How often should i change my needles ?

:?:

when they start sounding shit or break????

:lol: so if like me you look after your shit there should be very little reason to change em ?


Must admit i change em every 6 months whatever :neutral:

you can actually buy a microscope and you'll be able to see when it's right to change your needles. also, when they start gather too much dust on them they're definitely on the way out.

i've been through 8 needles in 3 months recently. but then again, a club atmosphere can just wear the shit out of them if you're not careful. and i'm definitely not careful ;)

yeah i need to change mine i think, theyve been gathering dust alot lately :oops:

Ive just bought some new ones because i left some blood in my old one and it clotted and blocked it up.

excuse my thickness here but when lookin up close at a needle what am i lookin for,

Anyone got pics of a good needle and a fuked one

It's been way too many years that I've actually lost track of time the last time I changed my needles... that's a bad sign :doh:

if you don't change change ****ed needles expect ****ed records. :doh:

Got to be better to buy needles every once in a while than be dragging chipped metal accross your lovely vinyl every night.
