As a newbie to the hobby, I got myself an LP60X since I didn't want to invest too much at first in case I lost interest quickly like I often do. So far I am absolutely loving it and I definitely see myself continuing doing so in the future, it was a great choice for a beginner!

Fluance turntables are fantastic

My Dream to have a fabulous turntable, i purchase vinyl in the meantime.😊

Same. My Crosley cruiser was severely damaged (no loss I guess 😂) and I've been scoping out something better while still collecting vinyl in the meantime

Bought my RT85 two years ago on your recommendation,its never let me down once.Great sound and build quality 👍

Technics only 😊

I’m still running my Project Debut Carbon original model. Have had it since 2018 and man it’s such a good turntable for the price I got it for:)

Honorable mention for the Audio Technica AT-LP120XUSB! I'm still eyeing up the black and copper one online 😍 I still haven't bought a turntable yet (renos at home and offsite assignments over the years) but regularly enjoy this channel oh so much! It's a great happy place, and a place of comfort 😊

I have the Fluance rt81 it’s amazing

Thanks for the recommendations! I received a 1 by one turntable for Christmas....annnnnd, it wasn't very good. Started running noticably slow after the first day/album. Apparently, others have had the same problem. So, I think I'm going with your #1 option (with your referral link)!

I have a Project Debut carbon evo being delivered later today, upgrading from the LP120XBT

What phono preamp amd powered speakers do you recommend to pair with the Fluance RT85? Also, donyou know if the white RT85 is glossu or matte? Thanks!!

I have a 1940s record player sadly it's broken but I love the style

Talk about Denon DP 29.

I absolutely love my RT85T, equipped with the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. The only thing that I'd add is to replace the stylus when it exceeds 800 hours of play time.

Im satisfied hearing your sound of talk, it's so satisfied and i don't know why

I reccomend the steepletone chicago for beginner record enthusiasts. I have one myself, and its honestly great. It is a combo machine, with tape+disk, but for a combo machine, its excellent for records. It comes with 2 speakers which are quite good, but not amazing. Paired with some expensive speakers though and it will sound amazing.

You forgot something. 16, 2/3 rpm was a valid record speed at the time.

You should do a list of the best vintage turntables ;)

The Ferguson Stereo Minor from 1969/1970 is a great one. I've had mine for almost 4 years and it sounds great, even though I'm missing the left detachable speaker. I must find one eventually.

I'm new to the hobby, and picked up a really cheap turntable. Good enough for entry level, but I definitely know I'll have to upgrade at some point. I've actually been eyeballing that Audio Technica one.

I wish the color option was not so important to me, my OCD has been stressing for months over if I should choose the better turntable or the one that comes in a color I don’t hate, and all along I could have been enjoying some records.

I love my Yamaha P300 with direct drive and also adjustable speed and half automatic. Almost everything i need (but sadly no repeat since it is half automatic)

The RT-82 has been on my wish list for a while, I feel like I can easily updlgrade it into an RT-85 with time by upgrading the player and stylus 🤔

I am lucky too have both my grandparents old record players, i have use the Connisseur BD 2 but when i have gathered the knowledge how to care for it i will move to an older record player that is wooden.

Me who has a Luxor MC-5000 C-Cassette and turntable combo player from 1980.

I upgraded from #5 to #1 😬

Hey Vinyl Eyezz! Any reason you stopped recommending the AT-LP120X? I am sort of eyeing them and was wondering if this was a red flag 😅. Thanks.

Hi! I am a beginner who is really wanting to get into records and TTs. The lp60x and the fluance 81+ are both within my budget. Would you recommend the fluance 81+ due to ability for stylus changes, build quality, and sound?

I want Fluance RT81😊

Hello, I want to buy the audio technica lp60xbt and the turntable will also work with a 7 inch record besides the usual 12 inch and the speakers I want to connect to them are two sonos one g2 and the speakers are Wi-Fi wireless speakers and I don't know if they will connect together I would appreciate it if you could help me and I am fan of your channel and sorry for the long message

can you rate the emerson AS 2650?

Is the LP60XHP any good?

This list appears to be in order from least to most costly.

What about the crosley c62? Idk if that's a good one or not

@Kruton1122

4 ай бұрын

It’s average, nothing worth spending close to 200$ on. Go get yourself a decent one from the 70’s They’re a much better product from when vinyl records had been king.

I used to rock a zenith quartz until it got broken by my toddler

I’m hesitating between the EVO or the RT 85 :/

I'll stick with my Technics 1200.

I recomend sansui sr-717 or Tesla nc 440. (For vintage lovers)( Tesla Is bankrupt Czechoslovakia Brand)

Audio Technica LP60 is a Crosley without the amp and speakers. That spring downforce will give you anywhere from 4-6 grams which puts it in “Groove Grinder” territory. The LP120 is when I start recommending AT products.

@Kruton1122

LP’s are designed to play working 5-7 grams by Columbia’s own standard. “Groove grinding” only happens when you get into the 10-12 gram range. Even then, unless you’re using a styrene record, it’s not going to cause THAT much of an issue. I’d recommend watching vwestlifes many videos on these common misconceptions. He does excellent work to prove these are overblown myths.

Denon.

Those fluance arms have an effective mass of 23 grams making them impossible to match with a cartridge. Also the number 4 sounds better than all 3 of them. Only 5 and 4 are smart options. 5 is a good budget option, 4 is an absolute steal. Fluances have the aforementioned effective mass issue, Pro-ject sounds dead as a dodo. Audiotechnica't AT-LP120x is a good sounding machine too, for what it is. And the AT-LP5x has absolutely zero business sounding as good as it does. Generally though, if you want something good and affordable; Pioneer PL-112D, Audiotechnica AT-VM95ML. Thank me later.

Wait so you're saying i have to get more than just my LP60X? Or can i stick for as long as it lasts as long as i enjoy it?

Around 100-150. It’s definitely the best one you could get to start out imo. It’ll be sufficient for years.

So no technics 1200 🤦🏻‍♂️

OR just go to goodwill and get any turntable from the 70’s. Will outperform these goofy modern ones and even have more features like a direct drive platter and automatic play and return. Don’t buy any of these modern nightmares.

My thoughts exactly.

I used to have one that played records in a vertical position, kind of like a clock face. Damn it was awesome with my glow in the dark foo fighters record in it…. Until my dumb ass boyfriend kicked a hole in it

All plastic junk. Get yourself a REAL turntable, from like the 70s.

Quick reminder: if you wish to play an 78 rpm record do not and I repeat DO NOT use the standard needle as it will destroy the 78 make sure to buy a needle cartridge that is safe for them

@Kruton1122

4 ай бұрын

You are wrong but right at the same time. No, it will not destroy a 78. 78’s are designed to go through literal ounces of weight with steel needles pushing into them. You can use a regular stylus just fine using a regular turntable, you’ll just get a lot of surface noise. To reduce surface noise you will need a 3 mill stylus. Please don’t talk about things you aren’t fully aware of, you can confuse and scare people.

@darkwatersband

@@Kruton1122 yes they can take the weight but the stylus for a 78 is much thicker than a modern style so it rides the groove in a different way which causes the damage
