Stan, ... even though you might not use the VPI fish line AS device thingy, I recall that you follow Harry's advice by putting a slight twist in the tonearm wire which creates a slight amount of AS force. My point is that while Harry is not a big proponent of the fish line counter weight AS device, he believes that a tiny bit of counterforce might be helpful.
As you may recall, I own a hot-rodded 1st generation Classic. I use a teeny amount of AS, not because I can detect a sound difference. Rather, I use it to help balance the force on the stylus to maintain even wear. That said, I have no clue if I am using too much or too little AS force. Only time will tell when I have my stylus checked for wear.
