Personally, there is no way in hell that I would let that much force be exerted onto the cantilever. Secondly, tracking is not correctly being accomplished as the LP is playing. It is imperative that both sides of the groove are tracked correctly. Records are not made with allowances for tracking. Period. Correct anti-skating force is applied when you can visually see that as the LP is spinning, the cantilever is as straight as possible when looking at its alignment within the cartridge body. That is how one knows that the rotational forces acting upon the cantilever are equally countered in the opposite direction. This in correlation with the suggested tracking force will allow for best case scenario when attempting to setup a TT.
AntiSkate-crooked Cantilever correlation?
This has been something that has been on my mind for some time now. I note how many forumites here typically now use little, to no anti-skate.
And, I've often wondered is anti-skate, or a lack of, is a possible cause to cantilevers eventually becoming cockeyed over time?
Common sense tells me, if a Stylus is "fighting" to stay in the groove, while the Arm wishes to pull one way, or another, that this might not be good for Cantilever "health"?
I would like hearing others thoughts of this topic? Thanks, Mark
