RE: Anti skating is pissing me off

Sometimes cartridges just do that. The cantilever or suspension might have shifted during use. There might have been some residual stresses when it was assembled that relaxed. Some glue might have been unevenly applied or something like that.

But, looking at the cantilever, it's skewed to the left. Meaning it's actually skewed to the right once mounted. If it's anti-skate related, then it's due to too _little_ anti-skate (the arm was pulled inward and the cantilever forced to deflect outward). In this case turning off anti-skate won't help.

A much better indicator would be the wear spots, though.
