VPI non-Anti Skate Q

@mard 

were you just being funny?

"VPI", you got several responses

"protection from damage to both LP and stylus"

Many of us answer not only the OP, but consider that others are following along, and ’in addition to anti-skate’ point out our experiences/opinions, all of which relate to damage to both LP and stylus.

I tried but don’t use the Anti-Skate mechanism on my VPI Prime X. Instead I rotated the lemo connector on the junction box. Seems to work just fine. 

I'm literally shocked!   A very large amount of feedback is not related to the main subject!

@mard 

There are endless threads on VPI AS. VPI has it's own take. It's futile hoping to get a definitive answer.

Your cartridge is a consumable item. An LP played on a VPI continuously for a year is going to show uneven groove wear.

@tablejockey Wrote "An LP played on a VPI continuously for a year is going to show uneven groove wear."

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!  Oh and your shocked, I forgot to mention that one.  All these words of wisdom are based on your vast experience with VPI turntables I suppose?  Such nonsense is really not helpful, even stated as your opinion.  Please consider sitting on the sidelines when you don't have anything meaningful to contribute.  

I thought Tablejockey was referencing Claude Raines character in Casablanca; "I am shocked, shocked I tell you". When as a police chief he was confronted with a situation where he had to feign ignorance in front of the Nazis.
