> What I am trying to get my mind around is whether increasing VTF would in fact always result in increased friction.That is very easy to test if you can get a vinyl record with a grooveless shiny flat surface. Simply adjust antiskating so the tonearm remains stationary and then increase tracking force without changing antiskating force. I think you'll find that friction always increases when tracking force increases.
Some test records have a blank band without grooves that you could use to conduct this test.
Another interesting test will show that friction does not change with platter speed. Again, adjust antiskating so the tonearm remains stationary on a grooveless vinyl surface and switch speed from 33 to 45 RPM. The tonearm will remain stationary because friction does not change when the speed of the vinyl surface underneath the stylus changes.
Good luck.
