I know this is kind of in the wrong section so before anything I apologise to the mods ...
Basicly, I bought a 2nd hand pair of Technics 1210s in very good condition just last week, however, when playing records on them both, using ortofon concorde pro needles, the needles seems to sit very lightly on the record which causes the occasional jump and a lack of traction when cueing up
It also affects the sound quality significantly as the needles arent really sitting deep in the grooves of the vinyl to bring out a clean low end
I was just wondering if there is an "ideal setup" in terms of the amount of "anti skating", the degree of weight on the tone arm, and the height of the tone arm
On my previous set of 1210s the sound was what I expected from my set up, very very good! But my old 1210s were very old and copying the "set up" to the newer decks just doesn't work!
SO, how do you guys have your decks set up?! Somebody please help me get back the sound quality I deserve after paying all this money! Cheers
