Anti-skating adjustment REGA RP6

Stringreen, it sounds mo better; in what way I can't tell you because I can't hear good enough to distinguish in what way, but it's like everything else in this hobby, if somebody tells you that it sounds "mo better", just go with the flow, and leave it at that.

But seriously, I'm waiting for the answer too.

This is what I do may not be for everyone.When music stops at end of album watch to see if needle moves fast or slow towards label. You want it to move in a slow nice pace. Once I do that then I adjust by ear, most time need to add antiskate to fill in sound stage on right channel. You can also match VTF of cartridge and add or subtract antiskate by ear. Check out soundsmith video on anti skate.

I just set up my Rega Planar 3 with the factory installed Elys 2.  Ended up with zero anti-skate and it set rock solid in the middle of the 1" wide test band.  According to the Rega distributor that is ideal.  1.75g tracking weight.

...actually, there are those that feel that anti-skate reduces the performance of a cartridge......   what to do....

I had my first 17D2 too long, I was also setting antiskate on my RB300 arm to the same value as the tracking weight. Result after a few years was a misaligned cantilever and a stylus that had worn more on one side. Then I learnt about using a blank section of vinyl to set it, on the rega scale it was nearer to 1 than 2 once set like that and no more uneven wear. My next arm, Aro, had 5 notches for a thread and one of them sounded best, easy. My current arm (Schroder Reference) I set roughly with a blank disc and then by ear but my system’s come on a bit since the Rega days, I could never hear much difference back then.
