can someone help me with my problem? i just installed a new cartridge on my turntable (gemini xl-100) and i can't seem to get it to work correctly. i have a GRADO phono pickup GREEN model. the tracking force is 1.5 grams. i had the anti-skate at 2 and the tracking force at 2. the problems start everytime i get towards the end of the lp. about halfway through the record, the needle just doesnt seem to move on. instead, it just keeps repeating the same groove over and over. do i need to adjust the anti-skating? should i add more weight on the tonearm?

someone told me that i needed to place the tonearm above the platter and then increase my anti-skating to see if the tonearm starts heading towards the center. i tried this suggestion, but my tonearm doesnt move at all when i adjust the anti-skating. does anyone know what this means?

thanks,

sjp
