For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating?


I have a Scout 1.1 with Ortofon 2M Black. Have always read that unipivot arms do not require antiskating. I don't use mine. Any opinions?

Just Try It Both Ways!

IT IS NOT THAT HARD!

I use the JMW arm, and have NO twist in the cable, and no "Dangling" weight type anti skate that vibrates.

I hear no inner grove distortion in any of my 2,000 Lp's, through my speakers, or STAX SR-009 headphones.

There are many more important adjustments that screw up the sound.

Start with those first, and listen closely, when making any adjustment.

It takes a lot of listening time, and very, very fine adjustments, for best results.

Most people do not have the patience, or ear, for accurate sound evaluation!

As far as Peter Lederman's advice on anti skate, remember he sells a cartridge with a cactus needle cantilever!

LOL!
