Anti skating & stylus force

Posted by LaszloPhoto on October 15, 2020 at 11:45:48:
My stylus force gauge arrived. It is the Riverstone Audio Record-Level Turntable Stylus Tracking Force Gauge/Scale, 0.005g Resolution which purchased from Amazon. It comes in a very cute little metal box with foam cut outs for the parts which include 5 & 20 gram calibration weights. The gauge seems to be accurate to the thousandths of a gram if the calibration weight is that accurate. Anyway, the force setting was 1.545. I raised it to 1.595. The max recommended force is 1.6.

I also set the anti skating to the minimum value. My settings were confirmed by Mark Baker of Origin Live via the picture I sent him.

So now I will wait and see if another one of those spontaneous skips pops up. They are rare so I don't expect to have any feedback for a while but will let you know whether or not the problem persists.
