Why doe's the styli needle jump on my 12"?
Contents of the video
Alright folks, a couple of people have emailed me asking me why is it that when I do a spin back or make sharp movements on my turntables, why is it that the styli jumps out of the groove? Now then, if you look, see where my pen is here, you can see a thin piece of metal. Now that is in every single box when you get a new turntable with your head shell, which is this guy here. Very quickly, that's the head shell. That is known as the cartridge and this guy here is known as the styli. These do come in different styles and different sizes but this bit here is always known as the cartridge and this bit here is always known as the styli.
Now the reason they put this thing in here is because it's an extra weight. It gives more down pressure therefore you've got more pressure on the styli, the needle, whatever you want to call it making it It'll take you one second just to make sure that weight is there, alright? So that's one reason possibly why the needle, the styli is jumping on the record. Check that. If you have got that weight and the styli is still jumping then please look at another video I've done on setting up the tonearm. I hope I've been a help. Practice and enjoy. Thank you for watching.
