Reed 2G magnetic antiskate

I learned a lot about AS from the Wally videos. Many because he doesn’t just talk, he demonstrates and tests the ideas.  The Wally Skater is the only device that cured my Audiophile Nervosa about AS.  The added benefit is you learn if other functions of your tonearm are working correctly and if forces you to balance your turntable!

Testpilot, there is only one coefficient of friction for any two materials, in this case vinyl vs diamond. In my hypothesis, which I think may be flawed, what might vary in relation to stylus shape is the normal force at the contact patches. For what it’s worth, Mijostyn owns a Wallyskater. Plus he made his own AS measurement device, and he felt that his own contraption worked better.

Haha. Of course Mijo did.

For some reason known only to him, Mijo has left the building.  Only he can tell you his reasons for preferring his own gizmo to the Wallyskater. It should be noted that he also told me (hearsay evidence only) that he owns a lot of Wally gear and is a fan. So he is not a hater of the stuff.

After using the WAM tool to set anti-skate to their predicted average, do you refine by ear?

What musical content do you use to help with final anti-skate?
