Is there a 3g. anti-skate weight for Graham arms?


Wally M. claimed that the anti-skate weight that comes with the Graham 2.0-2.2 is a bit too heavy at around 6g. He told me that he could get a lighter one from Bob Graham at 3g. Has anyone know if this is true? Wally never sent me my weight. Has anyone found the stock weight to be too heavy, and beyond adjustment?

I have seen a professional setup of the 2.2 where the anti-skate weight was pushed all the way up to the collar (least force), and wondered why. So, I would be interested in this as well. Keep us informed.
Firstly,Bob Graham knows his products,so please don't waste your listening time with this.
Secondly,as to the "professional setup" having the antiskate all the way up the collar,for least force,I'd assume they were NOT professionals,or were compensating for problems elsewhere,in the system.Possibly the cartridge had ZERO weight(just sarcasm,sorry).

It's easy to actually check for accurate antiskate,and the Grahams can be had with a device for this.However if you follow the instructions with the arm,you should be close enough not to waste your mental energy,or time.There are,also,a myriad of test discs that allow for antiskate checking.Hunt one down,or better yet,borrow from a friend.

Best!
Sirspeedy,
Unfortunately the Graham installation instructions that come with the 2.1/2.2 do not describe how to set the antiskate. It does say that each detent on the calibrated shaft is equal to 1/2 gram, and it is clear from the design that placing the weight at the collar does not result in zero antiskate. What is the device you referred to for the Graham?
Sorry!There is no tool from Graham regarding antiskate.But,having set up Grahams,from the 1.5/2.0 to 2.2's(alot) I can state with confidence that you can dismiss any doubts as to the antiskate accuracy of these arms,relating to Graham's instructions,and how they perform in real world conditions.Unless you want to go nuts,and dismantle common sense,in order to find miniscule geometric and technical flaws,which will have no real impact on what you are hearing.Some posters like to do this.I hope you do not.You would be better served listening to your records.

Best!
Please re-read my post. I said nothing about any antiskate inaccuracy of a Graham. My point was that placing the weight at the collar still results in some finite antiskate (by design), and that may have been appropriate for the TT setup done by this professional.

You could benefit from some additional care in your responses. In 2 short posts, you managed to unfairly criticize a known professional, state a tool existed and then retract it, suggest out of the blue that I need a test record (incidentally, I have 2), and suggest I am spending too much time obsessing with TT setup, when I didn't even bring it up, and don't need any help.

Were you having a bad day?
