Ok , I'm corrected and I will add the lightest weight to start with and listen again..
To antiskate or not antiskate
Well that's the question, as I'm evaluating the latest addition in my setup.
A dr feickert woodpecker with a clearaudio unify 12 inch tonearm and lyra titan cartridge.
This is my first encounter with this kind of setup so any advice is welcome !

@thebrokenrecord +1 for Wally Tools / Wally Skater. I have the complete set as well as microscopy analysis with custom shim. This is the way to go. I posted the report in my virtual system. Check out at the Zenith error in my cart. Published tolerances are +/- 5% which is a lot, but can corrected if you know what it is and have the right tools. |
Sorry, but this does not work very well, if at all. By ear yes, but it helps to know you're in the ballpark to start with. |
Exactly, get in the ballpark visually, (ignore the dial) then refine by ear, using what LP______? AFTER: everything else is verified, anti-skate is last AFTER: Your system’s balance is proven by the CD version of whatever content you are using. Then use the LP version of known content and known imaging ...................................................... Just last night, listening to a friends system, track 3 ... the left channel disappeared. Nobody walking around, nobody touched anything. WTF Turned out to be a loose RCA connector on the back of the Phono stage. That’s why I changed to all LOCKING connectors, either Locking XLR (they all do not lock); or cables with Locking RCA connectors, or modify your existing cables with these connectors from parts express https://www.parts-express.com/Locking-RCA-Plug-Solder-Type-2-Pair-091-1270?quantity=1 The channel disappeared completely, easy to be aware off, find and fix, but many times you can get a partial signal, unaware your balance might be off |
