Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

RE: Yes, John ... you did say this: ...

"You can prove this by playing a test record with a blank ungrooved surface. Set antiskating so your tonearm remains stationary on the blank surface, then switch the speed to 45-rpm. Your tonearm should still remain stationary at either speed using the same antiskate setting."

Except that when actually playing a record ... the stylus rests in a groove.

So your 'test' ... doesn't hold, IMO. Being 'in the groove' suggests to me that spinning at 45rpm may well increase friction - and therefore need more anti-skate. The fact that the OP heard a problem in his R channel suggests that increased anti-skate is necessary for 45s.
