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Well @bimmerlover I don't have the tangential arm just yet, but when I do the need for antiskate is obsolete.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

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 ! 

"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".

listen for distortion to go away

listen to enjoyable content with imaging that is revealing.
