Regarding the tone arm - it just takes a screw driver and 5 seconds kf elbow grease. You just have to loosen the screw in the "ball" joint which holds the tone arm - you can see it in the side of the arm. Just loosen it a liiiitle bit and it will move more freely and let you set the counterweight just right. Hope that helps. It makes this good record player a great one.
House Of Marley is a company that has gotten a lot of flack for focusing more on aesthetics and with functionality coming almost as an afterthought, but I still admire them for their ethos. Almost a decade in the market, they've proven that their sustainability isn't just a gimmick or marketing ploy by being consistent in their efforts to use upcycled/recycled materials. People fail to realize how expensive it can be to make trash look decent and not DIY-ish, let alone as good as HoM does. I just wish they'd pay more attention to sound quality and functionality and not settle for basic, even if they aren't an audiophile brand. But as a lifestyle brand, they're awesome because their stuff is probably the most difficult to fake.
Hey, just to let you know, I just bought the *Wireless* version of this turntable, and it does come with volume control this time, along with bluetooth compatibility. Arm balance still sucks, but once it's done, it's done. I like this unit quite a bit in fact.
BTW-in case you or someone else doesn’t know, the Capitol rainbow label was the label used for the Beatles original Capitol records releases in the US. Capitol used that label until the end of the 60s. The Beatles Rarities, which came out in 1980, marked the return of the rainbow label.
I have this turntable which is the first turntable I've got since my parents old one (from the 80's!) broke down. When it comes to the headphone jack, it's good thing to have if you have for example a small home - zero privacy and small kids in the mix. That's when I use headphones for days when I don't want to disturb anyone and just listen to good music. Also volume can be adjusted - you just need headphones or speaker that has separate volume adjustment on them. And it works.
Just picked up the newer BT version of this. I was able to balance the arm pretty easily. Maybe they fixed it? The only issue I had was with the anti-skate. I set it to 2 to match the tone arm balance but it may as well have been 2 million. The tone arm would constantly pull back in the later tracks and really bad in the run out. Dialling the skate right back fixed that tho.
Thanks for the video. Very informative and answered all my questions. I just had an opportunity to get one of these turntables...can't wait to try it out. That was awesome seeing Merle Travis in this video. One of the few guitarist to get a guitar made by Bigsby. Yep...Bigsby made electric guitars too at one time...not just whammy bars. They still hold up and look unbelievable today and are extremely rare.
Had mine a few weeks. Got it free, so tough to complain, but the platter spins in a very wonky fashion...I get that records won't be flat but surely the platter should be..... It sounds ok but it's my first turntable so I have nothing to compare it to. It does look nice however 😊
I have owned a Marley bluetooth speaker for a couple of years. Love it. Just got the basic non bluetooth turntable and hate it. The needle sensitivity sucks and if you do manage to balance it correctly and the next LP you put on is not the same thickness you need to start over. It's heading to craigslist.
Like I said before, it's pretty ez these days to disguise crappy stuff as quality products. This turntable, however appears to be at least a couple of steps above that and it would certainly appeal to the vast majority of casual listeners. I'm sure it's performance is quite acceptable when paired with some powered speakers but I think it would fall short hooked up to a quality audio system. It actually looks like a pretty good buy to me.
Just picked up the Bluetooth version for Xmas!! Love the look. I have an old hitachi turntable still that is hard to beat quality wise but Bluetooth and USB have its place today. Thanks for showing how to install the belt in the original video. I thought mine was missing when I unboxed!!
Looks like they actually took the effort to design something themselves, I like that. Most of those entry level turntables are just generic Hanpin rebrandings.
Hey went out bought one on your recommendation! Had same trouble setting up . What did you set the tracking at? I used my jewelers scale and when it weighed in at 1.5 that’s what I set it at. Enjoy your site.
Hi. How did you change the cartridge on this without destroying the connections? I can’t seem to find a way to take the headshell off first and trying to do this with it on just seems a little too sketchy. Thanks.
I have encountered the same problem. Appears soldered with some green coating applied. I am reluctant to remove the leads. Will just replace the stylus.
@@MrDangermouse10 I'm facing the same issue. My connections have a blue coating applied that glues the cords to the cartridge. Did you end up changing just the stylus?
To Record-Ology again I must agree with you on the tone arm I'm sure it can be balanced well but it seems stiff I guess you can say if it was me I would have to take my time to make sure it was balancing right I like the TT it looks well built I even like the cloth dust cover you don't have to worry about scratches on cover,I also recently saw your video of the ATLP-120xusb the new one by audio technica one year latter I saw as the tone arm lowered it went down too fast I had same with my ATLP-120 IO used this lube called DiffLube I believe bit is some kind of silicone base lube they have different thicknesses I used a small amount and the viscosity was 500 they have different thicknesses but this fixed it so looking forward vfor your next video thanks again !!!!!JRo
totally unrelated topic. Just wanted you to know that I have the Studebaker Master Blaster that you reviewed and absolutely love it. Unfortunately I misplaced my power cord so I can't charge it. so I called their customer service line and got an actual human being that answered the phone and they are replacing the power chord no charge. Now that's a company that stands buy their products. Just wanted you to know
But seriously, in my book, auto stop is not that great a feature to have. We all know that the size of run out grooves vary from record to record, based on how it’s mastered (among other things, like length of the tracks). But all auto stop TTs are set to the same place to turn off automatically. So you could still be listening to something and with no warning it shuts off. I’m not at all saying that this happens all the time or even frequently. But it’s still a possibility. Can you turn off the auto stop? If you can, that would be the answer to this problem. But if you can do that, then why have auto stop in the first place? Now you can see why I don’t think it’s so great a feature on a TT. I for one appreciate your follow up videos. Everybody posts initial reviews, but not that many that I’ve seen have posted follow ups. It’s nice to see how well something has worked for you!
What would be better this Marley stir it up or the LP60X from audiotechnica? Iam a beginner but since you said that the sound quality is not as good as expected... would you please elaborate on that? thank you (:
I had the lp60x for a couple of years. Great turntable but the speed was never right and solving was so troublesome that I sold it… I’m very tempted to get the Marley one
Nice vid! I owned this turntable but gave it as a gift to my brother and bought a Sony for myself. Why? I really missed a heavy plastic dustcover and it had a big wow and flutter issue. But the design of this thing is huge!
Has someone changed the cartridge of this turntable? Thinking of doing that with mine, since the sound is muffled and changes when I press the stylus against the cartridge. But the cords behind the cartridge are kinda glued. So I'm afraid of doing something stupid haha
Going back to watch your old reviews, I keep on noticing that all of the turntables with the 1/2" mounted AT3600L cartridge had it swapped out with an Ortofon OM5e the next time I see it. Hmmm...
@@Recordology Is there a trick to taking off the wires from the stylus cartridge? I bought a Ortofon 2M Red was wanted to install that on there but now I'm too chicken to rip off the four wires on the AT cartridge. It be a lot easier if I could take off the big Silver Marley Headshell but that screw is like impossible to reach underneath the arm... I'm new to all this vinyl thing if you haven't guessed...
@@Recordology Cool. I bought the Studebaker a couple months ago, which is a China-made Spin Clean that costs half the price. I've cleaned about 35 records with it now, mostly old records that my family gave me. It's not a miracle worker, but it for sure makes a difference and has turned me into an advocate for having some type of cleaning system.
Thank you for your honesty, you have nabbed yourself another subscriber. I’ve been between the Stir it Up and the ATLP60xUSB (I kinda need the USB functionality personally because it allows for greater flexibility and also helps with digitizing those old LPs that don’t come with digital codes like most of the more modern vinyls do, and AT locking the functionality for a $30 more expensive SKU is SHADY af IMHO) and honestly this one is pretty tempting. Unless you think the extra $30-$70 is worth it to get the ATLP60XUSB or the Bluetooth and USB one. I think the overly complicated SKUs for Audio Technica is a huge issue for me and that might push me towards the Marley one and not just because I’m a big fan of their sustainability with their products, but also because they don’t have a hundred and ten different SKUs with minor differences to confuse new vinyl people like me.
I don’t know anything about turnables. But I really want one. What do you recommend, I don’t wanna spend €200. I just want something good and easy to use like €100-€150. Is this possible? Thanks.

@@Recordology I'm in the same boots. I'm already watched everything about the LP60X, but my only concern is the stylus itself. As far as I can tell, the LP60X's stylus only replaceable for the same type, so I can't use a more "detailed" stylus for it, because the headshell isn't support it. Am I right?! I'm looking for an usb turntable, which have at least an interchangeable cartridge, because these low budget AT styluses... I don't know.

Hi, nice video! I am actually about to send my stir it up to fix/replace (it's still within guarantee), and that is how I found your video. Recently, it started skipping in the last song of the record, and it just goes on and on around the same line. Unfortunately this seems like a common issue of these turntables, since I found several comments online of other people with the same problem as mine. Its sustainability was the main reason I bought this turntable, and that does not disappoint. But I the sound quality is really not as rich as I expected, and the counterweight and arm are very annoying. Another thing that happens with mine is that the plate wobbles when the record is playing (not sure if that can have repercussions on the sound quality/record). Finally, my stir it up doesn't have autostop, and I don't think that they normally do. Maybe you changed yours to add that option? Just wanted to share my experience with you!
I have encountered the same issues you report. I did what follows: I got a digital scale to make sure the tracking weight was ok: looked I did a good job manually - the tonearm is annoying but it’s a minor issue in my opinion. I think the reason why the antistop seems disabled is because the antiskate (many users complained about it) is too high if you set it at the same value of the tracking weight (as instructed). This causes skipping problems towards the last grooves and if so happens while the needle is in the runout grooves, it gets locked in a loop right before the autostop mechanism activates itself. I suggest to raise the antiskate value till the point the autostop works freely (mine is little less than 1): I tested it with a blank record and it works, no inward arm movement. My platter wobbles too, and it is noticeable in the author’s video as well… Maybe THIS is the cause of the wow and flutter issue some users report? By the way, did you have it back from the factory? Did they fix the reported issues? I had contacts with their customer service, they were swift in replying, but haven’t sent it back yet, I’d be thankful if you share your experience. I hope this helps you and all the other users that may encounter similar issues. What I think of this table? I am new to the world of vinyl and I don’t have any term of comparison, I don’t think it sounds bad though, and some upgrades are possible if the needle is changed. Should they be able to fix some functional issues, I think they would come up with a good product, expressing its true potential. Let’s see what they come up with in the future…!
I bought this a couple of days ago and I find it has a bit of whirring motor noise, does yours have this and is it pretty normal or is it faulty? My previous record play was pretty much silent.
Returned mine - wouldn't play a record - brand new or old - without jumping. Watched all the video's on tone arm balancing and even went as far as buying a scale to measure the weight - nothing worked - would not recommend!
I've just bought the bluetooth version and am having trouble balancing the weight of the arm and the anti-skip setting. I've followed the video tutorial online but albums and 12" single keep getting stuck the closer the needle gets to the centre of the record. Any tips please?
Had the same problem, and I think it is a common one: www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?t=101935 www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?t=100049 I am sending mine to guarantee, so my suggestion would be to contact them and try to fix/change it with them. Good luck!
Amateur. Anything bellow your soul and left nut in price is absolute pathetic trash. If you plinth is anything but virgin unicorn horn you might as well be deaf. Go back to your Beats and your MPshits and leave vinyl to us the real audiophiles

Wow...! Thanks!
Nice thanks! I’ll do that right now!
So do you tighten it back up after? It seems as if setting the weight and the anti skate go against one another

Returned mine - wouldn't play a record - brand new or old - without jumping. Watched all the video's on tone arm balancing and even went as far as buying a scale to measure the weight - nothing worked - would not recommend!
Is that pivot ball tonearm made of metal?
I believe it is....
I've just bought the bluetooth version and am having trouble balancing the weight of the arm and the anti-skip setting. I've followed the video tutorial online but albums and 12" single keep getting stuck the closer the needle gets to the centre of the record. Any tips please?
have you tried customer support?
Had the same problem, and I think it is a common one:

I am sending mine to guarantee, so my suggestion would be to contact them and try to fix/change it with them.
Good luck!
a decent starter turntable imho
love your vid
what's the speaker you plug on it, does any usb speaker can bu used on this turntable?
The speaker must have a line input.
How do you play sound without speakers ?
You must have speakers.
Can you turn off the auto stop? Great video btw
not sure...
No.
Ive been having a lot of issues with wow and flutter with this turntable, and ideas how to fix it?
I think the wobbling platter is the main issue…
Would you consider this overall a better turntable than the Crosley C8?
C8 wins hands down.....
@@Recordology Thanks man you've been a great help on breaking down which turntable I want to go with.
Can you connect your cellphone to the Marley Turntable?
No this one....
Any luck with Bluetooth pairing?
My version is sans BT.
@@Recordology copy that, thanks for the reply and review !
@@chadbonanno5724 no problem to connect with my Jabra 65t
How do you adjust volume, bass etc
It looks nice.
Does it comes with a cover for the turntable
No
How did you upgrade the cart?
We have a video on upgrading these....tedious but doable.
@@Recordology thank you 🙏 could you possibly link me it?
Sure! th-cam.com/video/pQg6JszKmME/w-d-xo.html
what stylus are you using?
A plinth made of bamboo, more like trash and poo 🤢🤢🤢. I only buy 20 million dollar turntables where I can hear the bacteria multiply on my vinyl. /s
Amateur. Anything bellow your soul and left nut in price is absolute pathetic trash. If you plinth is anything but virgin unicorn horn you might as well be deaf. Go back to your Beats and your MPshits and leave vinyl to us the real audiophiles
Just got this will see
It’s a good one! 👍
Avoid, inconsistent, unreliable and troublesome...a complete waste of my money...very disappointed
Отличный обзор!
I would never buy a turntable without a dust cover👎👎👎👎
