartridge on the presice record-groove position.
Some vinyls have better designed pressing quality with almost flat "lead-in-groove" that don't require any antiscating applied and some vinyls look like a pizza where any cartridge will surf through the "lead-in-groove".
