I've had this model TT for close to 3 years now, absolutely love it. Best sounding TT and cartridge I've ever had over the years. Mine is all black, never seen the black and bronze before, that looks pretty damn cool....

This is perhaps The absolute best unpacking and mounting and adjusting video about Turntables. And you believe me in my qge Ive seen a lot of them and not so few are just aweful. Care and relavent tips and methods and clear Camera work will make it a breese to all of you first time Turntables fans and even some Turntables veteran. And important as he tells you - be carefull, foresighted, prepare and absolutely no hurry! Take Your TIME because this is an important investion that will give you many hours of love and joy of Your not cheap and sensitive finetuned gear that will have a longer live left than many of those Who are over 25 Years old. I bought my Thorens TD-160 FIFTY YEARS ago about 1974 and it still works perfect with my newly cleaned cartridge MA Micro - Acoustic 2002-e bought about 1976 after 35 to 45 years pause. So listen and follow his instructions to carefully guys! So a lot of thanks to this Guy! ❤️😀👍

Hey guys, I just wanted to share a small tip that I just recently discovered; The manual states 2 grams for the tone arm weight which was what I've been using for the last 3 months (2.03g). Everything was perfect until I started collecting records that were in more used conditions. The records with damage in the grooves (1 record even brand new and came scratched) will have a tendency to skip at a certain part of the record. Light scratches it only happened once or twice, but the heavily used records, some of them will skip every single time at the exact same part of the song. THE FIX ____________ Increasing the tonearm weight to 2.25 -2.40 completely eliminated the skipping on the records I was experiencing it with. I'm sure even 2.50 - 2.60 would still be good and not damage your records, but I spent some time experimenting the limits of how light I can go, and 2.20 - 2.25 was definitely the sweet spot , I'd say closer to 2.25. If you're experiencing any skipping, I would recommend increasing your tonearm weight by increments of 0.10 and keep going until you find the sweet spot. If you don't have a tonearm scale, no worries, the tonearm weight has small lines in-between the numbers that indicate .10 decimal. Just gently increase it 1 notch at a time and re play your record to see if you're getting any skipping. Use a heavily used record with clear scratches for the best results. Hope this helps and ask away if you guys need help with this or anything else :)

Sorry, increasing VTF is not the proper fix! People have tendency to set antiskating as high as VTF, so 2 for VTF and same 2 for antiskating, which is wrong! I use a test record to set antiskating and according to the track test antiskating ended up at 1 for VTF of 2 grams! Everything plays awesome! 😉

This Record player with few parts made out of gold is rare now.

As somebody in a record shop who sets up record players all the time I don't even bother with balancing anymore I use a scale and just set it to whatever the manual says that it needs to be set at so if it's 2 g then I put the needle on the stylus scale on the tonearm, and then set it to where it says 2 g saves a lot of time, and if I set the stylus arm to the zero for the shits and giggles, it will balance perfectly every single time

No not a dumb question at all, the speakers I'm currently using are a Sonos setup and they actually work very well. Nice thing with Sonos is that after you go through the setup on your phone, it's one of the easiest systems to operate. I can change the volume and pair up speakers on the spot from my phone. If you go Sonos, I'd recommend either 2 Play 5's paired together, or you can even do 1 Play 5 and 2 Play1's. But the 2 play 5's will probably be your best bet. The more traditional method is to connect 2 bookshelf speakers via the RCA jacks, I'm sure you can find decent ones for a good price. But me personally I went the Sonos route and it has been great. Very fuss-free, the only pain is when you change internet and have to set up everything again.

Did you check the level of the deck before you did the tonearm balance?

Yup I eyed it out and it looked fine, though this made me curious to check with an actual level to see where I'm at exactly. Thanks for this!

HELLO, what about Vertical Tracking Angle ???

Hi Josh from Berlin 🙂. Turntable looks great with bronze finish! Is this home made or can you tell me please, where I can get it. Kind regards Mike

Hey there! The bronze finish is a Best Buy exclusive that I was able to find on bestbuy.ca I'm not too sure if it's only on the Canadian site I would check, maybe even amazon or another 3rd party website may carry it. Best of luck I hope you find one! Cheers

I just got this tt. Had a electrical burnt smell first spin. Figured may be some oils inside burning off. Been using it and noticed a noise coming from spindle/bearing. A low humming/knocking sound. Bad bearing?

Damn I'm sorry you're experiencing that. I don't think that's normal if I can take a wild guess. If you purchased it from a retailer I'd exchange it asap, I never experienced any burnt smells or any sounds with the spinning. My guess would be that there's either something rubbing against another part causing friction which is causing the sounds and the smell, or that the motor on the inside isn't running properly and may be overheating; but if I can guess it would be the parts rubbing together. did you purchase it new?

if you ever loose the weight for the scale, a nickel weighs exactly 5 grams as well.

That's very interesting I never knew that, thanks for sharing!

Che bello bronze, peccato che in Italia non si trova

Nice but where is the crank?

I have the same model as on video . I did balanced the arm according to the manual , as well as level on the player , which was not mentioned on the video . Unfortunately after a few playing of records , suddenly the " stylus " get damage and loose it's needle . Ones the record went to the end the arm doesn't return automatically up but is still rotating . And I believe this could be a reason that the needle just gone . Is there any way to prevent the damage of the " stylus " or how to improve the player for not this happen ? It should last much longer when playing a few records ?

Hey there, so there are a few things I want to point out; First is that this turntable does not have automatic start/stop - meaning the arm will not lift by itself when it reaches the end of the record, and will continue to spin until you manually stop it. For the stylus being damaged, I think that it may have just been an unlucky bad pick from the bunch. Turntables are fragile and there's no saying if boxes fall or are being handled rough at the stores. The box will only protect it so much but it won't stop all the damage. My first step would be to exchange the turntable if that is possible, if not possible then my 2nd step would be to check the force of grams from the arm and if it reads correctly, I would just replace the cartridge (with the needle included) - If you don't have a scale I highly recommend it.

You can get the same turntable with a usb port at the back

I have Anker Soundcore Mini can i connect it to this with a wire or something? im new to this stuff, i got this one ur showing from bestbuy but im not sure which speakers to get, it doesnt have bluetooth so i dont want big speakers sitting next to it, do u have any recommendations on amazon for a small speaker that will work with this, and if i need a wire to plug that speaker into the back of the vinyl?

This TT doesn't have Bluetooth unfortunately. Check out the Anker Soundsync A3352 Bluetooth Receiver, from my knowledge it will pair nicely with that soundcore. Sonos is nice because it only needs 1 direct AUX connection, and you can add on as many more speakers as you like that will work as a bluetooth junction with one another. Cheers!

@@SVR2010REELS They look wired which will absolutely work. The most practical way to go is with a left and right speaker which is what you're looking at, the sound is full as opposed to mono. The next things to look at are the quality of the wood cabinets, and the speakers, but that is all based on your budget. Those speakers have great reviews online it looks like

I believe it's just the Bluetooth functionality

Had same model it's brilliant deck to record records to listen but that's only purpose really of it even for experienced dj like me I find it hard to mix on them lack of torque and lack of keeping rpm sharp ...u will notice what I'm on about if u rip 100 records and end up mixing on cd ... But still brilliant deck for money Peace
