Assuming your tonearm and turntable have adjustable weight and tracking options fitted please fit adjust them to the cartridge suppliers recommended settings. If you do not have enough weight on your tonearm relative to your cartridge specifications you will have significantly increased distortion on the high frequencies and more possibility of the record skipping. Excess weight will dumb down the general sound quality, stereo image and dynamics. Excessive or non existent tracking can also contribute towards a skipping record.
