Tri-Planar with no anti-skate?


On a hunch I removed the AS weight entirely from my new TP 7 (Merrill table & Ortofon Kont H cart).

The sound improved to an astounding degree: tons more body, much more solid imaging.

Certainly, I must not have had the anti-skate optimally adjusted, I am curious if others prefer it this way too.

Dear Sunnyboy, Dan_ed:

The Titan i has a 3um x 70um stylus, with a major radius that is over twice as large as the Orpheus' 3um x 30um stylus (which I have prior experience with).

IME, the more aggressive stylus shape means that the Titan will most likely benefit from higher AS than the Orpheus.

Dear Jonathan,

Would you educate us on how various forces contribute to antiskate? How should one go about setting the correct antiskate?

Many thanks
