Well, that's certainly what Frank Schröder thinks. Soundsmith information appears to have been sourced from him. And Frank would know. Right?
I'm now reminded of a Shure TTR test record I received with a V15 cartridge. Around here, somewhere. One of the bands includes an adjustment for anti-skate--you listen to the crackling distortion, and set your anti-skating value when the horrible sound is equal in both channels. I wonder if Frank has one of those?
In any case, I just set it and forget it. Like I said, I can't hear the difference, but I know I'm missing a lot. How could I not be?
If you can hear it, and if it's important to you, get an oscilloscope, or one of the various test records, or look up Frank and see what he tells you.
I wish my ears were younger so I could hear all this stuff. Then I too could get OCD, and commiserate with the rest of the analog uber alles bunch. On the other hand, it's better to have old ears, I think.
