I bought a 6N two weeks ago and while getting an amp and d/a interface I practiced on silent grooves. Using a PIAPTK sapphire, a little back lean, heat and IPA/soap mix, got it pretty quiet. It has a recent rebuild on a 1-d head and got it connected to an ART SLA1 amp. The solo cup test passed so I held my breath and I made a groove. It’s ALIVE (seems like magic you can cut a record at home). Playback was not bad given I used NO input eq. Next step is to put my oscilloscope on my playback amp and calibrate for a 5cm/s test groove on my SR12 record (actually it’s a 4.67 cm/s groove, strange) and then eq. Cookin’ with gas now!
Sorry, just thrilled and I had to share.

Congratulations! You don't need to apologise for being enthusiastic! The first groove is like the first kiss - full of tension, excitement, trembling and the subsequent relief of having done it. Keep going.
