[quote=Anonymous]PP here. See this diagram: https://hub.yamaha.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/ultra-hifi-1-parts-of-a-tonearm.jpg You want a turntable with a tonearm that has an adjustable counterweight. This lets you set the proper amount of tracking force (weight on the needle). This is critical for both good sound and avoiding record wear. Better quality turntables usually also have an anti-skate adjustment knob near the counterweight (but not on the arm itself). You also need to make sure that the cartridge uses the standard mounting system so you can replace it in the future. Some of the cheap models have non-replaceable cartridges and will become useless paperweights over time as the stylus wears out.[/quote]
