Antiskating too strong? Help please

[acalex]

Some movement is quite normal. If you want to lessen it, it won't hurt to unscrew the anti-staking bolt a couple of turns....

Is it? Great...as I thought he shouldn't move at all...but it seems unatural as for sure some inerzia will act on the arm whilst you suddendly lift it...

Have u actioned all advice given here? There are test vinyl with antiskate tracks which are effective and simple to use. Bought mine in 1973!

Yes but I guess I need some sort of equipment to do the testing/measurement a part from the disc...right...or not?

Thanks

Looks like a descendant of my early 70s disc but a little more expensive too. I have found it useful tho over the years to get the setup spot on.

I definitely recommend the HiFi test record. You can set everything up with the right loading and bias, but the test tracks and tones on the record show up any issues really clearly.

Hi. Assuming that both the tracking weight and bias are correct, arm drift ( to outer edge of the record ) can occur if the cueing platform and underside of the tonearm which contacts it is greasy or dirty, the outward pull of the bias causes this. Simply use a cotton bud and a bit of isopropyl alcohol and clean the underside of the arm and the rubber/plastic top surface of the cueing platform. That usually stops it.
