Could anyone please tell me what is the best amp for this record play that is under $150.00?
The problem is …
The problem is certainly the cartridge, not the turntable. It may have been damaged somehow.
Thank-you for your …
Thank-you for your reply. I re-balanced the tonearm again today, just in case. Unfortunately, I can still hear the cartridge touch the record from time to time. This will occur more often if the record has a slight warp. Albeit very brief, the noise is unpleasant.
I reduced the tracking force to 15mN, and the problem goes away. Will this be okay, or do you think is it time to return the turntable?
If you have done …
If you have done everything correctly it is not possible for the cartridge body to touch the record. The only two possibilities are that the cantilever of the stylus is broken (collapsed) and riding too low, or you in fact have too much downforce dialed in.
Very good video, …
Very good video, thanks for your efforts. I balanced my tonearm by floating it so the stylus tip was hovering about 1mm above a record placed on the platter. I then dialed in 18mN as you show. However, on quiet sections of a record, you can clearly hear the cartridge occasionally touch the record surface. Any ideas what may be wrong?

Alright I got it when I was setting the weight to 1.8 grams I only turned the dial instead of the counterweight, thanks for you replies you have been helpful!
Clockwise! The …
Clockwise! The weight moves towards the cartridge after you’ve zeroed it. It’s a simple lever. Forward more weight, back less weight!
That was my guess …
That was my guess but I’ve must of redone the steps 50 times to now avail. First screwed on the counterweight to level the tonearm, then set the dial to 0 making sure the counterweight is not moving. And then setting the dial to 18 again making sure the counterweight itself is stationary. The tonearm seems to then lowers with force as opposed to when it was level. However when I attach the anti-skate weight it does not move slightly it moves violently. Does clockwise vs. anti-clockwise matter???

The anti-skate …
The anti-skate weight’s only purpose to move the arm to the right. It counteracts the natural tendency for the needle to want to skate into the middle of the record. If it’s doing it when you let go of the tonearm and only moving an 1/8″ of an inch backwards or less, this is normal. If it is swinging wildly back, there is not enough weight on the counterweight. it should be 1.8 grams (18 on the dial).
Ok, so why when I …
Ok, so why when I attach the anti-skate weight and let go of the tonearm It moves the tonearm all the way to the right??? Without the weight this does not happen.
The belt is self …
The belt is self centering so as long as it is in the cog/gear then it is perfectly fine.
Just got this …
Just got this turntable and about to set it up. However, I have two quick questions, wrapping the drive belt around the hub does the belt have to be completely symmetrical around the hub I tried to make it as even as possible all around the hub, but am I stressing over nothing? Also when I actually play a record what is the proper what to stop it? would it be to lift the tonearm lift lever and then turn off the turntable or directly lift the tonearm off the record?
I tried them on the …
I tried them on the top and bottom alike, either way it sounds slow. Its really weird.
If the platter is …
If the platter is turning, it’s physically impossible for 45 not to be faster. The two gears on the motor are different sizes so they will make the platter turn at 2 different speeds, just like the gears on a bicycle. Are you moving from the top to the bottom gear?
Ok when I play a …
Ok when I play a 45s on this thing it sounds slow either way I set the belt up. Do you guys have the same problem?
