Hi, I hope someone here can help me.
I recently got a turntable (Rega P6 + Exact Cart), I'd been wanting one for what felt like the last 25 years and finally made the jump.
While waiting for it to arrive I bought some Vinyl and also borrowed my Mum's record collection.
Now some of the stuff is in a bit of a state (40 years have taken there toll) but some aren't too bad.
However, On the brand new stuff, I've noticed that even if there's so much as a smudge the needle is skipping. I've watched a few setup videos and have an arm pressure weight gauge. All seems OK.
What am I missing? I just don't recall needles being so sensitive back in the day? Or even at my last demo (A few years back).
Any help or advice greatly appreciated!
