A couple three years ago, I received a Crosley Peanuts record player. Yeah, it's cheap, around 50 bucks. I recall you said cheap isn't good for vinyls. Luckily, I don't really use it much. I do want to get something better. I have fond memories of as a kid playing vinyls on my family turntable, stuff like Michael Jackson's Thriller, Stryper's To Hell With The Devil, and David Lee Roth's Eat 'Em and Smile, plus story book stuff. I seriously need a good holder for the records!

I don't know if you would ever consider doing this but I would absolutely love a video that helps people build a vinyl setup on a specific budget. Something that a new collector like me with a limited budget could put together and get pretty great outcomes with. For example your most recommended setup for $500.

It's worth noting that the Audio Technica LP60 line *does* use a counterweighting system: it has a spring hidden in the base that holds the tone arm at tension and prevents the stylus from digging too hard into the record grooves,

@CaesarNeptuneStudios 8 ай бұрын

2:20 It will NOT carve up the grooves, just wear them out slightly quicker. Every time you play a record you technically wear it out, tracking force just makes that process a bit faster but it takes around 50-100 plays before you might notice the increase in surface noise (and most of us dont play records that many times). Records were designed to handle up to around 6 grams of tracking force and most Crosleys and similar turntables with the red ceramic Chuo Denshi cartridge track a little bit under 6 grams which is acceptable for the cartridge. Most second hand records have been played on turntables that tracked much heavier than modern turntables and they sound fine, unless they have scratches of course (or other groove damage from a defective or damaged/worn out stylus)

@Goldmaaaaan 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for correctly explaining this because I kinda rolled my eyes at that part too. The stylus will last you about 20-30 hours of use before getting to a point where it’s worn enough to damage your records, and even then it’s a slow process that takes numerous listens to cause perceptible wear. They DO technically damage your records as claimed, no need to over-exaggerate. I’d also say the Cruisers in particular might damage the outer rim of the record as the top doesn’t hinge very far and is prone to rubbing against the vinyl surface. I’d be more concerned about that, especially if your record already has any amount of warp.

I currently own the RT81 from Fluance and have had it for about three years. It has been a good first turntable for me, but I am ready to upgrade my system to something long term. It all started a few weeks ago when I was researching an upgrade from the atn95e on my RT81. I found that my options were limited with the RT81 and instead of spending $100 for a better stylus, I am now spending over $700 for the RT85 and the iFi Zen Phono preamp. I purchased the preamp last week and have tested it on my RT81 and was pleased with the sound I got out of it. This week I will order the RT85 and pass on my RT81 to my son. I really enjoy your channel and the solid recommendations you make. Your channel, and a few others, have helped me make purchase decisions which I am happy with. The RT85 should give me years more of good music and future upgrades will mostly be to the stereo system. Thank you again.

Here is a rule of thumb. If your TT weighs less than 20 pounds and the tone arme is so light that you could use it as chopsticks,, you will want an upgrade as soon as money is in your bank account. I also had a Project evo carbone with a grado Gold 3 on loan to test. I would rather listen to CD's instead as I would at least get all the frequencies out of the medium.

Bought a used Pioneer PL-300... just like I did, back-when. Stable hanging rotor hall-type brushless DC motor direct-drive located RIGHT-BENEATH the aluminum platter, with quartz phase-locked loop accuracy that produces a level of both wow & flutter (0.025%) and rumble (75db) that no "modern" belt-drive can match, at a cost less than a good mag-cart would run you... even after having a technician go over it! ;)

@TBNTX 2 жыл бұрын

In my experience, I used a direct-drive A-T 120 USB turntable, and I could hear the motor "cogging". "Cogging" is when the motor pulses itself to maintain speed. I eventually resolved this by adding a heavy disc stabilizer (an AT816). By adding the mass, it helped to maintain the angular momentum. This, in turn, meant that the DD motor didn't have to pulse as much. Nevertheless, I moved up to a Fluance RT85 because it was belt-driven, and it included an Ortofon Blue cartridge.

I’m convinced that it’s the versatility of really good quality speakers that should be foremost in any setup. My setup includes a Sony PSLX310BT belt drive turntable, a decent quality Sony BluRay player (for cd’s, dvd’s and BluRay discs) and a Philips 4K UHD television all connected into excellent, very versatile Edifier S1000MkII active speakers. I can link my turntable to the speakers via BlueTooth if I wish but instead I’ve chosen to use the RCA. My BlueRay connects up to the speakers with a standard A/V coaxial cable and the TV is connected to the speakers via an optical/toslink cable. It all works great and sounds fantastic. I still have another spare RCA input on the speakers if I want and though I’m not a gamer, I can if I ever want to, connect a gaming console. Like I said, begin with good quality speakers and it will all work out perfectly for anybody.

I absolutely love my LP60X. It's easy to use and sounds pretty good. My motor runs slightly too fast at 33.6-33.7RPM, haven't bothered to correct it yet but should be easy enough. I wish they'd make a LP60X pro with a better build and with the same automatic operation.

They do - the LP2X. I got one literally this week.

The cool thing about the Fluance being all wood and gives better sound is literally the reason why Guitars are made of wood. Some have tried metal guitars or plastic guitars but they don’t sound the same at all. So as a guitarist I like the Fluance, it’s like a turntable take of a guitar

Wait huh? How does wood affect the sound of a vinyl disc?

@Pineconeboy55 7 ай бұрын

Confused how the material would effect the sound. Besides vibration and dampening….

You can also have an integrated amplifier instead of a receiver. if you do not want to listen to the radio or want a separate radio tuner

Shout out to the AT-LP3! Added an acrylic platter mat, and an elliptical stylus upgrade. It sings :)

Good video! I would add that Hanpin Turntables make the Lp60x, lp120xusb, and several of the mid range Crosleys such as the C100, C200 (dd). The Crosley C6 and C8 are excellent as well. And for folks who like the Pro-ject Debut Carbon, the Pro-ject made Crosley C10 might be a more affordable option (it’s identical.) lastly I would say that there are several good portables with magnetic cartridges out there and in my opinion portables have historically been and continue to be an important part of vinyl record enjoyment.

with Sony PS-HX500 You can rip your vinyl records to 24 bit or DSD. several other usb turntables only support 16 bit. otherwise, for example, there is a preamp to buy that also supports 24 bit

TEAC still makes tape recorders. so then maybe even their receiver and integrated amplifiers have input for tape recorders. so you can also easily record on tape just like on a stereo in the 90's

I'm searching for my first turntable in a long time so I probably saw all your videos (thank you for a great quality content) but I don't remember to see you talking about Raga Planar 1. I'm from London and I'm between an Audio-Technica 120 (I like the style, versatility and quality) but I found a mint Raga P1 for 140 pounds and I don't know if I should go to a P1 or keep my focus in Audio Technica. Thanks for your videos and greetings from London

I have my turntable connected to my computer without using a USB cable. My Amp ( JVC JS-S22) has "Tape Out" RCA connectors. I use a cable that has RCA plugs on one in and the little headphone type plug on the other. On my older Mac there is an input, and output, with the little headphone type plug. I also use Aucacity to clean up the songs before burning them on a CD, or adding them to my iTunes playlist.

Thanks this was so helpful i was given the crossly record player for Christmas this year and notice the needle keeps echoing the sound every time i play a record on it and would have to move the needle from doing that. Now i know not to own these type of record player.

I would recommend the Crosley C-100 it’s very similar to the Audio Technica LP-120

Even though I have a AT 120 USB, I'd still use one of my audio interfaces to record; either through the built in pre amp, or the pre amp in my amplifier (I'd have to test that, not used yet)
