VPI anti skate.....don't bother per VPI(HW)
You absolutely need A/S per Soundsmith.
You can drive yourself mad worrying which suggestion is correct.
I can't hear a difference either way on my Classic. I've gone periods with and without.
Following SS advice, you will have to use considerable weight to slow the arm down at the run out groove. Those little orings are too light.
The VPI setup is low tech. No AS is perfect anyway. It needs to be a live system monitoring and correcting itself as a record plays.
That said, I use a compromise setting of about 1.5 grams. Doesn't appear to slow the arm down, but it's something to slow down the uneven stylus wear?
Enjoy the music, at least it's not affected by what's going on now.
