Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Your personal experience notwithstanding,...

I believe John Ellison did provide a serious response to the OP, and I think he was correct. Anything that affects the friction between stylus tip and groove walls will affect the skating force, because friction is the cause of the skating force in the first place. So, if increasing VTF also increases friction, then skating force goes up, and the need for AS would go up commensurately. This does not mean that YOU or anyone else must increase AS when increasing VTF, it's just the laws of physics that say it would make sense.

What I am trying to get my mind around is whether increasing VTF would in fact always result in increased friction. There may be a range of VTF where f does not change proportionately.
