One thing I realized recently (that would be 're-realized' if such a word existed) was that you can stop 99% of your records jumping by correctly setting the tone arm!
I mean the screw-mounted weight at the end of the tone arm. Often, the actual cart will indicate the correct setting to which the weight should be calibrated - meaning the numeric dial also on this weight. If not, a rough guide is simply to set the gauge to zero, i.e flush with the end of the arm, at which point the arm should balance horizontally if you've got the up/down lever in the 'up' position. Try it. In this way, all my NSC-pressed techno tracks which have jumped for years, and others, no longer do so.
