Very informative! Thank you very much for this video.

No offense, but the anti-skating part is wrong. It's function is to counteract the force on the needle while in the groove on a spinning record. The best setup is actually to get a test record with no grooves, drop the needle somewhere on the grooveless record WHILE IT IS SPINNING and THEN adjust the anti-skating to where the tonearm stays in place.

@ricktbdgc this video's about setting a tonearm not setting anti skate.

Anti-skate is used to counter-act the natural tendency of the needle to pull towards the center of the record. A setting of 0 will not counter this force, and the needle will ride on the inner side of the groove slightly. A setting of 3 will create an outward force and the needle will ride on the outer edge of the groove. To balance the forces, use a piece of vinyl without grooves, place the needle in the center and adjust anti-skate until the needle stays still. DONE.

i use ortofon pro s concordes and it is possible to get 4 grammes with a tiny little bit of room left. when it's set to 4 grammes it's virtually as far as it will twist on.

I've been a DJ for a decade and that is the best tone arm adjustment explanation I have ever seen! Thanks Jonathan!
