  1. Thanks for your insight Chris, I guess I have been misled or confused by too much information & rehearch. I just wanted everything to be in tip top shape when scratching & spinning.
  2. When you say you tightened the tonearms, with the spring adjustment what do you mean? Are you referring to the anti-skate spring/cancelling spring or whatever it's called?
  3. My current anti-skate setting is at 0 based on sure's recommendation for the N-447. That's what I'm running on my Techs 1200MK2. Thanks for the info!
  4. Thank you for your response. I was just wondering if the fact that my anti-skate was not working will affect my cartridge and tonearm performance in any way. Based on your response it appears that there's a possibility that my anti-skate may not be the culprit. I was trying to avoid messing with any of the pivots since any further damage may be irreversible. Nevertheless, I appreciate your reply. I prefer to stick with my techs though, I really don't have any extra cash at the moment to purchase a new pair of decks. Thanks again for the suggestion, I will definitely keep that in mind.
  5. Well I have been in the process of reviving my 1200MK2s. Just replaced the rca on one and had an internal ground mod performed. So far so good, except, my anti - skate doesn't work at all. In order to test my anti - skate, since I do not have any vinyl with a blank side, I simply position my counter weight all the way to the rear of the tonearm so that it's suspended & move my anti skate value from 0 - 3 & vice versa. Nothing happens there is no movement of my tonearm from the spindle to the arm rest...absolutely nothing happens. My tonearm remains at rest. As for basic/intermediate scratching, I am quite surprised there isn't much skipping at all. The needle stays in the groove for the most part. Of course it can be improved but it only jumps when intense pressure is applied with techniques such as scribbles etc. I guess my question here is: If I do have an Anti - Skate issue should I replace the fixing plate or do you think I should just replace my tonearm?
  6. There are some nice tracks in this mix. Enjoying it so far.
  7. Classic by Kanye/Rakim/Nas/Krs is quite a track. Common had a good year also but I would say Classic.
  8. I think it's just cool and kinda more interesting.
  9. I just edited with the link-totally forgot.
  10. I just wanted to lay down a short session. I think it's like 22 minutes or somn. Enjoy the mix and leave some feedback if possible, thanks.

  11. Not saying it's 'the problem' of all problems, it's just one of my frustrations with being a dj. To me, it's the only one thing that plays on my mind. Everything else in my case can work itself out. Finding yourself in the real world is an entirely different beast.
  12. Cool..never heard of the battle but congrats for catching third place.
