How can you be sure that you have your turntable settings correct.
I just had this horrible vision that I've been ignorantly playing records
and ruining all my vinyl. I'm not a big technical wizard, so I'm definitely
curious about all of this.

Another thing to watch is that you have set the right tracking weight.
Most DJ cartridges work at 5-7 grams while HiFi cartridges work at 1-2
grams. You'll actually do more damage to your records if you set the
tracking too light than you will if you have it too heavy.
