@BlAckVoMitsOfHeLL Whats tables and needles are you using? Most likely, its a bad connection. Clean the contacts in your tonearm out.. also, dont over tighten it. Its common...

Actually, NO...you do not want to ever throw away the auxiliary weight. Different cartridges are different weights. Some (like Denon DL-110) weigh just over 4 grams. There are other cartridges that weigh up to 13 grams. It's with those heavier cartridges that the auxiliary weight is absolutely essential to get the arm to balance.

Nice tutorial. I would add that the adjustments for arm height, tracking force and anti-skate can all be fine-tuned by ear and it's worth the time and effort. The right tracking force is an absolute figure and I hate manufacturers who say "1.5 to 3 grams" instead of 2.25 or whatever. The right height adjustment is important in getting the best sound from the cartridge. Usually you want the top or bottom of the cartridge to be parallel to the record. Or the face to be perpendicular.

bahahah thanks for the tutorial, man, item number one, the little extra weight was the issue for me,,, i'd never bought new techs so i never had to remove those little fuckers, i spent like 2 days scratching my head going "wtf man" wondering why i couldn't get tracking...
