So I googled a bit and found a few pages that do agree with what you guys are saying. I will give it a shot, though I don't have any skipping problems as it is. However, there is one advantage to having some anti-skate when you back cue, if the record does skip it will go to the out side so to get back to you cue point you just need to speed it up a bit. I find it is really easy to get back to where I was if it does skip this way. I suppose though if you are actually scratching and not just cueing records you would probably prefer no skips.

your one of the only people ive ever met who understands this


Why thank you

And auujay, if you can eliminate skips completely, why not ? I see your point about it skipping towards the outside, but I'm fine with not having to worry about that at all

what's up with the plastic sheet anyway?

you're not supposed to use that on the platter.



anti-skate should be set to zero when you're spinnin'...

i can totally see how setting your anti-skate to zero would help if you're back cueing, but havent been able to tell a difference at all with three different carts. so.... i set it using the one sided promo method, thinking that this would give me a bit better sound quality, especially between left and right channel in stereo.

You can put the plastic sheet/wax paper/etc between the platter and the slipmat for increased slipiness.
