0:31 What's an optical stylus ?
-
hi mate, a few days ago I bought a new SYNQ xtrm-1 turntable as well as a Stanton 500V3 Cartridge/needle. I installed and adjusted everything as described in the little manual, but when scratching (or playback in reverse) the needle skips. I tried everything, went through all the steps again and again, the only thing that helps a little bit is making the tonearm heavier (4 grams), however in the store I was told that the Stanton 500V3 needs a Tracking Force of something in between 3 & 3.5 grams?

I'm soon getting a Stanton T.62 and I need to know what weight would be suitable for the 500 v3 cartridge for CASUAL LISTENING, I'm not a DJ and have no intentions to DJ on this turntable. Thank you.

What about the Shure M-447 as a general needle?

Get PICKERING XV15-150DJ! Amazing bass tracking!(Stanton magnetic corporation)!

Ah the old straight arm emulate technique, dependant on how much counterbalance weight your applying and tonearm height, i would personally recommend an headshell angle between 13 to 23 degrees.
-
about 30 degrees,i use technics 1200m3d's..
stanton sucks for scratchin',the m-44/7's and ortofon's are way 2 expensive so i'll advise any turntablist 2 use the standard audio- technica's,used them for over a year now withouth any complaints.
-
How far to the right and what turntable are you using?
-
i,ve got cheap audio technica needles and rotated them to the right just like the m-44/7's..
they won't skip like the stanton's and for a bargain you can scratch just as hard as shure's.
get shure m447s if your serious about scratching and turntablism, 500s wont last long and tend to skip much more often

This is the nicest video quality we've ever seen from you. Your information on the needle is even better.
