Thank you for showing when to move the dial and the whole weight. None of the other video’s I’ve seen has made that crucial distinction clear. I know finally have my new turntable set up. THANK YOU!
You sir are the hero of the day. To think, after all these years, and I never paid any attention to proper adjustments. I bought a quite expensive record yesterday and one of the tracks skipped all way through. The vinyl is in absolute mint condition. I cleaned it anyway. No, didn’t help. Then I found this: boom! Not one skip after I followed your instructions. Thank you!
Thanks Greg. I treated myself to a Technics deck a few weeks back. I thought I had done it wrong as the sound output was terrible. Your video confirmed I had dove it right rather I have a damaged stylus. The stylus has gone back to be replaced. Once again thank you for such an easily understood video.
Thank you! I spent my entire night last night frustrated because I couldn't figure out WTF I was doing trying to balance the tone arm. The tiniest bit of this video and it all makes sense. Play on!
After rotating the counter weight to level the tone arm, lock it down and then set the fine adjustment for the stylus and anti skating. To check if the anti skating is accurate, If you have a one sided record that has a smooth side, play it and see if the tone arm deviates too much one way or the other and so you can make adjustments accordingly.
@@Vingul I can't see how it can really, whether the stylus is playing on a grooved record or smooth should not make a difference as it is the same material. That's my take for what it's worth.
Thanks. Just bought some ortofon night club needles and needed to watch your video to know how to set the to earn weight to specified recommendations by ortofon
Thank you. I just got the same exact setup (1200 and Shure WhiteLabel) and it is definitely no doubt a little different from the record players I had in my youth. So this explained it simply and easily and could not have made it easier to do.
Nice video. Thanks. Just got a SL 3300 from a house clearance. A few issues that I might try to sort. It needs a new stylus to try out. Don't want to spend much in case I cant fix it. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks
The grams on my headshell say +2..but my sound is still horrible. My shure cartridge cost 800.00. I really don't want to replace it. I'm using a pre amp.
I think this is a good quick video to get things approximately correct. When you say start by getting it to balance, there are a range of heights this could be. It should be zero where stylus and vinyl live up horizontally.. then add required weight. Here your initial balancing is far too high.
what about the height of the tone arm? Should that be level?How do you measure that? Do you put more slip mats underneath if it is nose down and tail up?
Is the tonearm supposed to resist/move towards the right when it is floating? like how are you supposed to get it to float but also so that it can actually sit and track a record? great video btw
FYI: Please show us the reason for your tutorial not starting with your resume. If you find it necessary to include your resume, add it at the end. Thank you!

STILL my favourite balancing vid. Explanative; easy to follow; authentic. I send others here!😎
Shouts Out to Greg! 👊🏾

Have seen this suggestion before but surely that will harm your stylus?

Thank you for the video. It’s direct and easy to follow. My question is about height adjustment, how can you tell if you have the correct arm height?
Hey man! Just got my first Technics. Wasn't too sure about the counterweights. Your video really made a difference in how my records sound. Thanks!
The 1200 is the best turntable ever made and still is.

Awesome! It's always nice to see more How-To Vids out there, helping people set up their stuff properly.
Very informative and distinctly very helpful, grateful and many many thanks.
Love Smartbar!!!! Place is legendary!
Nice video and choice of track
I remember this guy from Purgatory Pizza😅 This is a great video! Thanks for the info.
So simple and short video 👌🏻
Superb tutorial. 😀
I have those same Slipmats!!! Love Grammaphone!
Easy video, my whole counter weight was backwards.
thanks dude. hey from Istanbul
Fantastic video, really helped me, thank you
Hey smart bar I'm using a tractor control on my corn fields. How do I harvest it?
Cool I thought I knew speakers and turntables lol. Thanks friend
Base dial adjustment. When is this necessary
Nice video. Thanks. Just got a SL 3300 from a house clearance. A few issues that I might try to sort. It needs a new stylus to try out. Don't want to spend much in case I cant fix it. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks
Thank you very much that was very helpful 😊
What about the height adjust on the tonearm itself? Is that not part of it?
Are you doing this with the the cueing up or down?
The grams on my headshell say +2..but my sound is still horrible. My shure cartridge cost 800.00.
I really don't want to replace it.
I'm using a pre amp.

Thank you so very much.
Quick and easy, thank you😁
I’m not sure if keeping the anti skating at 3 is a good default...?
it is recommended to match antiskate with the manufacturer recommended tracking force of the cartridge
I’m
Having issues with the needle skipping back and staying in the same place
The only part i appreciated was putting on Andres record...
Awesome! Thanks
Peeette!!! great channel!
My tonearm counter weight doasant have a numberd dial on it as its a kam ddx750 but I can't see any help video on here about my kam
Get it to float/balance and then add weights. Or, twist it in and use a set of specially designed scales to measure the desired weight.
Simple useful instructions... Thanks!!
+Harry Pena thanks
Amazing video help me!
Thank you
Thank you for the Video, Whats the Vinyl name of the Andrés record??
Andrés - New For U
Thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks Bro.
Thank you!!!
Tonearm height?
Is the tonearm supposed to resist/move towards the right when it is floating? like how are you supposed to get it to float but also so that it can actually sit and track a record? great video btw
If your tone arm is moving to the right when it's floating, you need to adjust your anti-skating dial.
What to do if u don't have antiscating ?
get a better turntable

at 2:39 you say to "dial" I don't understand really this point ??
The dial is the numbers you see on the counterweight
Thanks
very cool to learn..:)
thank you! xoxoxoxoxxo
i have numarks.... im fucked........
You didnt got over tonearm height at all
I use anti skate 0.
Je vergeet de hoogte aftestellen

Can someone just make a video to the point? I don't need the intro
Remove the counter weight and stick a 5p coin on the sylus, thats how we used to DJ back in the day !
thank you
