@@scottinman5788 Look into an LP cleaning system like Spin Clean, or perhaps an ultrasonic cleaning system. I use the KARC-1 from Kirmuss Audio. If the smell is coming from the LP jackets, though, I regret that I don’t have any suggestions that might help, but I wonder if leaving the jackets outdoors in the sun for a day might kill the mildew/mold. I haven’t tried this, but it couldn’t hurt.

How about the best ways to test anti-skating and correct for it. I know that you have the RT85, Jarrett. So do I, and I love mine. Fluance, like most manufacturers say to set the anti-skating dial to the same value as the tracking force, but that’s not necessarily precise enough. I have a couple of old LaserDiscs, and they are perfectly suited for testing ant-skating. They are precisely flat and cannot warp, and have a smooth surface (no physical grooves). When I dropped the needle, I found that the tonearm skated toward the spindle. Observing this, I would move the anti-skating dial while the stylus was on the surface of the LaserDisc, until it remained motionless. That’s how I tuned my RT85 so that the anti-skating force was exact. Had I not done this, and if I had followed the instructions, there would be more pressure from the stylus on the inner wall of each groove, and it might cause more wear or distortion. There are some audiophile TEST LPs that have blank sections for anti-skate testing, but using a LaserDisc allows someone to drop the needle any place on the surface to test the anti-skating force. LaserDiscs can be found in thrift shops and online for under $2 or less. I have a local source that sells them for $5 apiece.

In your situation you can also slightly unscrew one of the screws on the back of your receiver and slide the ground wire in there before tightening. Slightly better option than taping.

Song of the day: Won't you be my neighbor- Mr. Fred Rogers

If your receiver doesn't have a grounding post you can always loosen a screw on it's cover and use it instead. Any metal cover on a receiver will be grounded, so any screw attaching it will also be grounded too. Taping it isn't a good idea, because if it loosens or contact is intermittent it could cause a grounding hum, which can blow speaker drivers if it occurs at a high enough volume level.

Song of the day: Sunday Morning - The Velvet Underground

Actually, the original product specifications of a vinyl record were put at withstanding up to 8 grams. I'd say that if your tracking force is over 5 grams, your records will wear out faster (speaking from experience and research). But not be "carved up", more like your surface noise will very slowly increase.

I recently hooked up my Technics SL-DB35 to my Yamaha RX-V663. Since the needle on the TT was missing, I replaced the cartridge with a Realistic-Shure RXT6. I also had to order the ground cable and the belt. Now I am waiting for the pre-amp to be able to have the system running the way it should, given that the Yamaha receiver does not have phono inputs. I also have many records that range from the '50s to the '80s, and when played, you cannot hear any crack or pop on them (yes, I take very good care of them LPs). Great video!

I higly doubt he listens to Hip Hop. Call it hunch. 🤭

Amazing video brother!!! :-)

the part about using a scale to determine the tracking force was something I hadn't thought of. Many moving parts that have to be adjusted to work perfectly.

Another reason for low volume is something that happened to me. I was very proud of the sound my new turntable produced.I told my friend he came over. I switched on , and the pitiful sound it produced was embarrassing, until my wife said "should the headphones be plugged in!!!!

Hey I have a question. My record player plays almost all my records but two to the end. For the two it will stop before finishing the last song on the record. Is there anyway to fix it? One of the two is a Disturbed Down With The Sickness Vinyl and the other is a 7 inch vinyl. Is there any way to make the player finish the songs before auto stopping? The model is Wockoder KD-2008BL.

I recently purchased a new preamp which I am now very happy with, however grounding the thing was a chore. I have never had any problems grounding my turntable but this one was a bugger. Eventually by pure chance I grounded myself between the chassis of my receiver and the ground on the preamp, I noticed the hum lessened. To remove it completely I have the ground wire from the turtable to the preamp ground and a separate wire running from the ground to a screw on the receiver - which is a little annoying.

A problem I personally encounter is the cracks and pops on vinyl, but not for the reasons you pointed out. Usually some vinyl that are brand spanking new from the factory, for some reason from the get-go upon playing it sound very (or occasionally) crack and poppy, and there are not scratches either, even upon properly cleaning them, even upon using an anti-static brush, those weird sounds didn't go away. From what I heard I think they're called "Dimples".

My Audio-Technica LP120X USB works great with my Mackie CR3 monitors/speakers. No preamp / amplifier needed. The best turntable I’ve ever owned. 🔥🔥🔥

if you are using a moving coil cartrige make sure your pre amp has these connections for m/c and not just moving magnet connections .

The sound keeps cutting out at different times when I’m playing a record. I’ve tried using different records to make sure the problem wasn’t with the vinyl. I don’t use any external speakers, just the built-in ones and it had been working fine (for about 6 months) before this issue came up. The problem isn’t with the built-in speakers either because I connected my phone (via Bluetooth) and the music was playing just fine. Could the stylus be the problem? I’d appreciate any thoughts and ideas.

my dad had this turntable where the needle would always go back to the beginning of the disc so it would play over and over without you having to do anything, and i was wondering if that was possible on the newer ones?

Here's one for you: What is the problem when, after releasing the cue, your arm doesn't fall directly into the groove at that point, but drifts a little so that it is not falling into the feed, but rather several grooves ahead?

I had a question. I just bought a '45 and it now came in, but when i played it the turntable stopped a couple of seconds before the actual song stops. I didnt know if you had any problems like that or not, but it would be helpful if you could give me some tips

@Vinyl Eyezz. Great video as everyone I've seen before. Just a suggestion from my side though. When referring to a phono stage just as a preamp it can be confusing to newcomers or less technical people. Any integrated amp has a build in preamp, it has to, but doesn't necessarily contain a phono preamp. In a seperate system you may also get preamps and power amps, and again these preamps does not always have build in phono stages. A phono stage or phono preamp if you want contain the correct gain with build in RIAA equalization. There is also a difference in gain between MC and MM phono preamps. I know you know this, but a newbie could go out, buy a preamp because he heard that is what he needs, and then sits with a line stage preamp that won't work.

Well LP records were designed to withstand 6 grams. Yes they will wear down your records faster the heavier the tracking force is, but people exaggerate with this a lot. I have a teac lpr550 player at my summer home which tracks at 5.0 grams and i have played some records with it over 40 times and they still sound great. It also depends on your stylus a lot, i ordered a LP Gear Cerapreme Blue stylus for it which is a great stylus.

I have a Marantz turntable and the dust cover hinges are no longer holding the cover up. I've already tried to get replacement hinges from Marantz and they don't provide them. Any suggestions?

I have my turntable connected to a home theatre system and it sounds good. Would the sound actualy improve if i bought a receiver and bookshelf speakers instead?

I'm really not sure what to do my records are all popping but they also are distorted. When I play a song you can hear the song playing underneath it slower if that makes sense. Kind of like background vocals but it's definitely not intentional. My needle is fine and brand new and I'm not sure what to do it's every vinyl I play. The popping is constant but the whispering or background vocal issue is only when the volume is at certain levels? I'm not sure what to do and could really use your help

Hi. I have a problem which is not listed in your video. I get a vibration drumming sound when my volume from the amp goes above a certain level. This generally occurs at the start of a record, even a new one. What could be the reason? I have a Marantz TT5005 turntable connected to an amplifier which has the pre-amp as well. So I operate the Marantz in the OFF mode.

Hi; hoping you may be able to help with this problem. My son is having issues with his turntable. It seems to play fine at the hi-fi shop. The tracking force was adjusted and it seems to be playing just fine. However, at home, it’s distorted. The distortion seems to phase in and out. His friends turntable sounds fine (same album, same amp and same speakers) Tried a external pre-amp and aux input; still no improvement. Any suggestions?

Hey great video, however when I am playing a record i get what appears to be a ground hum, however the table is properly grounded to my receiver. Its vintage Marantz 6300 and when I place my index finger close to the cartridge head the hum increases in volume, when i pull my finger back the hum grows lower in volume??? can you email me with a solution?

Thank you for this video. My problem is an oscillating low frequency hum/wobble that is only happening when the stylus is in contact with the album. So it is really annoying at the beginning of the LP or in between songs. I just purchased this vintage Benjamin Miracord turntable. When the music is playing it really sounds great. I’m tracking at about 2 grams. Any ideas?

Mines has a pop and keeps repeating it won’t get thru the whole track. What was the liquid you use to clean it? And what did you use to apply the liquid.

I never use scissors to open a new lp. I use the corner of my fingernail to slide it down like a utility knife.

Thanks for the tips, I seem to have a distinct lack of treble on mine (bass is great) and I don't know if it's the amp, the speakers or the turntable. I've set it all up correctly, tracks at 2 grams. The turntable was given to me by a friends work colleague and have a new stylus on there all set up and tracked correctly to my knowledge, I have some quite rare Russian speakers from the 60's or 70's given to me by my late grandad (and they sound fine on other sources), and the amp I bought 2nd hand off ebay (Sony STR D311).

I'm trying to fix a problem on my new A-T LP120XUSB. I Connected my player to some brand new CR3 speakers. They connect via Line. So when I increase the volume as soon as it gets a certain level a high pitch sounds start coming out of the speakers as if it has something to do with the tonearm. I plugged in other devices to the speakers to see if it was just the speakers but no dice. It only demonstrates that sound when playing the record player.
