what others say, I have used the following procedures to set my own "anti-skate" on my own pivoted tonearm: 1) level TT/platter 2) set-up arm/cartridge for minimal tracking error, including proper VTA/SRA and VTF 3) use ""blank" sections of (test) LP to see if the arm drifts (without compensation) 4) use "anti-skate" compensation to correct drift 5) use test record and ears to fine tune arm in/out balance, and verify over time with actual Music.
I don't need anyone to tell me that my own Well Tempered Reference arm tends toward the spindle without compensation, However, my present arm has a pretty unique "pivot", as well. I wish I could remember what I did with my old SME 3009, but I can't!, really. I had a Rega RB300 for a while, but any anti-skating issues were swamped by the "wiggling counterweight", at least until I invented the "Plastic Milk Jug Fix". But I think I remember the Rega tended inward, too.
