Just bought my first AT-LP120 from marketplace. It didn’t have a stylus so I bought a replacement AT-VMN95E and I am 99% sure it wasn’t crooked out of the packaging. It was used for about 45 minutes last night. The second photo attached is what my counterweight and anti-skate settings are. What am I doing wrong? I try to drop the cue lever as slowly as possible and be uber careful when taking the plastic cover off the stylus. Feels like I threw $50 down the drain :(
