Hello everyone!

I found a Shure M44-7 cartridge installed on my AMI Continental 2.

I'd like to fit it with a N44-C stylus, as some of the 45 records I use are obviously not in very good conditions; I'd like to find out if I can reduce the skips and jumps I have when playing them.

The N44-C requires lighter tracking force and is more likely to skip, especially near the end of the record with trip switch side loading.

Use the N44-7 and set the tracking force near the high end. Make sure that nothing is binding in terms of bearings, etc. and that the tonearm wire is flexible.
