anti skate

Total TT Newb.. I am trying to get my Dual set up and have found useful but scattered pieces of info out there. I have a Dual CS521 Are these the correct steps: 1 - balance the tone arm 2 - determine tracking force of cartridge and stylus 3 - confirm that tracking force is correct with stylus...

51 yo newb here. About 27 years ago (wow, has it been that long?) I retrieved a bunch of equipment from a CBC studio that was being ripped apart. One of the items that I picked up but never really used, until recently, was a Sanyo TP625 turntable. It has a Sony head on it and I have put an...

Hello, I have been kinda stumped by this - my well set up Dual 1219 has started acting strange with regards to the anti-skate setting. Probably a year a two ago, I determined I needed to back down the anti skate setting to close to 0 to get it to perform correctly. It has recently began...

I have a Stanton T90 USB 'table. It has the infamous Hanpin weak / useless anti-skate, just like the AT LP120s had. I found someone on vinylengine that ordered the stronger upgraded anti-skate spring directly from AT for his LP120. He provided the part number and even a picture of the springs...

I picked up a really nice PL-55x about month ago and the antiskate isn't working. Any tips on what to look for -- common problems, and how to fix? I downloaded the service manual from Vinyl Engine and I looked on YouTube but videos specific to repairing the PL-55s. I'm a bit of novice with TT...

I'm starting to think that my turntable (an Audio-Technica AT-LP120) has a cheap one that doesn't work the way it's meant to. I tried using a laserdisc to regulate it (I know this isn't a proper way to do it but read the following), I saw some people do that with their top-of-the-line Technics...

Hi guys, I just received a brand new AT-LP120X TT. I did the blank record test for anti skating and results are not good. The Vertical tracking force is precisely set at 2g and with anti skating knob at 2 the arm flies fast to rest position. Before anyone says the blank vinyl record test is...

Hey fellow AK’ers! Kinda bummed out today and here’s why: I called a TT Repair shop in Los Angeles asking for a replacement stylus for a Stanton cart (its for a Technics SL-D303 I picked up from online) and then the guy starts telling me I should just get a new cart. So then he says he has...

Hey everyone. I just upgraded from a Jelco SA-750D to a TK-850S and I'm running into a problem. Since installing the new arm a couple days ago, I've found that records are prone to skipping in the inner grooves. Also, rather than tracking through the run off toward the label, the stylus jumps...

Well, thanks to needlestein I was able to cyanoacrylate glue the suspension. Things didn't go perfectly well, but nevertheless the cantilever now holds up mass instead of collapsing like before. Now for the adjustments... I found on the bottom/rear/left of the unit a cogged wheel which...

I have a vintage Sony PS-X6 TT with an anti skating knob. I have a similar aged Audio Teknica cartridge. How should the knob be adjusted. 73
