Now, the way I think it... a new record shouldn't really skip, right? I bought a copy of in a priest driven ambulance (on pink vinyl, pretty)... and it has some skips around it. This isn't the only new record i've gotten to skip on me (a few 7"s and then some records which look in good shape do it too). I'm wondering if getting a new needle would help it play better. Like it's some old player from 80s, nothing special about it/. It was just sitting in my basement for ever and then I took it.
But yea, would a new needle be a good idea? Or should I go for a new player? Could I score a decent one for around $50?
