  • DO NOT LICK ANYTHING!!! CLEAN THE CONTACT POINTS BY RUBBING THEM ON YOUR PANTS DO NOT LICK

    DON'T DO IT

    licking does nothing but rust the inside of your tonearm. I don't know about you but I don't want to put my mouth in the ass of a turntable

  • yep. he DEFINITELY went old school on the cleaning tip. I haven't done that in 20 years. You live and you learn. BTW 3-3.5 is a pretty decent weight for scratching. Just my opinion, nothing written in stone.

  • whats the name of the song?

  • i haven't seen one good video from expert village yet

  • WHAT ABOUT USING CONTACT CLEANER????

  • hey i just got a tt for scratching and my needle is faced leaning one way so its like you can only go one way on the tt. is this okay or not?

  • licking contacts doesnt clean shit and will fuck shit up sooner or later this dude is a moron expert village is retarted

  • Another great video from IDIOT VILLAGE

  • Sorry, but this was a dumb-ass explanation of how to set-up your needles.  Never lick any of your equipment. Second, the 2 most important things for balancing your needle and tone-arm is how to set-up your height adjustment for your tone-arm in relation to your needle cartridge, and if you really want to be a good battle deejay and not have your record skip, you need to learn how to adjust and set-up the anti-skating on your turntable tone arm.

    true that man, true that.

    i never gonna put my mouth in the ass of a turntable xD

  • cheers for the tips, sorted my decks out a treat, the needle was so heavy it was making the platter slow to the point where i couldent drop tunes in, and the clean the head tip sorted my channel problems thanks dude.
