My parents had a stack changer record player from the early 70s. The 45 RPM vinyl records needed a yellow adapter on the center to play on those types of turntables. My current SONY turntable comes with it's own 45 RPM adapter. Most of my parents vinyl records still play great with barely or no skips. Most of them are 50 plus old. Some hair like scratches on their vinyl, but still sound & play great overall.

@DeafManVinylАй бұрын
Sounds like there's a pre-amp missing in the equation. If your amp isn't an integrated amp (one with both a pre-amp and amp built in) you'll need a turntable with one built in (there will be a switch in the back that says LINE or PHONO). Or, you'll need to add a stand-alone pre-amp between the turntable and amp.What model turntable and amp do you have?

So I have a Denon AVR -1100 which has a Phono Stage. Problem is it sounds like crap. Can I still hookup a pre-amp between my Denon and turntable? Or maybe once I have a preamp i don't even care about the Phono Stage of my Denon?
@DeafManVinylАй бұрын
So, you can't add another (external) pre-amp on top of the receiver's built-in phono stage. You'll just get a distorted signal. You can however add an external pre-amp and use another input (try plugging it into an unused CD or AUX port). Hope that helps.

The carbon fiber brush just ended up adding bristles onto my records that were a pain to get off, not to mention that I still had the same problem of dust jumping to the other side even with the cleaning mat. Am I doing something wrong?
@DeafManVinylАй бұрын
Man, that brush shouldn't have shed bristles like that. Are you maybe pressing down too hard with it? As for the jumping dust, if the record is to the edge of the mat and the mat is hanging slightly out over empty space (e.g, the edge of a counter or table), the dust should be falling off there. Hope that helps.

additional insight : when using cleaning solution with a spray, especially if you're generous with it like in the video, don't do it too quick and aim away from the central label. some central labels can tolerate cleaning solution just fine, but only some... others will be harmed, and even a careful swipe of the microfiber cloth might damage it if it comes too close and touches the wet label, causing little pieces of its paper to curl up and the label will look less "clean" and new. I personally care more about the music than anything else, but it did happen to me, and it was still a frustrating experience I'd not recommend !
