What we need is one of those old skating-force cartridges with the gauge on the front. Better yet, I'll bet Soundsmith has some excellent data from their new strain-gauge cartridge, which measures skating force as it plays. ;-)

Do you have any influence with Soundsmith. I think I probably pissed them off in December when I inquired about a DL-103R retip and pinned them down on SRA for their ruby cantilever, line-contact stylus assembly. Apparently they were simply replacing the stylus/cantilever assemblies on Denon cartridge without taking into consideration that the Denon cartridges were designed for 15-degree VTA whereas their stylus/cantilever assemblies were fixed for 20-degree VTA resulting in a serious SRA misalignment. Anyway, I'll bet they have all the data you can imagine on antiskating from their strain-gauge cartridge project.

Best regards,
