The tracking force is at 2. I also aligned it properly. Thanks for the help!

I've done a lot of research on the turntable, and I don't think i can adjust it. How would you recommend cleaning a vinyl? LOL

Hey guys! I'm just getting into vinyl, and have a few questions. 1. Right now, i only have 1 LP (Rush - Moving Pictures). The record seems a bit dusty, but not very bad overall. Will it damage my new stylus when I play it? (AT95e, using the included stylus) 2. If the answer to #1 is yes, and I wanted to but some new records to play, would the needle actually damage the new LP? 3. When playing, i hear a lot of pops and snaps. Is this just the nature of vinyl, or is it caused by a dirty or old record? 4. Compared to digital, my turntable sounds like it's spinning just a tad slow. Is there a way I can adjust it? It's an Akai AP-D2. BTW before I started using it, it had been sitting in my grandmother's closet for about 10 years. For reference, here is my equiptment: -Akai AP-D2 Turntable -Audio Technica AT95e with included stylus -Sony STR-AV770x Stereo -Bose Acoustimass 3 Series III speakers Thanks for all the help! -TheMastr13
