The test plate without grooves, the so-called mirror, allows the appropriate size of the compensation force to be set without additional measuring instruments. The best check for the correct setting of the lateral force on the tip is the setting with the Anti-skating TEST Record, which is accurate and user-friendly.
What is the test record good for?
Often the lateral force setting is described on the same scale as the vertical pressure on the tip and should be set to the same value. However, this does not mean that if the transfer pressure is 2 g (20 mN), the lateral force is set to the same value. This force is much smaller, just to simplify the setting, the scales are described in the same way. When adjusting with a weight on the silon fiber, the lateral force changes by which groove the silon fiber is seated in. Also, the correct lateral force setting is not universal for a given turntable or cartridge. It depends primarily on the pressure, but also on the shape of the stylus, for example. Spherical styli, because of the greater friction between the record and the stylus, require more compensating force than elliptical or Shibata-type styli. Moreover, during the playback of the record, the magnitude of this lateral force on the stylus changes with the change in the lateral angle of the scan, and the magnitude of the compensating lateral force should change accordingly, which, both when using magnetic compensation and mechanically with a weight, can be achieved. The best check for the correct adjustment of the lateral force on the tip is to use the Antiskating TEST Record, which is accurate and very simple.
