Is it okay to start in the middle of a track? Or will that leave a "pop"/"click" there?

Thanks

Good question. Never thought about it since I never feel the need to start a song at the middle !!! But, sometimes I can't get the needle to the start of a song somewherte inside the LP and I hit some part of the previous song...Never have a problem though.

Just be carefull when lowering the cartridge.

Jose.

It probably depends on your cartridge set-up.

Seriously, if you must I would at least start at the beginning of the desired track rather than in the middle of it.

I don't believe I have experienced that problem but I can't say I considered it a possibility. Hopefully, someone will have the answer. I am pretty sure that I have some new vinyl that I have stopped in the middle of the track, lifted the arm, then put it down to start again without a problem

I wanted to know because I was testing for distortion that occurs in a particular spot in a 10 minute long track. I've been letting it play completely through, though I'd love to just start at the problem spot if it was safe.

Its fine as long as your careful.

If you have a well adjusted cueing device, it is no problem. If you are lowering the tonearm by hand, you'll need to be very careful whether you are at the start of a section or not!
