I have a Pro-ject Debut Pro with the european Pick-It Pro stylus installed. It's fantastic, but I am having a few issues at the very start of records.
The Pick-it Pro stylus is tracking weighted to 2 grams, as per the instructions, with the anti-skate weight set to the second notch.
When I lower the stylus onto the edge/start of a record it very often jumps a little and skips a second or two at the beginning of the music. Lowering the stylus more carefully (manually) helps, but the tonearm lever itself when allowed to lower tends to skip.
I tried increasing the tracking weight of the stylus by 0.5g but this didn't help, and ended up putting it back to recommended 2g. I have read various takes online for other turntables, with a lot of quite specific answers as to why this is happening, so I thought asking for a Pro-ject Debut Pro would be the best.
How can I stop this from happening? Thanks
