  Agree massively with all that. Itauma looks like a talent. Be keen to see where he goes.

  Really can’t believe the scoring for the Fisher win. WTF.

  Astonishingly foul. And that was after having drunk loads of other stuff. Unfinishable.

  I keep looking at this to try and predict the likely scale of enforcement/punishment, although no idea if it’s a reasonable comparison

  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 don’t experience the issue. I would start with the tonearm height. The official instructions are probably based on normal playback. I wouldn’t worry too much about precision - you’re not going to gouge any 45 12s and I presume you’re 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 wouldn’t recommend that!

  I don’t 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). I’ve 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.

  Is this the same on all records? How vigorous are you being?

  I don’t know about anyone else but a general thought as I compulsively check this thread:

  The @ user [number] stuff in here is, while offering quite a lot excellent food for thought, hard to follow and understand the intentions and consistency of reasoning and contribution of.

  Thanks to anyone who has registered from other communities at this difficult time but I feel it would generally help this thread to give a relevant user name and generally contextualise why you are here to distinguish yourselves from potential troll behaviour.

  This is the worst beer I have ever tasted.

  Stunned that it exists.

  HOW has this passed anything?!
