Me and vinyl have been getting back into it.

Here s how to properly cue up a song on a vinyl record. Vinyl records have been slowly making a massive comeback over the last five years and we wanted to find out why. However an even older musical product is recovering. None of my old records have skips and of the almost 800 used records i have amassed ever since getting back into vinyl three years ago not one has a needle skip.

Raise the cueing lever near the base of the tonearm to lift the arm swing the arm above the record and aim the needle so that when the cueing lever is lowered the needle will land in. Not long ago vinyl collecting was a niche hobby enjoyed by analog loving geeks ourselves included but things have changed. Over time you ll start to hear ticks and pops as the vinyl is gradually getting gouged in those areas. Awesome mix tape 2 was released after guardians of the galaxy came out making it one of the first commercially successful audio cassette tapes to be put out in years.
