Song name?

Why not remove the need for an external ground wire by soldering the internal ground wire to the one of the RCA cable grounds???

3:30 Why are you burning the DJ cartridge?

Hello DJ Fix! What is your opinion on 3g tracking force? Do you think it is a little heavy and will wear your records over time? Can you run this cart at 2,5 possibly? Or shouldn't be worried about 3. I have this cart and I feel like it has some background noise. I could be tripping but I also have a AT-VM95ML which is around the same price and I feel like has better sound overall. I only use them for home listening. I also have the new Ortofon Concorde Music Blue but haven't used it much yet.

Do you think the Clubmk2 that tracks at 3g will grind your vinyl and ruin it over time?

Good job! Did the trick! Thanks! 😊

I loved this sample so much I made this: th-cam.com/video/3IjNicNGTKY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-2FA5hhYoiFB245t

Thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for.

Very straightforward explanation. Great job.

helped me a lot as always ! thank u very much cheers

Just fantastic. Thank you.

My god, it worked! You are a Saint! Wonder how much some one would have charged me to "fix" this issue....

I believe these are designed to alter the equalization to increase the 1khz-2khz range that's used in the timecode signal. Also, the frequency response only goes to 18khz. Wouldn't the DJ version of this cartridge be better for playing actual records since it doesn't alter the equalization and produces full range frequency response to 20khz?

thanks for the video! i was scratching my head trying to figure out why i wasnt getting any audio on my sl1200 after a restoration. its always the simple stuff that gets you lol

ah crap. Another expense lol. I'm gonna have to get a grant or a loan now.

Sou do Brasil essa música e muito nostagica

Thank you for the tip. I am planning to ship my turntables to asia from the US. Any recommendations on which shipping provider to use? Also, if you can give me an idea on what it would cost. Thank you!

So, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.... But, why in the world would you let your tone arm go with the counter weight on and take the needle off?! You should have secured the tone arm down first. Your bearings are probably shot now in that assembly. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would never do that.

Thank you so much for the video! I have an SL-1200mk2 that had what seemed a broken tonearm, as it could barely play records without skipping (it would constantly spring back to rest position whatever I would do in terms of calibrating/anti-skating). Checking the bearings is something that never came to mind as I assumed they were broken/missing. Turns out they were intact, and that the arm was simply loose/misadjusted! After recalibrating everything, the SL-1200 works like new. You saved me a new tonearm!

Bro is a crip

yeah dont do this with your tonearms

What size ball bearings are they? where's the best place to buy bearings sapphire preferably

My RCA seem fine but I need a Kevlar cased ground wire. Damn cats

The wife’s cats chewed through the ground wire. I’m here to see how to replace it. Video is much appreciated. Might do the RCA swap as restoration. lol. You want to talk corrosion? A previous cat with anxiety would pee on my stereo every chance he got. El Gross!

Sloppy job. Sorry.

This was really helpful. I have to package up a turntable and was getting confused looking at all sorts of fancy foams etc...but will go with a good amount of wide bubbled bubble wrap instead. I imagine a good rule of thumb is to use as much as you think you need then double it! Just need to source a suitable box now.

One thing to point out the ground wire should wrap around for a reason and I've seen it many time if it get ripped out or pulled on pre say I've seen it take all the tone arm wires with it even with a zip tie

Hey, thanks for this video. I was wondering about this as my tonearm does not seem overly stable ... and was confirmed recently to have issues w/ the bearings. While it's not quite as bad as the one in your video, the pivot/pin (whatever it's called) is definitely a bit wobbly and I don't think passes the test you performed. So... what to do? If it's not repairable, what are the best options?

Wow glad I watched this thanks for making the video appreciate the effort

Fantastic advice and sorted me out immediately, thanks!

Thanks for that! Very helpful. The guy who runs the Australian Technical Production Services is brilliant.

brazilian a brazilian song ♥

For the second turntable, I have a 1200 with similar issue, bearing is dented, and if you swing the tonearm it snaps into the middle with quite a bit of force. The fix is rip the bearing out, use a reamer to ream that hole to exactly 5mm, taking care not to go too deep. Then press in a MR52ZZ bearing in its place. This will save the tonearm, and it will function correctly. MR52ZZ bearing costs about 20 cents each, and the reamer is going to vary depending on where you get it. But DO NOT use a drill bit. Use a reamer. You can make quite a bit of money doing this fix to turntables with this issue because the bearing it comes with is very nonstandard, and is made of some really soft material that is easily dented. MR52ZZ bearings, even the cheapest Chinese ones, are made of hardened steel and ground to a very tight tolerance. They will likely last far longer than the turntable.

Thnk you bro...❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much mate. I had a problem on my MK2 with the right channel ..(no sound)..and i thought it might be the RCA.. But then i watched your video and tried what you suggest...and BOOM!! Both channels work perfect!! Thank you very much..

Using this for my Halloween costume, thanks so much ❤❤

Great video...I have an Audio Technica LP1240 turntable which I plan on digitising my vinyl, it has Line,Phono and USB output options,.what price of test equiptment would you use to test which is the cleanest (signal) option? Much appreciated.

Just what I needed to see. I'm need to change out the RCA cable on my SL-1200. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this !

Thanks a lot, just ordered a scope and going to do the same to adjust and checks.

Hi I think a review of those jico 477 (shure replacement m44-7) would be a great video aswell as the ortofon scratch mk2 concordes. Unfortunately I'm limited to spherical needles as I have straight tone arm vestax pdx d3s mk2 and I'm torn between the 2 mentioned and the ortofon digital mk22 that youve already reviewed 😊

Did you ever test this with a lower tracking force?

Rock Your BaBy....George McCrea...great song!!!

Great tutorial !!

Wow!!! Thank you so much for posting this! I was about to have a recently acquired Technics SL 1200MK2 rewired and maybe tonearm reworked until I tried this and realized it was the contacts. Excellent!!!

Hi mate, my problem on my 1210 mk2 is you can twist the arm asin it must be the screw underneath the tonearm but how do i get to it, do i need to take the whole tonearm out from underneath? any help much appreciated thanks

Awesome job bro!

insane. not only did this fix my issue with no audio at all. both my speakers now work! (I had accepted the fact that my left speaker would never work when I got the table thinking it was a bigger mechanical issue lol) thank you sooooo much!

Im a fan! You desperately need SMZeus.
