Speaker going lower in volume them coming back. Recently had that happen on one of my systems. Realized it was because there was some dirt build up on the input knob of the selector switch (you know, where you choose phono, Aux, tape1, tape 2, etc). I sprayed some deoxit behind the knob, turned it back and forth 8 or 9 times...boom...problem solved.

Just an icelander saying hello. Love your videos! I work at a history museum so I can confirm that the Mo Fi sleeves are pretty much the best there are. They are made of Polyethylene which is an acid free material. It doesn`t only keep dust away, it also significantly slows down the natural deterioration of the record and makes it last much longer.

Great video! Definitely an inspiration for myself as I started a vinyl channel a year or two ago. Great insight for sure!

Thanks for answering my question! You’re my go to source for all vinyl questions!

Thank you, love your program, have been watching for years!

Good Video I also have a audio technica turntable AT-LP120XUSB I had my for over 2 years and I love it never any problems with it thank to your video years ago when I was shopping for a new turntable and turntable is worth my money you do a great job on your videos and keep up the good work.

Great video J, and thanks for answering my question!

Love this!! I've been wanting to get a record player for years as I've been given lots of vinyl from the industry I work in and some fantastic finds at markets. Just ordered my first setup which will be a Sony PS-LX310BT, Edifier 1700BT speakers, Microsoft Surface Pro, and a Fiio type c DAC. I think this is a good entry-level setup, but I'm sad I won't be able to upgrade my stylus properly. One day I'd like to get a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, KEF LS50, probably keep a tablet in the mix or a Cambridge Streamer.

I had a similar skipping issue with the Outlaws album “Playin’ To Win”. Every copy I ever had on vinyl skipped all the way through “Take It Anyway You Want It”, the opening track. Turns out, it was a pressing defect in which the metal part for Side 1 was damaged for that song.

I have CDs that skip due to them being quite badly scratched and have not been able to play them for over a decade. I have recently purchased a CDT as apposed to CD player and now I am able to enjoy these much missed CDs once again. BTW, love your channel and love vinyl.

There are machines that do what's called resurfacing on cds and other optical media. If there's a second hand media store near you, they've probably got one if they sell cds or dvds.

I'm also a collector of one, and the cassette tapes too! Love your vids man💗

Once I had gotten back into vinyl, stand up and comedy was something I got into in a big way. Eddie murphy’s raw/delirious was why. He mentions Richard prior albums getting him in to comedy, and then I spotted The Goodies and Nothe the Nine o’clock News albums in local thrift stores. The latter there being Monty python precursor and later British comedy inspired by. It’s a different experience of comedy but a wonderful slice of a different period of comedy.

Hey Jarrett I live in Texas as well in a small town just outside of Fort Worth. I use a 1956 rek-o-kut rondine transcription turntable fitted with a 16 inch broadcast tonearm . I have both a stanton 500 cartridge with a .7 mil stylus for stereo recordings, a 1 mil. For mono recordings and a 3 mil for 78 discs . I also have a re-equalizer for pre riaa recordings and a de -hisser .I use Mackie hr-24 studio monitor speakers I think my phono pre amp is a studio art dj pre so yeah that is my setup for vinyl.

Been interested in vinyl since i was sixteen and a year later, i have started seriously looking into collecting records. My setup so far is a LP60, with Kanto YU speakers. got a bit of coldplay and ed sheeran so far and have kept my grandads' ultravox the collection record! Will be watching more and always open for additions for my setup

Hi, great video as usual. I've not finished watching it yet, but, I wanted to comment on your saying be patient and wait for the repressing of an album if the original pressing is too expensive. I have a coveted John Mayall with Eric Clapton album, both in its 1966 first pressing and in a modern pressing. The modern pressing is only worth £27 but the original is worth over £200. The sound of the 1966 version (even with the crackles) is so much better than the repress. It's how Mayall heard it at the time. I Also have Beatles albums that I bought in the '60's (I'm that old) and I prefer the original mix that they have to any modern repressing. It doesn't matter if the original recording was made in the last 20-30 years when everything has become digital and compressed....but if you are collecting 1960's-80's artists and records that were recorded before digital recording then go for the original recording rather than the repress. That's why I buy stuff at record fairs. To get the original. x

So jealous of that Parlour Trick LP! I bought that on bandcamp awhile ago-so good!

i cant wait to join !!!!

I second the Klipsch RP600M speakers. Those currently are my front stereo speakers in my 5.1 surround setup

Love this! 😍

I stopped playing CDs in the car. They get dinged up very easily. These days I rip my LPs and CDs to a AAC format to my phone. Then play the songs via Bluetooth in the car. I do see a CD format come back in the near future. I think Records by Billy Joel and Phil Collins make for excellent frisbees.

When I plan on visiting the local record store it is far enough away that I plan other errands while I am out. When the weather is warm I always plan my errands so that the record store is the last stop so I can go straight home to keep those records from sitting in the car more than necessary.

Goldfrapp has some beautiful colored vinyl. I started with the audio technica lp60x. I upgraded to the fluance rt85. The lp60x is great for a started table. That ortofon black is pricey. Congrats.

Hey man love the videos youre my go to for so much so thank you! I've purchased the lp120xusb recently It's my first manual turntable so your set up vids have been great. One thing I'd like to ask is about antiskate I'm so confused to the right setting I have an acrylic plate I've been using to try and set it I've found if I set tracking to 2g about 1 on antiskate leaves it in the middle ground but as you also have this turntable I was hoping you might have some tips? Cheers as always dude

Thanks!

So glad I found your channel! I’m guilty, I unfortunately bought my first suitcase Victrola record player… moments after researching I knew I was going to ruin my brand new Pornography LP by The Cure on vinyl. I immediately took that Victrola suitcase vinyl player back for a refund! I got my money back and purchased the Fluance RT85n with a Pre-amp that Fluance sells as well. I was freaking out over my set up so far since I didn’t want to drop some more money on a receiver then I found out I actually had Active two way speakers that have been in the box collecting dust in the corner of my room. These Active speakers are the Pioneer DJ DM-40 Watt. I’m so excited for my RT85n and to set it up! I even got a cleaning kit for my future records and some storage bins I bought as well! The only thing it looks like I need are those Mofi Inner sleeves to protect my records completely when stored away until my next time using them

Cheap players won't immediately destroy a record, they'll just wear down a bit faster. It's not a cardinal sin, just something that's good to keep in mind. At least, in my opinion.

Really enjoy your channel and videos, and I feel like we have a VERY similar taste in music. I wish I still had my Sony PSHX500

Prince - 1999 double album was BETTER than Thriller album. I still don't understand to this very day why 1999 didn't completely outsell Thriller back in the day.....

Spin clean are a great piece of equipment. Well worth it.

24:19 It's nice to see some talk about comedy albums ❤ I have a few, favorites being the Smothers Brothers and Bob Newhart ☺

The Metallica turntable is cool, but there is a Beatles yellow submarine turntable by Pro-Ject that’s still available for $500.00. Custom made ortofon cartridge and stylus. For extremely dirty used vinyl I have used the glue method with amazing results. It was a very rare record and glad I tried it. There are many videos on KZread

Does the turntable affect how often you should change the needle? How often should you change the needle?

I would say that if you want something like the lp-60 but also want a weighted tonearm the lp3 is a good option

Thanks Vinyl Eyezz!

At 23:10 You say Cassettes are not selling as much. Well Jarrett, Here In the UK we sell about 100 to 200 a day. Mostly Comps, against artists. We picked up about 20,000 of them back In the early 90's when they did start to loose favor. We are soooooooooo glad we hung on to them. As for coloured vinyl against Black, Well over time the Coloured vinyl starts to go Hard, and cracks easily, I am talking mostly about Singles though. Great Video keep em' comin'

Had the ortofon 2m red, which was pretty cool...

Regarding cleaning records, it's my opinion that using the 'clunky' velvet block first for the dry dust, and then the scrubbing brush for the wet clean. IMO.

Great advice. I only buy stuff that I liked every single song and will play multiple times. One question, What plastic covers do you use for larger double/triple albums? For instance I have a few Iron Maiden albums that come with 3 records. They barely fit in a plastic sleeve if I stretch it a little.

Just picked up a Trio kd-3100 Direct Drive for £10 UK pounds. its to replace my Technics SL B2... my main Turntable is the Dual 505 (wooden plinth).. i am a Vintage hi fi lover.. 👍🏼

Great video! The only thing you're off about in my opinion and experience is the sound quality of cassettes. Recording onto a Nakamichi Dragon lets say, which has a frequency response of 20-22k (better than virtually any CD player) or similar high-end deck from a very good analog source would most likely run circles around most if not all moderately priced turntable set-ups including your Fluance/Ortofon combo and my own set-up as well (No offense) The recording on a properly calibrated Nak are very difficult to distinguish from whatever source one records from. This means if you record from something like a technics SL-1000R and appropriate cartridge im confident that the Tape recording made on a Dragon will outperform any record played directly on any lesser turntable. i would actually recommend people buy a quality cassette deck, so they record their rare or frequently used vinyl on it. This will help prevent wear or damage to their records.

Can you make a video talking about the Audio Technica Lp60xbt

Being an almost 60 YO guy, I grew up with vinyl records, and if I do like the nostalgia and the look that they bring, I find streaming (from Apple Music) so much more convenient in every way that I can’t go back to vinyls.

I don’t know but I think the band Opeth is a good band when beginning to listen to death/black metal, especially considering you are a great fan of tools! With that being said, could I recommend song of the day -- Ghost of Perdition, by Opeth? Love your channel👍🤜

do you have any shape vinyl? I like metal and I saw that Machetazo/Marrow split vinyl has a saw blade shape. Also awesome channel!!

Hi, great video. I love playing records. I have a question about the pre-amp. I have a new Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT USB and a Yamaha receiver (also new). The turntable has a built-in pre-amp, but the volume of sound is a lot lower then i played by example a radiostation. Must i upgrade the pre-amp?

You sir have exquisite taste in stand up comedy!

Thank you. I have lots of 78s. Is it possible to play them on a powered turntable?

Hey! What do you do with the original paper/cardboard inner sleeves after you replace them with soft ones? I mean the sleeves with art or lyrics. Thank you!!!

@4:00, Man oh man, those represses sure shake it up on the market, I totally identify with you on this topic, The industry is in high gear to selll as many records as possible, and if it's decent, it will be out there eventually on the repress.

I gave up on Mofi sleeves during the pandemic. I'm not paying a dollar a piece. The Hudson's are working for me. Got 500 for super reasonable price.

Question: I have heard so much back and forth on whether alcohol in cleaning fluid damages records (that aren't 78s, looks like it's a resounding "yes" on those). I recently picked up the Phoenix cleaning spray from Sleeve City, and it has a small amount of alcohol, 4% believe. Would that damage my vinyl? I trust their other products, as I've been using their inner and outer sleeves for a while with no issues, but I'm not sure on this one.

Hi! I’m planning to get a vinyl player as a gift and I’ve been seeing your recommendations (almost but one of those suitcases 😅), however it can get pricey to buy one and also buy the amplifiers… Are there any recommended ones that come with Bluetooth? Since the person getting the gift has a very good Speaker. And I’d love to give them the player and some vinyls.

Any ideas on a suitable replacement for an ageing Shure M55E cartridge? It’s to fit a Thorens TD-165, with the original arm?

Is the Fluance RT81 good investment

Klipsch speakers are on a huge sale right now on Amazon!

Australia can get hot in the summer and I don't have AC do you have any recommendations on how i should store my vinyl's?

I'm a little late with questions, but, I recently picked up an Audio Technica LP-GO from Walmart. To me, it seems pretty similar to the LP 60, in terms of quality and looks. I was just wondering about your thoughts, if you've had any experience with the LP-GO. (I'm pretty sure that's what it's called)

Nice shirt they're going on a US tour in September and October catch them if you can.

dont get me wrong, the Audio Technica LP120 is awesome, but does anyone know why the tone arm was designed NOT to return automatically to its rest position when the record has finished ?

Also, are the paper inner sleeves with the thin plastic lining in them as good as the all plastic sleeves?

Why do you not like the rounded bottom inner sleeves? Just curious, thank you.

Is there any advice for cleaning the stylus? The stylus keeps collecting lint and I use tweezers to gently pull off the lint without physically touching the needle

hey Jared just wondering your take on the onzow debate I have noticed some brown grime on my stylus which was very hard to get off I've put mine away for now

Hey Jarrett, do you own 12 inch singles other than a glorious dawn?

If I want to record my records to my computer, should I send the output of my record player into the normal set of equipment and have the computer or audio interface at the end of the chain where my speakers would be or can I just run it with my turntable directly plugged into the interface with the internal preamp turned on?

Thanks for featuring my comment! I will make sure I don’t throw any records lol

The trunk of your car is actually cooler than the passenger cabin (when parked), but of course while driving with the AC on, the opposite is true.

I just got a new needle I took it off to replace it and once I placed it my speakers didn’t pick up the music and I’m worried I broke the arm while struggling to pull the old one off

What do you think of buying brand new records online from websites (Amazon etc.) compared to going to record stores and looking through what they have, even if they are second hand quality?

I would that either the REVOX B975 or the MARANTZ TT143 are worth but the lid must be down on the MARANTZ TT143 or it won't play.

Ceramic cartridges tend to track harder and don't have the amount of frequency response as a magnetic. I'd go for a magnetic cartridge because it's required tracking force is less, leading to longer lasting records, and the better quality that it will provide.
