I thought about this as a technique for getting more anti-skate force - you could move the D-ring back on the arm to get more leverage. I think VPI doesn't actively encourage it because they're sort of on the fence about the whole idea of anti-skate.Â
VPI antiskate nylon string and collar
My Prime came will the AS device. I noticed the nylon sting is connected to a collar that is secured to the arm. I'm appears the collar is adjustable via a clamping nut that could be loosened and thereby alllowing the collar to be slid further toward the back of the arm. Would there be any benifit in the when adjusting AS?
