Too much anti-skate can be just as damaging as too little antiskate. And because the skating force is varying across the surface of an LP at any given moment, finding a setting for anti skate that is just about right, like the temperature of the porridge in the story of the three bears and Goldilocks, is a difficult task, if you worry about it a lot.One way to think about it is if there is audible distortion in the right channel, then you probably should add a little anti-skate force. If you hear audible distortion in the left channel, and you have ruled out other causes, it is possible that you have applied too much anti skate. Just adjust the antiskate to the point where you don’t hear distortion in either channel. That setting won’t be perfect, because there is no perfect. Another bit of gospel about antiskate is that most recommendations for AS as a function of VTF are too high. Use less than recommended.

OK thank you for help

If you don’t use some heavy low compliance cartridge with high tracking force then anti-skating force is very small, especially with advanced stylus profile (normally half of the tracking force). Some nice cartridges track well with only 1.2 g tracking force, anti-staking force in this situation can be as low as 0.6 (if stylus profile is not conical or elliptical).

I have PRO version of FR-64fx now, on this broadcast model anti-skating mechanism removed completely.

I think you can live without anti-skating

Again, 9-11% of VTF is the consensus of the best average anti skating force. Tonearms that have calibrated anti skating use this figure. However, many tonearms are not calibrated. In this case the OP has to make his own weight so he needs to have a way to figure out what exactly he is doing. The WallySkater is one way to test for this. The other has not been marketed yet but if someone wants to copy it for themselves I have no objection. I call it the Gizmo. ( My wife wanted to know what I was doing. I told her I was working on a gizmo.) You can see it on my system page. It has been updated with a permanent digital gauge. It takes a direct measurement of the anti skating force just like you measure VTF except horizontal. 10% worked well according to all my test records which are supposedly overmodulated. The degree of modulation is less important than VTF as a contributing factor. This is also measured at the rim of the record where skating is at it's highest. Good anti skating devices diminish force as the arm moves towards the center of the record. The OP could use a test record to set his arm up. The Hi Fi News Analog Test Record has three anti skate tracks. Use the one that is less modulated. Use the highest modulated track to get the idea of what you are listening for. Defeat the anti skate and listen to this track. The right channel will distort like crazy. The idea is to add anti skate until either the distortion stops or becomes about the same in both channels using the lowest modulated track. This is the cheapest way to get in the ballpark. 

Mijostyn, I am just curious. You wrote, "Good anti skating devices diminish force as the arm moves towards the center of the record."  Why would that be "good" necessarily, since we know the skating force waxes and wanes in magnitude, as the stylus moves across the surface of an LP?  And the minimum skating force is certainly not what dominates at the innermost grooves.
