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!

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.

Ironically, this thread should end with 2–3 replies.   A lot of feedback takes the wrong direction.   Think about saving data on the internet.
