What is the Turntable Anti-Skate Weight?

This anti-skate weight is a crucial component for maintaining optimal performance on your vinyl record player's tonearm.

Crafted from a combination of durable metal and a strong nylon wire, it ensures longevity and effective anti-skate functionality.

How does the Anti-Skate Weight improve sound quality?
