To antiskate or not antiskate

@iseland I probably was not there first one to eventually realize you’re talking about a tangential tonearm, which changes the whole game.

For a true tangential tonearm, the required anti-skating compensation is essentially zero.

However, in certain designs, a tiny residual bias may still exist due to bearing friction, offset geometry imperfections, or servo lag (but I think the one you are looking at is not using servo control), and some tonearms include a small adjustment to fine-tune for that, such as the one you mention. Usually it’s extremely small (on the order of 0.05–0.2 g equivalent).

In practice the vast majority of users can run with zero bias compensation on a linear tracker.

Bummer, it’s news to me if any linear tracker actually incorporates an AS device, if only for the good reason that any skating force would be tiny and constantly changing in direction, pulling the arm wand toward then away from the spindle at alternating moments.

Well @bimmerlover I don't have the tangential arm just yet, but when I do the need for antiskate is obsolete.  For now I needed advice about a 12 inch unipivot setup. 

@iseland I did put a longer response earlier in this thread, assuming that it was a unipivot arm. You might want to see if you can find it

I've been reading everything here at least twice,  even the AI input.  

To conclude, I need antiskate in some amount even with a long arm but it's alot less than with my 9 ish arms .

Impressions after listening alot this week is , why did I wait so long...

Thank you all for very useful information !
