Help:Anti skate on Tonearm with no anti-skate

Hi Guys

I am having trouble with my right channel having distortion/mistracking. When i place my cartridge on a Cardas Test disk it shoots towards the center very quickly instead of very slowing. This points to a lack of antiskate on the outside of the tonearm(Right Channel).

The tone arm i am using is a 1990's Ortofon RMG309i Tonearm which has not antiskate settings. In the instruction manual it states it has built in antiskate bias.

My question is how do i increase the antiskate because i have a feeling this is the cause of the distortion/mistracking on the right channel.I have checked the VTA, VTF and Azimuth and they all sound correct. My Cartridge is a Shindo Ortofon SPU.


Any help would be great.

Thanks

I don't think the OP was suggesting the mis-track is only occurring on test discs.(?)

The fact that the arm skips towards the centre suggests that incorrect platter level could actually be part of the problem(???)

Worth re-checking it and fine tuning for a perfectly level surface then re-assess with normal discs.
