  His arms always have a degree of antiskate inherent by design because the wire loop from the VPI unipivot tonearms already adds some bias. He eschews a separate addition of antiskate because of this and it is probably the right call for VPI arms. However, for gimbaled arms, definitely not the right call.

    first thing I would do is to check if the counter weight setting is correct.
    
    if the effect is seen on multiple records, it is definitely a mechanical problem. IF just on one record, sometimes blowing against the problem will cut a correct path out of a very slight defect
    
    the rare exception might be a low compliance cartridge that is thrown out of the groove by sudden intense groove modulation, like the cannon fire in some recordings of the 1812 overture. Moving coil carts are often very stiff riding designs. the suspension compliance can often be looked up.
