#vinyl playback
- Antiskating — A mechanism or device for compensating centripetal force applied to a turntable tonearm, designed to counteract the natural tendency of the stylus to be pulled toward the center of the vinyl record. In the fine mechanics of audio playback devices or certain precision horological instruments, this structural system applies a calibrated lateral counterforce (via weights, magnets, or springs), ensuring equal pressure on both walls of the groove, optimizing stereo playback, and preventing premature wear.
