Adjusting the tracking force of your tonearm is one of the most important aspects of setting up your turntable.

You need to apply the right amount of downward pressure so that the needle can accurately track your recordings.

If this is not adjusted correctly, it can result in poor sound quality or, worse, damage to the records.

Luckily, balancing a turntable arm and properly adjusting the tonearm weight is a simple task that anyone can do at home. Follow our step-by-step guide and you'll be spinning those beautiful records in no time.
