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

Vitor7 What are you talking about. The sweet spot that I find is the one that sounds the best when I originally set up/install the cartridge. Every cartridge has a sweet spot...non are exactly what the manufacturer says is optimum. Right now I have an Ortofon Winfield in the arm. The manufacturer says that optimum is 2.8...I have it at 2.7 because to ME it sounds just a hair better at 2.7. An adjustment in weight also affects the VTA.. the heavier setting pushing down flattens the stylus. In my system 2.7 provides the correct (as I hear it) vta (of course this adjustment also is determined by arm height). I hear no mistracking with any record I play. I care about listening to Mahler er al, not a test record. I have listened with and without a/s, and to ME I like the sound better without a/s. Proper a/s can not be accomplished with any tonearm. It varies so much with sound level at any given point, where the cartridge is on the record, the frequency at any given point, ,,,a myriad of variables. The record and any adjustment is a constantly moving target. It may be true that your a/s is as wrong as much as mine without a/s is wrong. I don't care at all if anyone uses or not uses a/s. This website is for the bantering of information. I feel confident about no a/s and encourage those reading to simply try the cartridge with and without and choose the sound for themselves. You cannot tell me my cartridge is not operating properly since you haven't heard it...all you can do is read these words and move on. Take the information or not..your choice.
