When the needle skips easily is too late. It's all dependent on how heavy you have the needle resting on the vinyl.

Ideally you should change the stylus (needle) every 6 months I would say. But they last a lot longer than that usually.
They tend to sound distorted / skip easily...when worn out

about the weight. that thing you can turn (sheesh...) has marks from 0 to 3. but everything is kinda loose (and always was like that) so the indication might be totally wrong now.
screw until it is just out of balance going to the record side ?
i've always done a bit more, but i'm worried i might wear out my records faster.
man, i sound stupid in my bad english.

That makes sense and you're correct. Some people prefer it a bit heavier though.
