To anyone out there watching this video in order to setup their turntables : don’t forget to re-balance the tone arm AFTER adjusting your cartridge. Moving the cartridge up or down the head shell will affect the balance, so it’s crucial to redo the balancing.

I sadly watched this video AFTER buying the popular all in one. Fortunately I own a set of Logitech 2.1 speakers to boost the sound. But I've always avoided vinyl. After playing them on even this "cheap" set up. I'm just going to convert it all to Digital and go back to my digital music. Even with my all in one set up. I still use gloves (cuz its 2022 so gloves are common due to a virus running rampant) And have to brush off some dust due to the records being idle for at least 2 or 3 decades. (Idk if my dad ever played them since I was born or since marrying my mom. It totally gives off bachelor Dad vibes.) They even smell like my grandmother's house. (Its a rare smell I only find in my dad's untouched stuff.) Long story short, I did a swap out of attic junk. The records came down while the Christmas tree is going up. Again Im super delicate cuz I NEVER touched a vinyl record muchless played them. And sadly my dad has passed so its a double whammy of my dad's music and my grandmother's smell. My mom cant even guess the things I'm feeling cuz there's just certain things that just resonated with being a young man free of being a family man. Idk, maybe I'm seeing too deeply into things. But she was married young, but he settled in his 30s. Things like doing all this musical gear set up. Having DIY projects to work on.

Indeed, and this was the most common setup from the dawn of solid state amps right up until the early 2000s. Pretty much every solid state hi-fi amp had a phono stage built in. Many good vintage amps have a phono pre-amp as good as, if not better, than many of the pre-amps on sale today, and always better than one built into the turntable itself. As for my setups. Main setup Rega RP1 with AT-440MLb cart Pioneer AV Amp (with built in phono stage) Mission 701 speakers Office setup Trio (Kenwood) KD-1033B with AT-VM95ML cart Marantz PM66 SEII amp (with built in phono stage) Onkyo speakers

You young man are without doubt the best tutor to give advice on the turntables setup. Crystal clear voice, clear instructions, accurate displays to help and absutely the greatest guy ever. 100% perfection. Give yourself a double pat on your back.

Good timing. I used your short videos to do my first install last week. I'm not a technical person and I don't have steady hands, so it took a LONG time of being very very very careful, but I finally did it and it sounded AMAZING. Then yesterday a very very very bad accident occurred, and my brand new painstakingly installed Goldring E3 got knocked and the cantilever bent. So now I get to start all over, a little more broke, and I occasionally stop crying. Good videos, thanks.

This is the best tutorial I have seen on KZread on how to setup up a "turntable".

Hey Jared! Don't forget that it's pretty common for many companies to have integrated amplifiers that have a preamp and amp combined too. Even more high-end companies like Peachtree Audio and McIntosh have these options! So there's pretty much an option for any two of the Full audio set-up components to be combined.

This video helped me understand how to set up my turntable better than any other video out there! My turntable sounds great thanks to you! (I had no clue what the ground wire did until I saw this, my speakers wouldn’t stop buzzing) Thank you!

Your videos helped me with my initial setup. I'm still running ortofon red and loving it. Thanks again.

Good video. I bought my first turntable in decades and found this really helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for the education in proper vinyl usage Sir!

My ever growing collection/obsession for playing vinyl - Marantz 2215, 2220, 2235, 2245, 2270. Tanberg, TR 2027, Pioneer SX 1250… all purchased at garage sales, estate sales or thrift stores sometimes at prices that are almost criminally cheap. Speaker set up: Polk audio monitor 7, Yamaha-1000M, Polk audio monitor 10, KEF reference model 105.2, Some old pair of McIntosh solid wood speakers, a series of garbage HomePods/Alexa lol. Streamer/DAC: Bluesound NODE space X… record players: pioneer PL - 50, U-turn Orbit. Very much open to recommendations based on what I’ve got and what I might be missing!

One other platter mat out there is the acrylic platter mat. I’ve recently gotten one (mine is blue, but you can get it in different colors) and I’m impressed. Before I got my acrylic mat, I was using both a rubber mat and cork mat together, since rubber is good for bass and cork is good for treble. The acrylic mat handles both quite well on its own (I can only tell a slight difference). Depending on what color you want and where you buy them, they go for around $21, give or take some cents. If you haven’t tried one, Jarrett, I encourage you to check it out! I promise your ears will thank you!!! 😀😀😀

What

Like your videos. And the AT LP 120 is a great starter turntable. I had it as my first, then upgraded to a Project Debut. Since five years I have a Clearaudio Concept, which is on a completely different level. I bought this together with a Primaluna Prologue Amp, an EAR 834P PreAmp and some Sonus Faber Toy Tower Speakers. Could have bought a small car for the money at that time, but you have to know your priorities :D While I absolutely love my setup and am sure it will last me a lifetime, I agree with the statement that the best turntable setup is the one you con afford. Can only get an AT LP 60 with some modest active speakers? Go for it! You can always get something better later, and sell your old one or give it to someone else who wants to get into the hobby. And what is great about your videos is that you show young people that want to get into the hobby that they do not need to sell a kidney to get something that will sound nice, and that all this setup is not as complex as it seems. Keep up the great work, dude!

Top video, but I miss the most used setup in the 60s to 90s: 1. Turntable 2. Amplifier with a built in Preamp (Phono Input) 3. Passive Speakers! ;) I use this setup with a modern DENON AVR. My DENON X2500H has a phono line-in and it works perfect!

You forgot to mention vintage receivers versus modern receivers. Where most of the Vintage receivers have a built-in preamp for the turntable and have a ground wire. Good video.

Excellent, thanks!

Thanks you are a good teacher

Thanks!

Your video explanations are the Best. You get right to the problem and explain the solution carefully. You don't pontificate about what you're doing. You make no long drawn out introduction. You have captions show up on the screen. Your videos are 100% better than most of them. Thanks a million!

Some records are actually cut at varying angles to others. Height adjust can be used as well to compensate for this. “ Level “ is not the best spot for height adjustment. As all pressing cutting lathes use a slight angle on the groove, for technical reasons for groove tracking , frequency distribution etc. you can slightly tiny amounts less or more on the tracking force. Tracking force can vary a tiny bit from Specs depending on the table and arm you have. Great vid on setup though excellent info.

Song Of The Day: The Pioneers by Bloc Party Very punk feel, amazing vocals and lovely band.

Love your videos, informative and fun. You have a new subscriber from down under :-)

Anatomy of a marvel 😊

Have done it hundred times but God bless you for a such detailed explanation. Maybe you should mention protractor as well. And anti-skate is not that simple as well (you'd better to have calibration disc). But overall great video

Hi Jared, great video. This has been a big help. I'm hoping you can add a comment based on an issue I have run into. I just purchased a technics sl-1350. I've balanced out the tonearm, but don't have the ability to height adjust the tonearm so that is parallel with the LP's I'll be playing. I don't believe it's adjustable on this table. What should those of us without an arm adjustment do? Should we just stack an extra mat or two onto the platter?

Great tips brother and nice haircut.

Great Congratulacion from CHILE cuidate del covid19 Happy

Great great video. Question. I've struggled with cartridge alignment and minimizing tracing distortion on the inner grooves. I've read that due to the physics of vinyl playback that this distortion can only be minimized, never totally eliminated. When aligning the cartridge, how do you minimize parallax problems when aligning? Do you work with the table on the floor so you can look directly down on it? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Ooof I got a lot to learn!

Great video on how to setup your turntable. I'm planning on buying a Technics SL 1200G and Technics SU-700 amplifier. Does that come with a preamplifier build in or do I need to get an extra preamplifier? Thanks for your advice.

thank you

thanks

I am so truly grateful for this one combo video. Glad I read the comment to find more crucial needed info. Thank you for sharing. Do you have a video or link that covers the 3 component setup that does not include the preamp. This is the setup I had before moving and trying to remember as I set everything up. For added info, I am using a Technic Quartz Synthesizer receiver that, yes, I do have a cassette deck connected to with the speakers running through the receiver. I am stuck how how to connect the Numark Pro TT-1 turntables (that previously were also connected to the receiver but I would now like to connect to a Pioneer DJM 909 (or NI Traktor Kontroller) I will be getting later in the month but for now could you help with getting the turntables connect to the Pioneer mixer (pretty sure once I know switching to the Traktor will be a breeze once I know the basics). Thanks and look forward to your quick response. Thanks again ❤

A very cool song: Songs from the Wood by Jethro Tull. It’s like the folk / rock Bohemian Rhapsody 🤩

Gr8 video !! Any thing about grounding the turntable with preamp ? Or Amp? Not mentioned here

specially in AT-LP120 check the switch about 120 V and 220 V

You should adjusr the height first before the tracking force. It does change when the height is wrong

useful information ✅

Tone arm balancing sould be done after cartridge allingment, moving the cartridge will change balance.

Funny story: I picked up a third turntable about three years ago used - the AT LP120 usb. For what I got it for, I love it. Then my buddy in Seattle bought a brand new one. It sounds great too. But after a while he got the bug to get another TT and he wanted a belt drive. So, we talked about the stuff that's been made available over the last decade or so. I told him he really wants to keep the replaceable headshell feature and why. So, what did he get? The same Fluance you chose. and he loves the frosted platter. He loves it. He can even swap cartridges between turntables easily because they take the same headshell mount. Interestingly, we're both 66 (we've been friends since high school) and our ears are not top notch. Being in a dozen bands as a bass player didn't help mine. I bring this up because we pretty much consider his Ortofon Blue and the AT 95 green to be "close enough for government work", That is, they both sound fine because we don't do any critical listening of the cartridges. We just do critical listening of the MUSIC. And they all sound great. And because the AT turntable has a built in pre-amp, he runs the fluance into the phono pre-amp of his Marantz 2230 and runs the AT into the aux input. So he gets to play "DJ" as we listen to his favorites (mostly blues live albums) and sip our Glenfiddich 12. Listening to vinyl is an experience that surpasses the mere music on which it's based.

I’ve decided to become a turntablist like mix master Mike. Dust covers on or off?

Hey, I have a question for you. I own an AT-LP120X and I just read in the Audio Technica site that the stock AT-VMN95e elliptical stylus wears out and should be replaced after 300 hours of playback. What's your take on that? To me, it seems that 300 hours is too soon for the stylus to get ruined... I've probably used it for about 400 and it still sounds good to me, but I'm worried I might be hurting my records.

Great video :)

Nice one 👍

Of course, many turntables have zero means to adjust arm height; if too low, spacers can be added to the screws between the headshell and cartridge. If too high, the cartridge may just not be usable in your arm. Cartridge alignment is an area of great debates (signifying little?). Protractors attempt to make adjustments easier, but know they are all compromises, with the "ideal" matching only in the two spots in the arm arc. Technics (and AT) supplies a clever plastic gizmo that slips over the connector end of their headshell, which lets you adjust the cartridge position, needle centering, and reach in one step; this is slightly different from typical protractors, but has been perfectly acceptable for most who play 12" LPs. Too light a tracking force can actually damage vinyl more than too much. 2 gm is very common, but don't think 1 3/4 will be better if that's the low range of the recommended. Important: Connect the ground wire to the screw on the receiver/amp, otherwise hum may be bad.

Yes new video

Very detailed, nice! But one question. After getting aligning the cartridge with the screws, wouldn't it be better to do the tracking force test again? Cause maybe you changed it by pulling the cartridge a bit further out or pushing it more into so it changes the weight. Or am I wrong?

Hey Jared, what about acrylic platter mats? I love them and they are static free and easy to clean. I would much rather have the acrylic mat than the felt mats that gather lots of dust and various debris. I love your channel and all of your content. For SONG OF THE DAY: Sam Smith-"How Do You Sleep".

I have a crosley t150 and it came with a pair of speakers. Do I need an amplifier for it? It plays just fine and is a way better improvement over their all in one record players.

Thanks God I bought a REKKORD Audio F110P. The Setup was handmade in the factory.

Great video. 👍 But the main point I got from it is that record setups are very delicate and you wouldn't want to live in a high-earthquake-activity area or in a building where passing trucks can shake the floors, or anywhere else like that, or your records will get gouged. 😕

There are ways to deal with ambient noise and vibrations. In nightclubs, the decks are usually sitting on rubber balls or on foam, which is meant to dampen vibrations coming up through the feet of the turntable.
