I've heard that using a grooveless disc to determine the optimum antiskating
gives significantly different results from using a disc with heavily modulated
sine waves and looking for clipping. Allegedly, having the tip of the stylus
rubbing against smooth vinyl isn't the same as having the sides of the stylus
bouncing around inside a groove.

Myself, I wouldn't know. My Antique Research turntable never discovered
antiskating, so I just set the vertical tracking force to the max that
Shure recommended, and bought a CD player as soon as I could.--Steve
