They are passionate about helping you to apply the mathematics, geometry and physics behind vinyl playback to allow you to START FROM CERTAINTY on your analog setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WallySkater exists to make sure the effort you have put into the proper alignment of your cartridge isn’t ruined by your tonearm. It is the only device that can accurately measure tonearm horizontal forces (including anti-skate force) and is used to assess the health of your tonearm bearing \u0026amp; mechanical resistance from tonearm wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the WallySkater BEFORE aligning your stylus\/cantilever to confirm tonearm is not influencing cantilever angle. This is a good test to make on your tonearm periodically to ensure bearing health remains stable and routing of tonearm wires does not shift to influence tonearm behavior. Use the WallySkater again to apply proper anti-skating force before measuring for ideal azimuth angle of your cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper setting of anti-skating is essential to the alignment of the stylus within the groove, maintaining of even compression on the cartridge suspension system and to the preservation of both the stylus and the record grooves. Be CERTAIN you have your anti-skating set correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe WallySkater Pro Assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WallySkater Pro assembly is for frequent WallySkater users or for those less confident in their own dexterity. Change height of stylus above the platter with much greater ease and safety. Can be used on tonearms with or without finger lifts. The WallySkater Pro assembly is available as an upgrade to your existing WallySkater or can be purchased as an entire WallySkater Pro kit. This is a very helpful option and we welcome you to Contact Nirvana Sound for further details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVideos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing the WallySkater Pro\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cN_ybBsEmUU\" class=\"youtube\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure Tonearm Behaviour to Ensure Optimal Cartridge Performance\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9Smgb5ba1vs\" class=\"youtube\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWallySkater Instructional Series Part 1 of 3 – Setup\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eousixI84xY\" class=\"youtube\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWallySkater Instructional Series Part 2 of 3 – Adjusting Anti-Skating\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ru_oPr29Dbg\" class=\"youtube\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWallySkater Instructional Series Part 3 of 3 – Tonearm Swing Freedom\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7wTaMHbf1gM\" class=\"youtube\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectron microscope slow-motion video of vinyl LP\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GuCdsyCWmt8\" class=\"youtube\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.analogplanet.com\/content\/wam-engineerings-new-improved-wallyskater-v21\"\u003eStereophile, Michael Fremer, 2020\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.analogplanet.com\/content\/wam-engineerings-new-improved-wallyskater-v21\"\u003e…..you’ll get far greater accuracy using the WallySkater.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.analogplanet.com\/content\/wam-engineerings-new-improved-wallyskater-v21\"\u003eRead Review\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments\/Links\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nirvanasound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manuals\/WallySkater-Instructions-v1.92.pdf\"\u003eWallySkater Instructions.v1.92\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wallyanalog.com\/wallyskater\"\u003eWallyTools Website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nirvanasound.com\/contact-us\/\"\u003eArrange a Demonstration\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-readmore\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WallyTools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985231675713,"sku":"WAL-SKAT-PRO","price":650.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/WallyTools-WallySkater-1_1.jpg?v=1784162962","url":"https:\/\/www.magentaaudio.com.au\/products\/wallytools-wallyskater-pro-anti-skating-force-measurement-device","provider":"Magenta Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
