RS-3 owners: Seeking anti-skate help


Hello - I recently acquired the RS-3 headshell and attached it to my SME 3009 series II (unimproved). I followed the directions from the dealer to the letter and the sound, to date, is nothing shy of riveting, honestly. I am curious, however, if anyone with a similar set-up can comment on whether or not you are using the anti-skate rig. It is not 100% clear that the headshell completely compensates for the table's wanton tendency to pull the arm inwards, so I have set it up currently with the anti-skate weight in place, yet was wondering about the protocol of others, or if there is an official word on this?

Thank you for your help

'Nycewine1', did your dealer mention anything about the RS-3 being designed only for straight tonearms? I only mention it because a poster on another thread claimed it to be true.

I'd love to try one myself-btw, on what table, and with which cart, are you using it?
