My arm stays in the same place when the vinyl is spinning however I watched on Youtube (link below) that even though the stylus is in the groove during playback it may not be sitting perfectly in the groove (i.e to either side).....

How do you know if this is the case?
My sound quality seems fine to me, I just want to make sure as I have some PJ vinyl on its way to me and don't want to ruin them, or any vinyl I already have for that matter.
My arm did slide in last time I played a vinyl (as per my previous thread) but I believe that was due to dust, as when I blew on the stylus it fixed the issue.
When I purchased my turntable from a second hand store a few years ago I had the cartridge and stylus changed, the counter weight adjusted, I cannot recall if the dude that done this for me adjusted the anti-skating dial.
A friend of my bro in laws did the swapping of the cartridge/stylus and counterweight adjustment, cannot recall him touching that anti-skating dial.
Thank f*** I watched that video, had to check my stylus is spherical, lucky it is, phewww.
