For normal music listening all the anti-skate you need will be supplied by the lead out wire of 

the tonearm to junction box unless you are using test records and measuring sine waves.  For 

music listening the push back of the wire is ideal for anti-skate. 

 

We supply mechanical anti-skate for those who require it. 

 

 

If you try adjusting the anti-skate with a groove 

less record, you will ruin the twist in the tonearm 

wire and void your warranty.  Do this with the 

mechanical anti-skate if you want that much anti-

skate. 
 

 

Playing Records 

 

Before playing a record, make sure that both of the tonearm VTA thumbscrews are slightly 

tight.  

 

Place the black washer on the platter, then the record, then the record clamp.  Always turn off 

the turntable before installing the record clamp. 

 

 

Press the power button on the motor. Sit down and enjoy listening to your records! 
 

General Use 

 

Allow at least 20 hours of break-in time.  

 

The motor will make some low-level noise. This will not get into the system. The motor and 

bearings will become quieter as you use your Prime 21.  Place the motor on a mouse pad for 

better isolation if this bothers you.
