RE: I'm not using the anti-skate.

I don't think your example is the best one to follow. Therefore, I would recommend everyone try using antiskating and make up their own minds whether or not to continue.

It is a fact that all pivotal tonearms generate skating force, which causes the stylus to press harder against the inner groove wall than the outer groove wall. It is also a fact that all styli wear out and those that have been played without antiskating wear out faster and unevenly. This can cause mistracking and premature record wear.

On a well designed tonearm, there will be little or no difference in sound quality when using or not using antiskating. Consequently, it is always better to use antiskating to counteract skating force and increase stylus life while reducing the risk of record damage.

Best regards,
John Elison
