Toss out those torture test records. They provide meaningless answers to your questions. After a very few passes of mistracking, the record is damaged and will never reveal if your cartridge is properly set up. Also, I have found that many anti-skating devices buzz, rattle, etc., and removal of these allow higher performance from the arm.
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
