How do I set anti skate on Nottingham Anna arm????


Please help me get the last adjustment dialed in on my new turntable that is finally ready to use. I have been trying to wait patiently to start listening to records. Last night I was lucky enough to have my buddy come and help me set up my table/arm/cartridge. We couldn't get the anti skate figured out. Please let me know if I am missing something. Thanks very much.

If you notice that your cart. is mistracking in one channel only, that is an indication that the anti-skating needs adjustment. If I remember correctly (and I sure if I am wrong someone will correct me) the inner groove wall is the right channel and the outer wall has the left channel information. So, say the cart. is breaking up in the left channel. That would indicate that more tracking force is being applided to the inner wall; so you'd increase the anti-skating force to compensate. Conversely, if it was breaking up on the right channel you'd decrease the Anti-skating force. This is an issue with my Shelter 90X. Tracking near the mfg. limit, the anti-skating has to be close or it will break-up in one channel or the other on the inner grooves near the label.
I can ditto that! I have a custom Neuance shelf for my Hyperspace. The charchol color of the shelf is almost an exact match with the carbon platter of the TT. Very cool looking. It replaces the top shelf of my rack.
