Technics SL-1200G Anti-Skating


I used a Feickert Universal Protractor to align my Ortofon Quintet Black cartridge.  Instructions are to set anti-skating to zero, but it never says to set anti-skating to Technics specifications, so I left it that way.  At record start, the stylus would too often stake a little before it set into a groove.  

I decided to set anti-skating as recommended by Technics and the stylus stopped staking at set down.  As far as I can tell, all other settings are fine - and the music sounds great.  

Any other 1200G users that leave anti-skating at zero.  If so, why?

I would be interested to learn if you find that following Peter's method results in a significant difference as compared to just setting it as per the dial on your Technics TT.  FWIW, my experience on my GAE has been that the Technics setting is about right using Peter's method to check it.
