Tri-Planar with no anti-skate?

I have a question.I really mean it to be proposed as such,and am in no way trying to undermine any previous thoughts.
If we set(as I do)VTF...shouldn't antiskate be employeed,along with the VTF adjustment?
Doesn't setting antiskate, seperately from VTF, change the VTF value,necessitating an aditional re-check of VTF?
Very possible my own arm,and the one I am considering getting,work differently here.

Hmm Doug,I do feel a bit sorry for you!Since you change vtf parameters so often(and it IS legit,if one wants to extract the absolute max from lp's,but it's a bit nutsy,in the best possible way-:)you REALLY missed the boat with Air Tangent's auto/remote controlled linear arm going out of production.You should have jumped on one!!
I did mention this to you a while ago(I'm sure you remember),but this was an arm MADE for you!!Of course this is all "tongue in cheek".....but... what if?
Aside from absolutely the best performance anyone could ask an anolog device to deliver(I consider it the "best" audio "thing" ever invented,but it's only my opinion,and the previous owner's as well)and assuming you upgraded the standard pump,to the motor boat sized one my two friends got,it offers a digital "remote controlled" readout for any vta setting one could want!
My friend (not Sid,who had the el-cheapo 8500 dollar model)actually had listings on each LP jacket for the "exact" vta for a given disc.It worked like a charm,given the different thickness of various vinyl pressings and the other parameters involved.
It was dirt cheap too...ONLY 13,500 dollars!!You gotta seek one out,it was made for you!.....AND Paul...-:)
Best.

Dan,OK I will.
