Anti-Skate Upgrade for the JMW-10 tonearms!<\/p>\n
Anti-Skate is one of the least understood forces acting on a tonearm. Skating force is created by friction between the stylus and the record, causing a force vector in a direction towards the center of the record when the headshell of the tonearm has an offset angle. Putting the stylus down on a flat, groove less record will cause the arm to move toward the center of the record.<\/p>\n
Arm manufacturers have tried to compensate for this force, but that is impossible because the force is constantly changing as the music and velocity change.<\/p>\n
VPI has conducted careful listening tests and determined that every tonearm they tried sounded better with its mechanical anti-skating disabled and the tracking force very slightly increased… VPI has a unique solution to anti-skating: the coiled wire of the JMW Memorial Tonearm acts as a spring and pushes the arm back without affecting the sound quality. The VPI JMW-10.5i Tonearm Anti-Skate Upgrade now gives you the option of a mechanical anti-skate device!<\/p>\n
If you have older VPI turntable\/tonearm combo that has “silver” junction box, a new “black” junction box would need to be purchased to use the anti-skate upgrade.<\/p>\n
Directions on how to install:
\n\u0095 The anti-skate mounts on the black junction box by removing the left front side screw using a #2 Phillips screwdriver and screwing the anti-skate mechanism into the now vacant hole. Tighten the nut once you have the shaft screwed all the way in.<\/p>\n
\u0095 Remove the counterweight and install the black D shaped piece on the counterweight stub as per photo. (Below)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u0095 Loop the line around the post with the multiple grooves and adjust the height of the anti-skate. When you are done the line should be level when the arm is resting in the armrest.<\/p>\n
\u0095 You can adjust the anti-skate by either moving the circular rubber rings away from the pivot (more force) or closer to the pivot (less force).<\/p>\n
\u0095 You no longer have to twist the lead out wire from the arm to the junction box to set anti-skate, just plug it in directly with no twist.<\/p>\n
