I once listened to Autechre's Basscadet (seefeelmx) for what must've been 15 minutes before realizing that I'd left something behind the tonearm which kept it from rotating beyond the middle of the track. (I think I have to state here that I was sober at the time, too, just a bit distracted. :) ) It sounded excellent, though, and I think that'd be an easier method of repeating a single point: blocking the tonearm from behind with something solid. You'll of course want to have the weight set really low to prevent excessive damage (I know I typically have mine set to ludicrously-high "dj" cueing levels). It seems that you could set it up a lot more precisely through experimenting through this method... -Phrenetic "Life is composed of exquisite moments and the rest is shadows of them." -T.E.
