This is my set up if it helps to compare to - tonearm height, counterweight position and whatever that dial is that I forget, with concordes. What decks are you using?
You could just increase the tonearm height and bring the counterweight forward a little bit, both incrementally, until you donβt experience the issue. I would start with the tonearm height. The official instructions are probably based on normal playback. I wouldnβt worry too much about precision - youβre not going to gouge any 45 12s and I presume youβre not wanting to keep them NM condition. Many DJs put pennies and the like on the headshell to stop the issue you have, but I wouldnβt recommend that!
I donβt have problems, unless the odd record is especially warped or has scratches at the cue point and I need to be more gentle with it.
PS - post your setup (and mixes). Iβve daydreamed for a long while about combining my digital and vinyl setups and am always interested in how others do it. Vinyl is a billion times more fun and rewarding so my Pioneers are very dusty! It would be nice to be able to do mixes that are across vinyl and digital tho, as there is a lot of stuff on digital that I may never be able to obtain on wax.
