Hi guys... well, i have the Trackmaster II SK Needles, I know they arent the best but oh well... I normally put 2.5 Grams of weight when i spin at home, but ill be spining on a club next week.. I was wondering if i can use the same weigh preasure, i think i ll have to put a liitle more weight for better sound and for not skiping... but how much will be good??.. i dont wanna burn my Records.. but i dont wanna skiping needle neither... so... how will be a good weight preasure for LIVE spin??... i hope u can help me...

Thanks in advance

does it skip when your at home?? if not then its perfect for the club.. if it skips once.. put a little more weight on it.. personally.. I just leave mine at the same setting... I never change it unless.. the record is slitly warped.

I run my carts fairly higher in the club as opposed to at home. I find in the club that there are a lot more opportunities for the needle to skip (people moving around near the booth, vibrations from all the extra speakers etc.

At home, 2.5, in the club, 4.0

i was using those needles... I had my weight set to 3 with height at 0 and antiskate would vary (mostly at 0). Still, I found I had skipping issues here and there with those needles.
But those settings mentioned above was what worked best for me.
