hi
i've just bought the shure m44-7 cartridges and i have them on a 1210 mk2 technics turntable.the settings i made are: Tonearm height: 4.5mm Weight: 2.5g NO headshell weight Anti-skate: 0 those are the best settings i could make...but i have a problem when i try to scratch fast..it skips a lot!especially when i try to make fast chops..does anyone knows what settings are best for skratching and not skipping?

icrease the antiskipping, no? alternatively increase the weight, but dont overdo it.

that's gonna eat through your records if it's too heavy though. When i started scratching, I thought it was my needle setup, too.

Then I found out it had more to do with my own style.... now I use my elbow as a bit of a shock absorber and just change directions differently. I know "practice" isn't really what you want to hear, but I think it will help more than any other suggestion.

thanks guys.
i increased the weight,that worked a bit!
psylichon : i could say that it's my style that makes the needle skip but i dont think so, cause the previous needle i had,an old stanton(dont remember the type)wasnt skiping no matter what i was doing!but i must agree that practice is the best suggestion..  

if someone else has a diferent option about better setting pls inform me!
