TAKE NOTE : I wrote you a long comment in which I asked you for advice on buying a turntable for a specific profile of a music lover. But my comment was published under a video of you that is already from 1 year ago. Being afraid that you no longer read the comments concerning your old videos, I give it back to you here in "copy and paste". Thank you. "Hello. I am a slightly different case. I know absolutely nothing in audio technique concerning vinyl turntables. On the other hand, I have used turntables for a very large part of my life, that is to say for 20 years and probably beyond. We had a high-quality turntable at my parents' house with an ultra-light arm, etc. I am a music lover particularly connoisseur of classical music (and to a lesser extent of Jazz of the '30s, '40s and '50s) and i know musicology. So I have specific expectations in terms of sound quality or rendering. Not perfection of course (many of these recordings are quite old) but still sound perspective and clear sound. I own around 300 to 400 vinyls of often prestigious versions of classic vinyls that would be extremely difficult to find again, so one of my main criteria is to damage these vinyls as little as possible (examples of labels: Deutsche Grammophone, Columbia records, Decca London, RCA, EMI, Philips, Hungaroton, Telefunken, etc.). I already have a turntable for almost 2 years that I bought at a second-hand price and which has been completely restored (changed belt, internal cleaning, change of certain components, new needle, etc.) by a large specialized shop, it's a Technics SL-D2 which must date from the 80s perhaps. I use with this turntable 2 other pieces of equipment also bought at bargain prices, that is to say a NAD 3020i amplifier (same generation) and very good speakers. I use an antistatic brush with synthetic fibers for the maintenance of my vinyls. For the needle, I use 2 "styus cleaner" products from Audio-Technica AT617a: their "tacky gel" and their fluid and brush". When sometimes the purchased vinyl is really dirty, I first resort to demineralised water. Considering my profile described here, which frame model would you recommend ? Because I would like one day to procure a record player brand new. Congratulations for your excellent video".
Hi Paul, Thanks for the comment and sharing :) I presume a lot of your records would spin at 78rpm? or are they all 33 and 45? Cause that might affect what we would recommend.
This video needs more shop dogs 🐕
