Should I disable anti skating when doing alignment... ?
sure, you have to
Is my anti-skating too strong.
I’m trying to adjust the alignment of the Ortofon Black Quintet cartridge on my Music Hall mmf 9.3 turntable. When I put the stylus down on the alignment protractor, the tone arm pulls to the outer edge of the turntable. Should I disable anti skating when doing alignment or is it set too strong? Obviously haven’t done this too often.
Also, when listening to the anti skating track on The Ultimate Analogue Test LP, there is noticeable distortion at the end of the track which indicates too much or too little anti skating. Any guidance here?

Pointless threads always the longest on audiogon. Some people never heard about TEST RECORDS like Hi-Fi NEWS TEST LP, because there are special tracks for bias setting. But, check, it’s very simple. Some decent cartridges designed to track well at 1 - 1.5g tracking force, in this situation, especially with advanced profiles, the anti-skating force is so little like 0.5 - 0.75 |
