[QUOTE="handsome, post: 949879, member: 772"] The purpose of anti skating is to counteract the force of groove (spiral) pulling the stylus across the LP. The aim is to get the stylus to sit ?evenly? in the groove in other words to get equal pressure on either side of the stylus from both groove walls. Anti skating then, affects stereo imaging. Above a certain tracking force anti skating is unnecessary hence many old tonearms not offering the feature. I have found anti skating to make a difference with an SME312S and Ortofon Vivo Red @1.8g it corrected an irritating tendency for vocals to appear to come from between center and the right speaker. Until then i was convinced it was a room reflection/phasing thing but the anti skate made a noticeable change. [/QUOTE]
