Anti-Skate::Playing LP's vs. 12


I notice the right channel seems to mistrack sibilance on some of my Dance/Club 12" singles and not on my LP's and the problem seems to be a bit further exacerbated on playing 45rpm 12" singles. I'm using a Benz-Micro Ebony H on a VPI Scout/JMW-9 Signature arm and I use small weights to add/remove anti-skate but I don't own a test record yet so I have no way of telling where my tracking force should be set other than listening for mistracking in either channel. I'm thinking if I add more anti-skate force to fix the distortion that it will actually be too much then on my LP's. Or it may be a function of the records being cut louder than my cartridge can track them.

If I try adding more anti-skate for my 12" singles will it be too much for my LP's?

Any suggestions on a test record to help me get the anti-skate set?

Do 45rpm records need more anti-skate due to faster platter
speed and more centrifugal force?

I listen to:
Jazz, Classical, Classic Rock, Electronic, New Wave, R'n'B, Funk, Dance/Club, etc.

The Right Channel information is on the inner groove,and the outer groove has the left channel information.This according to my Omnidisc Telarc Test/Set up LPs.
