RE: Temporary record skipping

There can be a number of reasons for your skipping problem. This answer addresses one possible reason.

You said the skip repeated three times before moving on. This indicates to me that antiskating might be set too high. If there is something in the groove that causes the stylus to jump out of the groove, it shouldn't move backward unless the object is so large that the stylus looses contact for an extended period of time.

What tonearm are you using? If you set antiskating using a test record, you probably set it too high. If you have a high-end tonearm, I would recommend setting antiskating in accordance with the tonearm manufacturer's instructions. For example, I have the SME V tonearm on my Sota Millennia turntable and I set antiskating to the same number as vertical tracking force because that's what the tonearm instructions say.

Another good method for setting antiskating is the one recommended by Frank Schroder and Peter Ledermann. Check the post at the link below for a description of their method.

Good luck,
John Elison.
