How do you make this twist? My manual (a great table but not a great manual at all) mentions it but does not say how to do it. Twist it which way? With no anti skating, all was well except one album that skipped on the first track.
Thanks for clarifying, Captain w. I'm not much familiar with VPI arms and wasn't aware that the A/S device *could* affect azimuth. Given that unexpected "feature", checking crosstalk seems like a prudent step.
I have posted my findings a number of times and for the very last time.....relieve the burden of anti-skate on your tonearm and get better sound. If the anti-skate mechanism is attached properly to the VPI, it will not affect azimuth...but....no need for anti-skate anyway.
I've got an original JMW-12 and don't use / need any anti-skate. The sound is better without the twisted lead wire or any other outward pressure on the arm.
BTW, it has been my experience that ANY pressure from the lead wire will also change the azimuth.
