VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video

I understand all the concepts, however one question still bugs me. When I read VPI's manual they go through the set up process pretty well with one of the first things you do is set the anti skate. Here is what I don't get, if the anti skate is hooked up how are you suppose to set tracking force and azimuth correctly if ther is a constant counter force acting on it? Even if you disconnect the Lemo it still imparts a force just hanging there.

I'm a newbie at TT's so maybe I'm missing something.

I really don't understand what the big deal is. If you don't like the CI then don't buy it. I have one on my JMW9 and find it very useful and worth every penny. In fact, I think it's a bargain.

There is no “big deal”. The CI issue/debate has been divided into 2 camps.

Camp 1 says you don’t need the CI and all adjustment can be done using the VPI arm.

Camp 2 says the CI is needed to properly dial in correct azimuth and VTF.

The answer is…both are correct. You don’t need the CI to dial in azimuth and VTF but the CI may allow for a finer level of adjustment for azimuth and VTF. Also, some just prefer to use the CI.

It's true that all adjustments can be made without the CI but it's a definite PIA.

I went ahead and purchased the CI. It was only 50 bucks. This way when I set azimuth by ear I won't have to undo the counter weight every time.

Last Lemming....I guess you didn't read what I said on the above posts....you wouldn't need to even without the CI
