Re: Antiskate question, do they get weak with age?

I imagine they could get weak over time, but I don't know for sure. I can't personally attest to any knowledge of the magnetic properties of the material (ferrite?) in question. That said, anti-skate settings aren't quite as critical as azimuth, alignment, VTF, or VTA. If you're getting a good idea of where to be with a test record, I'd just leave it at that.

I kinda wish that Thorens had used the TP11s more than the 16s -- I think both the VTF and anti-skate settings are more "true" on the 11s. But I'm not about to transplant a TP11 on my 160 or my 126.
