Koetsu Urushi+SMEV anti skating setting help

Many thanks Nsgarch, but I am looking for a direct answer from someone having walked the path I am not ready to walk... A suggested setting from an experienced user is heartly wellcome!!.David

Well, Rgurney "agrees" with Nsgarch..., but you both are proposing a different aproach: AS=20%-50% VTF vs AS=100% VTF.
Following Wally's theory on AS (non dynamic) setting with WallySkate one should conclude the AS is related to the cartridge and arm working together as a combination (combinated frictions) and I don't quite see how many other could be involved provided alignment, VTF, VTA and load adjustments have been precisely done following the formal manufacturers' recommendations for a duplication not to be a reasonable solution.
I am not a newcomer, but I am afraid I do not follow the endless & obsessive setup and tweaking school.
I will try the visual method, but it will probably show the results of rather big variations...

Thanks Jskg.
My SME instructions manual (8 years old) is not very precise on the matter and simultaneously refers to VTF related AS setting and listening for channel discrepancy...
By the way, are you using the silicone fluid damping? I would really love to avoid it as it is so nasty to use and maintain...

Thanks Dopogue
This is a very interesting issue I have been wondering about and the temptation to use (at least to try) no AS at all is too great to resist...

Many thanks Genesis168
I have found your insight informative the most and with the rest of the opinions I am making my own considering there is an obsessive direction I am not going to follow; there are too many records waiting and time has to be used acordingly...

Many thanks Kostas
This is the kind of answer I was expecting when starting this thread: the experience of a colleague showing me the way. I have been loving Koetsus for a long time but this is the kind of audio product pushing the user, providing no recommendations at all, towards the subjetive (and usually obsessive) setup school. Ok, many can say this is the core business of our hobby, or the basis to keep alive our endless open discussion: " if I like it...", I would say.

Dear Kostas
By the way, are you using the silicone fluid damping of your SME V with the Urushi?

Very interesting approach indeed!Many thanks for having gone that far in your thread help. In the next days I have the intention to post my system as a Virtual System just to share with you all the results of my "Winterreise"...
