Lyra's and antiskating...

67.107.168.98

Based on past threads and personal experience...the stylus shape used on Lyra cartridges tends to have quite a bit of drag, hence the need for additional anti-skate. I had to add addition weight to my anti-skate mechanism (NA Spacearm) while using both a Lydian B and a Helikon, in order to compensate. Otherwise when the stylus touched the record, it would skate inward. This approach was recommended to me by Tom Fletcher of NA. as that is what he did when using a Helikon. This seems like a common problem when Lyra's are used with lower mass tonearms.
