how do you determine anti-skate settings?


my tt (Origin Live Illustrious) has no scale for anti-skate, which consists of a little weight hanging from a string, connected near the rear of the arm. Is there any good method, or tool, or test record to use, for determining optimum anti-skate settings?

Thanks so much for all the responses. I am experimenting with the suggestions. Best results seem to fall in the minimal settings region.

My former arm, a Rega, seemed to do best with the antiskate at about half the recommended force, as some suggested.

My new cartridge is a Lyra Helios. They are adamant that tracking force should stay within a narrow recommended range, as it is a crucial element of the design, so there is not much wiggle room on VTF. Great cartridge, btw.
