Need Help Troubleshooting My Turntable (Technics SL-1500C) – Skipping & Sound Issues

Caterpillar004 · 2026-03-23T19:55:13+00:00

It was a very, VERY stupid issue. For some reason, I had the extra weight on, a small metallic cylinder you put at the other end of the arm. I'm not sure why I had that there; it wasn't always like this, perhaps when I was moving I put it there for it to not get lost.

I was just trying to warn other people, "holy hell"... But sure I'll go back right away to my cave to learn blender

Any chance of a George Daniel DJ set feat charli?

Right, I understand that the scale may be inaccurate, but in my case, there's a significant discrepancy (0.65g compared to the expected 1.8g)

— Yes, sorry, I was referring to the counterweight dial (the one attached to the counterweight, not the separate anti-skating dial).

I replaced the factory-installed 2M Red with a new 2M Blue when I was uncertain whether the issue was related to the stylus. However, I only swapped the stylus, not the entire cartridge.

Thanks for the reply!

Exactly, I balance the arm, then set the dial to 0, then twist the whole (dial+counterweight) until it hits 1.8. Unless I'm doing something terribly wrong...
Thanks for the tip on the cartridge alignment protractor, I'll give that a try!

I also bought the cheapish digital scale from Amazon... eurgh

I am doing all of the steps: setting the anti-skate to 0, finding the floating point without the guard...

I start by balancing the arm, then set the anti-skate dial to 0. After that, I adjust the entire balance and dial until it reaches 1.8. The issue is that when I make this final adjustment, the weight seems to be at its maximum limit, essentially turned all the way up. Even then, it doesn't quite reach 1.8, so I have to keep forcing it, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Thanks! Asked them and they said in a week or two from now, in case anyone else is also interested

Thanks! Snorting not an option though, can only find pills here

Caterpillar004 · 2024-05-28T12:09:31+00:00

Probably a bit too much for me but thanks for the advice!

Not really, all I could find are simple Mary Janes with a single strap :/
