My experience supports the No Antiskating option. Each arm where I have tried removing the AS has sounded better than with any amount of AS. These arms include Triplanar VII, Analog Instruments Siggwan, and Moerch DP-6. I also used a VPI JMW-10 for a number of years without AS but since it didn't have the option of AS, I am not including it on the list.
What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline?
I have seen turntables from Project, Music Hall, and a few other brands that still incorporate a small barrel weight attached to short fishline string which is stretched across a hooking loop to set ANTI-SKATING. It seems to be an artifact from the 1960's and 1970's tonearm design. It is also easy to lose or break
My question is how accurate is that "device" compared to magnetic anti-skating employed by many turntable manufacturers Thank you
