something wrong with my needle - i guess
hey guys,
since a couple of days, my dj booth is complete. since most talk about dj-ing is english, i sometimes find it hard to find the right phrase/expression, but my problem is (i hope i formulate it correctly, so u understand);
i think my needle is 'empty'/out-used ... or something like that.
its like this. i have had 1 TT for like 8 months, played a little bit on it, maybe some 5 hours total. since last week, my second turntable arrived. the needle of that table is the same as the one i had on the other, namely a stanton 500 AL (2, i guess). anyway, the newest TT plays well, when the needle is on the record, there's some 1 or 2 mm space between the needle crtridge and the record ...
so here's the problem;
the space between the record and the needle-cartridge on the other TT is almost nihil/nothing/njente/nada/zero
maybe this explain more; in the picture below, the blue part almost seems te be lying on the record ... its like its on it
my question is;
- is this bad for the record, or bad for my TT?
- needs the needle to be replaced? if so, do i only have to replace the needle, or the full package, so a complete cartidge? is this easy to do?
what do u guys advise me .... i just started mixing for a week, and sometimes, although i read a lot here for background info, i can not really understand the true meaning of words, although my english ispretty good... i mean, sometimes, i think a stylus is the same as a cartridge, is the element the thing u mount the cartridge on ...????
thnx in advance for help!
