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.
VPI non-Anti Skate Q
I'm sure this Q has been discussed before, but I haven't seen an answer.
I see most brands using Anti Skate as protection from damage to both LP and stylus. VPI is the only brand I see not using it, as they have a different approach that their arms naturally provide anti-skate force.
My Q for VPI Signature 21 using Fatboy Gimbal 10-3D Tonearm: would not using anti-skating be perfectly safe for stylus and LP, same as to other brands who use anti-skate?
Thanks a lot!

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

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.

??? "The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Oh and your shocked, I forgot to mention that one." Huh? That's the OP's statement😂 Look 3 up from mine. Clearly, the OP is overloaded with techno facts, but as mentioned, no real answer. The OP might want to accept the fact the question just won't be answered with a simple yes or no. Nothing is going to be harmed either way. It's a decades old VPI question. "Please consider sitting on the sidelines when you don't have anything meaningful to contribute." Are you a moderator?
