Regarding anti-skating and tracking force compensations: I recommend two products: a) Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs' GEODISC ( $25 retail ) for cartridge alignment. (If you have money to burn Dennesen's Geometric Protrator (?) does the same for much more money.) b) Audio Technica's (The folks who bring you Telarc's Digitally Mastered discs) 2 lp Test Record Set for checking out everything from cartridge alignment, cartridge overhang, anti-skating, tracking, stereo imaging (speakers), and more. $30 and worth every penny. I use both. Note that every time the tracking force is modified the anti-skating must also be modified, at least on turntables that have adjustments for both forces.
