Tonearm Anti-Skating: How to set tonearm antiskating (AnalogMagik Tutorial 5)

As the turntable spins, the stylus of cartridges mounted on pivoted tonearms may exert uneven pressures on the Left vs the Right grooves walls.   Microscopically, this imbalance may result in higher distortion levels on one side of the groove walls vs the other. To counteract this force, most tonearms will have an anti-skating dial which will apply a counteracting l force,  so that the stylus will have equal pressure on both side walls of the groove. Not all tonearms provide for an anti-skating adjustment.     On a 12" tonearm, antiskating is usually not required in some cases, but on a 9" arm some antiskaing force is usually needed.      The market has no shortage of controversies and setup methods when it come to anti-skating.    Some suggest using a blank record groove and "to eyeball" the speed at which the cartridge slides across the surface.    Some use a Mirror cut into the shape of an LP, and anti-skating is determined by watching the cartridge slide across the surface.  Some employ the use of torture tracks or complex DIY devices.  ​ In our opinion, any tools which attempt to measure anti-skating force without the stylus sitting on the LP groove while the record is spinning, introduces a different friction co-efficient experienced by the stylus which bears no correlation with the actual level of pressure and frictional force experienced in real time play settings.   For sample, if you use a mirror or a blank/groveless record, the friction co-efficient will be different different than a normal LP with actual groves.    They bear no correlation to one another, so they will lead to inaccurate results.  ​ We need to take a step back to see what anti-skating actually does. ​ When there is too little antiskating force, the stylus will apply too much force on the left or inner groove walls, causing a higher level of distortion on the R channel.   When there is too much anti skating​ force, it will cause too much pressure to be applied on the right or outer groove walls, causing a higher level of distortion on the L channel.   This can only be measured while the stylus is sitting in the grooves with the LP playing.      When anti-skating is optimized, the level of distortion between the right and channel should be balanced.   The best way to do this is to use a distortion analyzer which is what AnalogMagik will do for you. ​ Please visit www.AnalogMagik.com for more information. ​Video by Mezmer Media Inc.
