I just purchased this TT, what settings are optimum for the counterweight and anti skate? Thanks everyone.

Honestly I ended up returning it since it skipped every time I walked by. It's shock absorption is minimal and it's pretty lightweight, so even with the counterweight set a bit heavy it still skipped when testing and I won't subject my precious vinyl to a TT with a heavy stylus.

I agree on keeping the anti skate at zero. Anything else results in tons of skipping. I set the counterweight at about 1.25. I changed the cartridge, though.

Leave the anti-skate set at 0 for records in normal shape. Set it for records with lots of skips. More skips-higher number. My counterweight I have approx 2g. These work for me. It varies depending on the vinyl quality.

The numbers are on the side of the skate right next to the button, however since my daughter practice figure skating different instructors approach me with the same opinion -those kind of skates are not good for balance even if the are practical- so I had to get rid of them and buy the white boot lace kind. I hope my review helped you. Happy 4th

I have had my turntables for three years now and no issues did you go through the whole Zero Tone balance set proper weight if not try to see id anti skate works! If the tonearm is balanced you should be able to turn the anti skate and the tone arm moves while the arm is floating! I hope that helps!

I think Alex Stiles has a great idea. I find the rig so versatile and light that I'm often on and off the shoulder, so I haven't felt a need for a counterweight. Although at times it might be useful.

There is no setting or otherwise mechanical adjustment for the stride adjustment. You simply vary the effort you put into the stride, i.e., you can go short or long. I would have liked to keep mine but there was some part that was bad (inside the locked gear housing). The Schwinn Company wanted me to become a mechanic and start taking the thing apart while on the phone with them to "troubleshoot" and fix the problem. My time is too valuable for that. Thank goodness for Amazon's return policy which allowed me to return it and get all of my money back.

Well, to be honest I do not know if the stiga would be better than the killer spin. When I first bought the killer spin I did not think it was going to be as good as I thought it would. however I was surprised of how much speed and spin it has. Another thing is that stiga in my point of view is more known brand, but again you're buying it ready to go so it is kind of a bargain for the price...it could be really good or so so. I don't know your level of table tennis but I think the killer spin it's a excellent start for beginners and intermediate levels. And the price is not bad.

Get the STX 3000 Megaforce. I've been using it for over a year grinding chicken wings - about 65 lbs a month. They have THE best customer service!

Read my post titled "AT-PL120 anti-skating miscalibration". Set the anti-skating to zero, then play a record that has exhibited this effect. If it sounds better, you can be fairly certain that the problem has been found. What to do about it is up to you; the best thing to do is to have a very well-experienced technician with the proper instrumentation calibrate the anti-skating on your unit. If it is under warranty, maybe A-T will "foot the bill". Otherwise, you could do what I have done so far with my '120, which is to leave the dial at zero until I can do something better about it. [I still don't know whether there is a service manual available for this model, and I don't know whether there even IS any way to (re-)calibrate its anti-skating.] There is at least one other possibility: Because this problem happens only after the arm goes past a specific physical point, and only in the right channel, you may want to have someone check the cartridge wires where they leave the tonearm and go into the "underworks" of the turntable. One (or more than one) of them may be damaged.

I mean it says 176 by these boards seem pretty tough. I ve seen YouTube videos where cars run over them and they don't break. If you re concerned just get the stereo cruiser wood version. Idk if amazon offers them. Another brand is z-flex they offer crusiers and tiny skateboards. Then there others like sector 9 and stuff but again don't know if amazon offers them. But they are a little bit more because they are wood. Idk hopefully this helped. I bought my stereo for $40 bucks on here . Which is a good deal? I mean you should try it for that price.

It's a good starter skate for 3 1/2 to 4. Got it as a gift for my almost 4 yo and she loves them!

It works great have no issue with anti skate but the straight arms are more for scratching. Being you state your a non Dj than go with the S arm less wear and tear on records.

TTUSB definitely. Out of the box, the TTUSB05 has a needle weight set so high it will damage her records after a few plays. The TTUSB however's needle weight is fully adjustable and has an anti-skate on it. Another option could be the Audio Technica AT-PL150. That one is much, much higher quality and after you set it up for her, will be very gentle to her records.

Just play around with the console, you'll get the hang of it easy enough. you won't screw it up. as far as peddling backwards, I only know it will without resistance. I'll check tonight if I can peddle backwards with resistance levels.

Most ride - " self-aligning " cleats because they allow more floating adjustment while riding. A fixed cleat wont allow that slight adjustment of your downstroke. No-one has " perfect " posture and " self-aligning " compensates for slight deviations.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like. First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)
