All i can say is that your table needs further refining if you have the stylus moving during alignment and distortion on tracks from test albums but yes disengage anti skate for aligning and make sure the table is level when you align.
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?
