Default Vinyl record deck , cartridge / stylus question

Anti-skate badly misadjusted?


In article , says...
Right channel on loud sections has nasty , clipping like, distortion
on one channel. Swapping cartridge leads the distortion swaps sides.
Maximum weight for this cartridge in the notes is 2 gm but distortion
disappears at 4 to 6 gms.


Forcing the arm outwards by pushing via a nylon cable tie removes the
distorsion and pushing inwards makes it worse so presumably needs more
anti-skating. I had to rebalance the tone-arm weight for presumably a
heavier cartridge than the unseen original, does that need more anti-skate
force , i thought it should go up with more stylus weight.
