Matt123 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 So I had one too many brews last night and woke up to find my Pro-Ject Debut 3 with Ortfon 2M Red running in the run out groove of the Lost Highway 10th anniversary compilation LP. So my question is, how bad is it for the needle to run in the runout groove for over 12 hours straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPoppen Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 From what I understand is that you're just wearing your needle for an extra 12 hours. The advantage of the run out groove is that there are no "notches" in that groove, so the wear should be less than a groove that has music pressed in it. Unless that groove is heavily damaged and snaps, crackles and pops like crazy, I wouldn't worry about it. NewVinylGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
