How does this cartridge perform on records with skips? If it is designed to resist skips in the DJ/club context, how about on ordinary playback?

These should resist jumping and skipping during regular playback with no problems. But bear in mind, it depends on how badly your record is scratched. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do.

As a owner of these needles I would start by saying they are built rock solid and perform 100% well for me. The only variable would be a new or inexperienced DJ or Vinyl user my have his/her settings wrong on their turntable. Make sure your counterweight and height are balanced properly and your anti-skate is at a fair setting to allow the needle to set in the center of the record groove. If those 3 settings are set properly your Shure M44-7's will perform superior to alot of needles on the market today. If those 3 settings are wrong you would have an issue with skipping with any needle not just Shures. Normal playback is easy no skipping for me, same with scratching and trick mixing. I have no skipping and I am a club DJ. www.djdlowofficial.com

I bought the AT PL 50. After ten records the speed was way off. I'm looking for something better. Good luck.

I'm sorry, I only use it to play records. I know it worked to begin with but haven't used that feature since I bought itl.

I've never had a problem with CDs skipping, but I'm not sure if there's any sort of "anti skip" technology built into it.

Have owned 2 of this type. It's more oval. Usually plays very well. Over time it skips. That's why I have 2. I use one or the other daily.

I bought the turntable on the recommendation of a friend who is a professional dj... he told me that for casual listening, the included stylus was fine. If you are still interested in upgrading, I can ask him if you like.

It's probably the recording you're listening to. Try a different track and/or player

Hi Gary,As I didn't use this feature I can only repeat what I see from the user guide that comes with the unit as follows."Recording to disc from the RIAA Phono Inputs" (So I think the anwser is YES)Note: Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.It is also possible to perfom manual recording to disk from the RIAA Phono input source. Hope this helps. I think it is an excellent device.Maria Hi Gary,As I didn't use this feature I can only repeat what I see from the user guide that comes with the unit as follows."Recording to disc from the RIAA Phono Inputs" (So I think the anwser is YES)Note: Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.It is also possible to perfom manual recording to disk from the RIAA Phono input... » Read More Hi Gary,As I didn't use this feature I can only repeat what I see from the user guide that comes with the unit as follows."Recording to disc from the RIAA Phono Inputs" (So I think the anwser is YES)Note: Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.It is also possible to perfom manual recording to disk from the RIAA Phono input source.

Sorry to ask the obvious, there is an output level control on the Bellari, have you tried turning that up? Otherwise it could be your cartridge on the turntable too.

It's supposed to play both CD and MP3 discs. But whether it's a CD or an MP3 disc in the player, the playback often makes huge skips. Often when a disc is playing, the readback reports "no disc". There seems to be no rhyme or reason. I've been playing with it for several weeks to try to find some consistency. It does its skip-to-my-loo routine on discs that played well and all the way through previously and then plays the same disc a few days later without skipping. Ditto brand new discs. Very aggravating! I should have sent it back.

You can skip tracks in bluetooth. As for me the unit is very loud for its size. Also it depends on your music, i notice that some of my songs are loud since they are recorded in high quality bitrate. While some songs that have low recording it won't be that loud with the volume at max.

I have this issue as well. Occasionally the speaker will start skipping (about 1/8 - 1/4 second of music goes missing, once ever 30-60 seconds) and will continue to do this. During some sessions it won't do this. I've experienced this with an iPhone 4s and various Windows Phones. This is the only Bluetooth speaker I've seen this skipping on, and I've used a lot of different Bluetooth speakers and headphones.

FYI: Prior to 2013, this turntable shipped with a DJ cartridge/stylus rather than the AT95E it currently ships with. The original cart DJ cart was certainly more susceptible to pickup some rumble as the motor is not as well isolated as some more expensive turntables and this could be an issue with classical records; for pop music the DJ cartridge was acceptable. I don't own an AT95E cartridge but I have other AT current cartridges at a similar price point and they are very good with classical records.

Mine doesn't skip, but I usually sit to listen to lesson cd's or use the device right before bedtime. If I need to get up and move around, I haven't had any concerns. It plays without interruption.

The button doesn't skip tracks or adjust volume. It does however pause the music, and unpause. Hope this helps.

Leonard, I gifted the Audio Technica turntable to a friend, thus, I cannot specifically answer your question with any authority. However, I have read that "purists" swear by a virgin vinyl recording played through an excellent turntable (into a very high quality amplifier with top signal-to-noise specs), as having superior dynamic range - as compared to a digital rendition of the same musical selection. To my untrained ears, the digital rendition, captured at the right sample and bit rate, will ALWAYS sound superior to any analog playback. This is simply due to things like wow, flutter, low frequency rumble, and other such artifacting that is unique to the analog playback process using a turntable. Then there is always the ever-present noise that can often be introduced in (both vacuum tube and solid state) preamps and routine audio frequency amplifier signal processing. Just my humble opinion, but I could be wrong!

I'm using Shure's M44-7 I play vinyl records and control vinyl with Traktor Scratch. I heard good reports from people who use the Shure Whitelabel. Shure WHLB Whitelabel DJ Turntable Cartridge If you're not familiar with cartridge setup stay with the all in one units, such as the Ortofon Concords, Shure WHTLB or any pre mounted phono cartridge, it makes setup easier.
