Different Anitskate for Rock vs. Classical


Since the best Rock songs are the beginning of a record (lead in groove) shouldn't we optimize the antiskate differently than for classical where the finalis (did I spell it right?) are at the end of a record (close to the label)?

You mean songs like:
Stairway to Heaven
Layla
Let it Be
Desolation Row
Brothers in Arms
LA Woman
Desperado
Gold Dust Woman
All Right Now
Biko
Voodoo Chile Slight Return
Candle in the Wind
Someone Saved My Life Tonight
Epitaph
I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band
Into the Mystic
Synchronicity II
Tumblin' Dice
Sounds of Silence
Josie
Peace Train
Reason to Believe
Year of the Cat
Wrapped Around Your Finger
See Me Feel Me
End of the Line
Wind Up
Heart of the Sunrise
Starship Trooper
Down by the River

Yeah, good idea on that anti-skate thing.
Hey,

I am not talking about the classic great albums. I am talking about the 1 hit wonders. Usually 1st song. Anyhow, you get my point. Isn't antiskate a matter of optimizing for where you listen the most?
I find it best to set the anti-skate right at the point where Roger Daltrey screams "Yeah!!!!" at the end of "Won't Get Fooled Again" on 'Who's Next' (forgot one, Audiofeil?). With patience you can get it just right, and you can feel Roger's chest cavity shaking, but it takes so many tries that you get sick of that damn scream and put on a piano sonata.

While your point about the nature of anti-skate is valid, Dgad, such a level of concern will eventually render you unable to enjoy your music. My advice: set it and forget it.

Cheers.
