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!

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?

The OP's question was directly answered by me and others. Refer to my post of 5/18 for a direct answer. The question expanded as often happens here at Audiogon, but the discussion was pertinent and constructive, until you chimed in with your comments. The setting of Antiskating is pertinent to every turntable except those with linear tonearms. |
