    Reloop 7000s, another super OEM clone. I'll take a look again and check the height.

    You're right. I don't really care about record lifetime.

    As gentle as I can be. I'm not a gorilla!

    Took the plunge and bought a turntable. Nice thing about having a four channel mixer on my pioneer controller thing is that I can just hook it up and use it all together.

    I have a slight problem though. When I try and back-cue (is that the right word? Finding the first beat of the phrase by running the record backwards) the needle jumps out of its groove, into the 'previous' groove. That's not normal right? I've set the tracking force according to all the instructions for the cartridge (Ortofon Concorde DJ), disabled anti-skate and made sure the turntable is on a solid, flat surface but none of that helped. Anything else I should try?

    I smoothed it all out and pushed it into the corners with an 18" trowel and spiky roller. A long batton would have been more effective, I can see that.

    It's a two-part SLC I've used (arditex na) so I was married to the manufacturer's ratio of powder:latex (1 bag to 1 bottle). It came out pretty viscous and I imagine a thin skim coat is unlikely to run into the low spots unless I have a way of forcing it in there. Perhaps I could try upping the latex in the mix? The data sheet does suggest you can do that for smaller areas.

    Poured five bags of self leveller on my living room floor yesterday. Initial results look good this morning: smooth, at least, but there's areas where it definitely isn't flat. Or particularly level. Is that normal? Should I try and grind any higher spots down? Or pour another thin top layer and hope that fixes it? Or leave it because I'm only going to make it worse?

    Well this has become an extremely deep rabbit-hole. Thanks a lot?!
