3,5 way too heavy for old 45s. 2.5 just fine. And dont forget to adjust anti skating accordingly

I agree with the weight comment, but I always leave the anti skate off when back cuing.

Up to you, I wouldn‘t spin any of my records without anti skating set up properly:

You are quoting from an audiophile publication, which is aimed at getting the absolute perfect reproduction, in a perfect setting.

The video that I posted, is produced by a leading stylus manufacturer, and shows how to set up your turntable in a club setting. i.e. full of people banging and crashing about, and clumsy Dj’s trying to cue up the next record.

Also your quoted publication would, I’m pretty sure, be primarily concerned with 12” albums. There is more skate pressure present on albums than 7” singles.

As said, up to you how you set up decks.

care to explain why you think it‘s ok to leave anti skating off?

To allow for back cueing.

I‘ve been dj-ing for over 30 years and never had any issues back cueing records with anti-skating set correctly.

Let’s just agree to disagree.

No, it‘s the stylus

Yes and many great records intros have been damaged with this needless practice!

I did DJing for years and never backtracked, because I didn't want to ruin my records. If it was the stylus the burn would last all through the record.

I used to set the record going then put up the volume when finished talking. It always worked ok for me.

Just looked up it up. Didn‘t know you where a hip hop dj and into scratching, mixing and extensive back cueing.
