My pal had a Grace badged Rega Planar 2, a Grace F9, and a Grace 747 arm. In the info he had, Grace said to look at the cantilever as the record plays, then to adjust the anti-skate to make the cantilever stay as straight as possible. This makes perfect sense, and allows for different settings for records, with varying amounts of info to be fine tuned. I tries it on his Grace and my two arms, and it does work out very well.
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?
