Just recently got 2 Vestax PDX2000 off my mate but not sure on what the weights should be set at. Whats the best way to have them?? If i put them on the heaviest they will go will this damage the needle or vinyl or will it be better?
Cheers  |

i was told that its too much weight at the front if you do that, because i had mine set like that too. is it a straight arm or curved? height adjustment or fixed?

What are you using the decks for? Mixing or beat juggling? It really depends what your using them for that determines where the weights should be at. You should set these up to your preference!

Don't have the weights too far over to the end of the arm then, you won't need a lot of weight on it at all to be honest. It's only if your scratching or beat juggling you need more weight, but this will obviously wear down your records a lot quicker. Just have a play about with the weight in different places and see what you prefer yourself, because everyone's different, and some people handle the records more than others etc, so it really is down to personal preference!!
