In Reply to: Anti-skating is overrarted, most good arms don't have any provision for it. posted by jihad on January 20, 2012 at 16:21:56:

Please cite some examples of "good" tonearms that have no provision for anti-skate, lots of them, to support that statement. It might be more accurate to say, "A few good tonearms don't have any provision for it."
You are entitled to your opinion about using the anti-skate devices built into and onto most tonearms, but whether you like it or not there is a skating force generated when using a pivoted tonearm. I know it is trendy to ignore that fact of life. When i have tried ignoring it, I have always found that I prefer the sound with at least a minimum amount of anti-skate force applied.
