How to Set Anti-Skate on Clearaudio Emotion
The Clearaudio Emotion turntable, like most turntables, has an anti-skate setting that you can use to make adjustments to the tone arm. The anti-skate feature adjusts the tone arm so that the needle sits in the middle of record grooves, and not pressed up against the edges of the groove. Setting the anti-skate ensures the best sound quality from the turntable. The anti-skate knob is located near the back of the tone arm.
