   Question. on a very cheap turntable, like a 1970’s standard bsr turntable that came with most stereos with radio. Can you get near the same effect by attaching a weight on the back of the arm. I use a bunch of magnets on the back untill it is very light. It seems to work better than the spring weight adjustment that’s on them. I do this also on the battery record players.

   Good stuff. I use 3.5 g on my qbert ortofons maybe a little too much ;/ a time ago somebody told me that you can also put too little weight on and that would also be a bad idea. Not only the record would obviously skip, but also not good for the vinyl is that correct ?
