sorry, urban myth. it's the shape of the stylus that causes needle burn, if its shape is not suitable for back cueing. any "dj" stylus is fine but many regular stereo stylus not.

You guys realize it's much harder to do a decent set w/out talking than with talking?

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

No, it‘s the stylus

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

I‘ve been mixing my own cleaning fluid for quite some time. My formula is 7 parts distilled water and 3 parts 100% ispropanol, i.e. 70% and 30%. plus a drop or two of dish detergent.

As said, up to you how you set up decks. care to explain why you think it‘s ok to leave anti skating off?

What‘s this bullshit comment all about?

Up to you, I wouldn‘t spin any of my records without anti skating set up properly: https://www.thehouseofmarley.com/blog/anti-skating-on-turntable#:~:text=An anti-skate mechanism%2C whether,anti-skate setting or dial.

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

Yes, very likely somebody was naughty with some clever algorithms.

If it was an one-off uncredited acetate, it would be a one-off uncredited acetate of a pop song.

I'm still struggling to get over what price the Traditions went for. Utter rubbish 45. Got it twice in Domar soul packs in the 90s and really struggled to pass it on. Nobody wanted it. SWONS.
