Help - Scroeder CB-9" tonearm - anti-skating setting issue
Hope someone can help here. I have an old (original) version of the CB 9" arm which was developed for the Artemis TT.
I acquired it recently after building up the whole Artemis system.
The issue I am facing is that I am struggling to set the ant-skating correctly. I reduced it so far that the screw is almost falling out, yet the tonearm swings outwards as I am trying to adjust the cartridge using a Dr Feickert rig. Correct VTA/VTF set, using a Fidelity Research FR-1 MK III retyped by Soundsmith. I can listen to the first 2-3 recordings on the record (so at least I know everything is working fine) but then it starts jumping back (like there is a skip in the record). Tried several records, same result.
Manu al very basic and could not find other posts anywhere. Thanks in advance! Laz
Hi. This could be an alignment issue. Distortion rises dramatically with all of the curves past their inner null points. What cartridge alignment curve are you using?
Hi Is the distortion more prominent in one channel or across them both? This could be a clue to the problem
Again, a possibility...... Bad in the left channel, too much antiskate, Bad in the right channel, too little antiskate Bad in both, incorrect alignment.
