Well temp, arm drifts from away from center of rec

Baranyi,

I owned the Well Tempered Record Player arm, which is similar to the Classic but lacks the anti-skate adjustment. Having observed a Classic arm, though, my opinion is that even at the minimum setting the Well Tempered design applies too much anti-skating force. My solution was to add an extra half twist to the tonearm suspension lines. This effectively eliminates all but the smallest amount of anti-skating force, while still allowing for azimuth adjustment. I never really had cueing drift after I applied this tweak, except for my lousy eye-hand coordination. :-)

If you need more details, contact me outside the forums. I'll be happy to provide more detail.

David,
I have emailed you hoping to understand the tweak you mentioned above. Bob

David,
It was amazing that we happened to only be a couple of miles from each other at the time of my post. It was wonderful meeting you and your wife yesterday. I can hardly wait to try the tweak that you mentioned on this thread. I am certainly not a techy but it seemed that even I could handle the tweak that you mentioned. I wish that we were meeting under more favorable circumstances. Bob

Thanks Bob,

Always fun to meet with fellow Audiogoners. It was a nice break from my family issues. Have fun with the Well Tempered - it's a great table. We're both lucky to have wives who tolerate and even appreciate our hobby.

OK, I am an idiot! Trying to do this tweak I got silicone everywhere!! I need to start over because now the arm is not functioning correctly. Is alcohol the best thing to get this goo off of the table and arm. It took quite a while to get it off of my hands. I tried to do the tweak while keeping the silicone in the cup. Big mistake!! Bob
