How to Balance a Tonearm, set stylus tracking and adjust anti-skating on a turntable

We published a blog post about how to balance a tonearm on your turntable if you prefer written instructions with pictures: https://longplayvinyl.com/balance-tonearm/

In this video I explain how to balance a tonearm, set stylus tracking pressure and adjust the anti-skating on your turntable.

Getting a turntable might be very exciting but there are a few important things you need to set and adjust for optimal functioning and sound quality.

In this video we're working on a Technics SL1200 MK5 turntable however these instructions will apply to most (if not all turntables) that have a tonearm counterweight and adjustable anti skating.

Please do follow these instructions step by step. Setting your tonearm balance might have some issues and we're addressing those at around 5:30 mark in the video.

If you have any other questions about your tone arm balance, stylus tracking force or anti-skating, please do leave the comments below.

Thanks for watching
