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.
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 !

Well @bimmerlover I don't have the tangential arm just yet, but when I do the need for antiskate is obsolete.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 |
"To conclude, I need antiskate in some amount even with a long arm but it's alot less than with my 9 ish arms ." I would suggests watching J.R. Boisclair's videos on anti-skate for different length tonearms before coming to that conclusion. It's been a few months since I watched that video, but as I recall he demonstrates that the skating force with a 12" tonearm is not all that different than it is for a 9". |
