Hi Chris, good to have you back! I love the idea of pitching the old (review) with a thin layer of new to anyone. I will need to try that out this week in *enter random work meeting* and see what happens:-) Also, your use of the word "debacle" made me happy (and vinyl record player made me chuckle as well).
I just figure that if it worked for Angels Horn, why couldn't it work for me?
Great video, and great to see you back!
Always appreciate your content, as it seems to have us (the collector/gear or accessory buyer) as the audience you’re serving.
Much love.
I'll be doing some videos on record collecting as well, but I like the mix.
Great content as always, thank you for what you do.
My pleasure.
Great to see you back hope you had a wonderful birthday and a relaxing holiday. I have always enjoyed your reviews on all the products you have covered. Have a safe and fun 2022
It was indeed a nice break.
Appreciate the candor as always Chris. Authenticity and credibility priceless. Also, loving the new Vinyl Attack T-shirts, very cool. Attack! Also, beard game stepping up to MQA level.
Thanks, I'm pretty happy with the new shirts too.
Oh how I love your reviews!!! Honest to the bone and nothing more! Good to see you back
Thanks.
It is a fine line, between public shaming and letting your viewers know what's going on, but I think you solved it gracefully. Whenever I'm looking for a new 'vinyl record player', I'll make sure to keep away from these guys!
It's tough to do videos like this, but I also think it's necessary.
I can't believe what con artists they are
@@mrfroopy It's a bit frustrating.
Thank you for this one! We need more videos like this!
Glad you liked it.
Once again a great video and review. It floors me sometimes the audacity of vendors that claim to be paying attention to video reviews and then in turn do nothing to better their products! Also enjoying the new look of your videos....nice!
I appreciate the feedback.
There is nothing that I like better than knowing where I can find an honest review. I subscribed. Thank you.
Welcome aboard!
It’s nice to see you back. I hope you’re break was enjoyable.
It was!
Great to see you're back and really liking the darkened set background. Couldn't help but notice and approve of your old Guinness ad 😎
I wanted to switch things up a bit. I'm still tinkering with the lighting set up, but I think this will be the set for a while.
Fantastic as always. Thanks for looking out Chris.
Happy to help.
😂😂😂😂 that new filter made me laugh. Fair enough
Chris, this was one of the most graceful videos I have ever seen! The necessity you did was done with such grace, your a tactile genius.
If it were me approached the same way (it happened a few times back when I was an independent "volunteer" print journalist in the industry), I would have explained my "terms" and flat turned them down anyway (saves a lot of trouble). As it happens, I did exactly that those few times. I don't sing for pay and I don't expect pay for my passion either.
I admire that you took one for the team, I don't have such strength.
It wasn't like it was a sacrifice on my part or anything, I just wanted to let people know what the score is with this company.
@@thevinylattack And thank you for that! To me the sacrifice would be putting up with their tactics, but if there is no negative outcome, then there is nothing to lose and you get a well informed experience.
THANK YOU! I had this record 'player' on my list of possible turntables to purchase for my vinyl ripping project. Thank God I found your site.
I'm searching your channel now for recommendations of a decent 'ripping' turntable. I doubt it will be used with any regularity for simply listening to my vinyl collection. I just want to get them digitized and on the server. Thanks again.
You're very welcome.
Great video! I wished I had found it BEFORE I purchased an Angels Horn "vinyl record player" lol. I'll be looking to upgrade in the very near future! Thanks for what you do here and you have a new subscriber!
Welcome aboard!
More of that and thank you for enlighten me about this company!
No problem.
Glad to see an honest review Chanel.
I appreciate it.
Learned about your channel from gr-research and glad I did. My 1970s Dual turn table is getting completely redone and it’s going to take six months to be finished. I thought about buying an inexpensive turntable just to use in the meantime and the angle horn looked nice in the photos and the price was right. Glad I watched this video before I pulled the trigger. I may just wait until I get my Dual back. Thanks for the great video.
Welcome aboard! I'm glad the video was helpful. I'm not very patient myself, so I feel your pain but in the end it's probably best just to wait.
Thanks for a truthful review
You're quite welcome.
Honesty… a great relief in this crazy world. Thanks brother
Glad you liked it.
Thank you for offering an honest review on this product. I found you after viewing three other unreliable influencers. I’m now a subscriber!!
Welcome aboard!
Greetings from Detroit! Great story
It must have been hard to be so blunt at the end of the review, but as you're trying to look out for us, I really appreciate your doing so. I also really appreciate that you're trying to be as fair as possible. Building that trust will go a long way, I think as you continue to make videos.
It wasn't all that hard the second time around with the same company.
Loved it. Well done to say the least.
Thanks :-)
Thank you for your honesty ! Very rare these days.
My pleasure.
Heyooo! You’re back! Hope you enjoyed your time off 🤝
I did indeed.
"Debacle known as Angels Horn". Good for you. We, your viewers, appreciate the honesty and expect nothing less from you.
I hate to have to go there, but I feel like people should know.
If you want a good turntable, just get a Technics SL-1200G or Linn Akurate LP12.
I think the people looking at this turntable are doing so because of the price range.
Looking like julian assange..lmao. thanks for your honesty
Thank you for being straight with us on products. I'm 71 and heard a lot of B.S. through the years. I believe i can trust what you say about items.
I appreciate that.
Gullible boomer
You are a polite and civil man Chris. I will try and follow your example. One thing that occurred to me was the price of the “Vinyl Record Player” in review and the claims of it being “...best on market” and its having “...first-rate sound quality.” Really hard to imagine that there are “vinyl record players” on the market costing tens of thousands of dollars, and the little box from Angel’s Horn is just as good. Hummm. I think maybe the claims are excessive. Thank you for helping me be nice. Peace ☮️.
It's a shame you can't even trust the "public reviews" these days.
May be of interest ..the term “vinyl record player” is something I have heard Representatives from European audio manufacturers use when I have visited high end audio shows ..so it may be something that’s common place in Europe ..enjoy your vids
Never found a real good review on this turntable, that's why I purchased the Fluance Rt82.
You're definitely better off.
Well you need to look at it from a business perspective. I get why they want you to review. The sad part is, they automatically assumed you would be the "a" typical TH-camr. Free goodies and empty promises, can sway TH-camrs.
Glad you're not a shill , totally why I love this channel .. informative, to the point, and true to its very core and principles.
This is not on you, it's on them if they would have delivered. This would have been a positive review instead of a rightfully so reaming.
Wonderful video, I cannot express enough how much enjoy your delivery and content.
I appreciate the kind words. I do try to impart integrity as a mainstay in this show.
Bet that platter would make an amazing gong!
Pretty much.
I bought it, watched your videos and filed a return, thank you for showing me the truth.
Happy to help.
It's like Groundhog day.
You're not wrong.
Hey there. I own an Angels Horn turntable, not the USB one you tested and so far, I'm very happy with it. It sounds great. May be the USB ones are trash.
Both models I reviewed were sub-standard in my opinion but it's possible a table here and there might be better.
The only difference is that mine isn't USB. Maybe I was lucky!
Excellent review. I received as a gift and it's my first. Is there anything I can do to improve this player? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video and showing this companies tactics. From the looks of the very scripted positive reviews some bottom feeder channels have put up in the recent months, their approach worked on at least a few - I think one actually mentioned they were given the gear to review for free, the rest are silent and conveniently added a kick back link to amazon.. lol.
They gave me the table free too, I just decided to send it back.
Talking about cheap products worth and not worth buying, even tho I hate crosley I’ve been hearing good things of the crosley c100, any opinions or reviews of it ?
I couldn't bring myself to recommend any crosley product.
Great video and way to tell it like it is. We need more of this. One word of criticism and it is the hard lighting, which was harsh on your face and it made you look older than you are.
Maybe pull the light a little further from your face or use a different modifier. Keep up the great content.
I'd agree except you don't know how old I am ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@thevinylattack You are correct, I don't. My reference was mostly to the earlier videos, some being the Fluence Video products.
@@sidvicious3129 I'm still tinkering with the new lighting. It's tricky to do when you're working by yourself.
@@thevinylattack Not a problem as it still doesn't take away from the content and your delivery of that content.
If one found the angel horn turntable very cheap & was willing to modify its short-comings it might be worth picking up especialey the speed flucation problems it could make a fun diy type of thing?
I really can't answer that as it's up to the individual. Personally I feel like spending the time trying to upgrade this table would just be a waste. Too much of it would need to be replaced.
Thanks for this, I have seen other TH-camrs giving misleading positive reviews on this piece of garbage.
Not to slam other reviewers, but I just don't see how anyone could honestly recommend this thing to anyone.
would you ever consider doing a video about Lathe cut vinyl compared to pressed vinyl?
I suppose I could, but I'm not sure how much there is to say about it really.
@@thevinylattack ok, i just discovered them and recently picked up a Nancy Sinatra lathe cut. but waiting for it to show up to hear the sound. seems like it might be decent for punk bands from what i have read about them.
@@b-coli If it's a lathe cut meant to make plates for pressings, they don't hold up. They're not meant to be played.
Sounds like they retrofitted a frying pan for the platter 🤣
If only I'd thought to add a handle and see if it could make breakfast before I sent it back.
I noticed this before in videos before this one. Is the (sometimes) slowdown before switching to a new cut intentional?
I don't follow.
@@thevinylattack For example at th-cam.com/video/bo2_IRgpKN0/w-d-xo.html there is a 2 second delay before switching the video while the audio continues. In those 2 seconds the video also seems to be slowed down.
Maybe it's something on my end... but I've not noticed anything similar on other channels.
After viewing a number of reviews and researching details about this product, one glaring detail bugged me... Why is a cartridge alignment tool included with a product who's cartridge can clearly not be adjusted? I've reached out and asked on more than one retail platform for an explanation and each time never get a straight answer within the platform's forum. Instead, Angel Horn consistently wants to engage in private conversation. In addition, it seems their only reply to this query is that the included cartridge is the only one compatible and already aligned, which is actually not true. Bottom line, Angel Horn comes off as charlatans, constantly dodging real concerns brought to light.
Sadly, none of this surprises me.
I unfortunately bought that very package before seeing this video. I can seem to get it to play with out constantly adjusting the counter balance from song to song. I wasted $237 on this.
Return it.
I'm not trying to defend the product, but:
Why would one judge the quality of the platter by using it as a percussion instrument?
Why would one want to slow down a platter with their finger?
I don't see the antiskating hook on the model, hence I'm not sure if the antiskating problem is still there.
Why do people squeeze fruit before they buy it? To check the quality and freshness. When a platter rings like that, those resonances make their way into your music. That's a terrible idea and a horrible build.
Have you seen it make rhe round's with vinyl vlogers
I don't really pay attention to that stuff.
Angels Horn you say. I will put that on my to do list. What is the to do list you ask, no idea.
I have some lists too. Always a good time.
This petty 😂😂😂 thank you for this tho that company deserves it
I was watching Record-ology's review of the same Angels Horn record player with Bluetooth and speakers and the first unit he reviewed was just hopeless in terms of speed accuracy while the second unit he received seemed to work fine. His strobe disc showed the speeds working quite accurately (Granted, not a hyper-accurate digital analysis of the speeds being tested) and his records sounded decent enough, not that I expected much from the speakers provided.
I still wouldn't buy any Angels Horn record players, but the second one he had received did seem to have been improved compared to the previous lemon he had reviewed.
Either way, there are too many dodgy record players out there and dubious companies that want to profit from the vinyl record revival, so it pays to stick with companies with a better and more consistent track record.
Thanks for another great video, Chris.
Well the two they sent me were equally poor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
bruh... record-ology recommends crosley cruisers turn table (briefcase type turntables) and the way he holds his vinyls says a lot as well.
@@brandonloyo1394 Record-ology is a great guy and for Christmas, he generously sent me as well as six other viewers one of his record players he had reviewed while he paid over $56 to ship the record player from Colorado to Canada (while I would have gladly paid the shipping charges had I known).
Sure, I don't like Crosley Cruiser suitcase record players either, but the point of his videos is to attract newcomers to the record hobby while also providing honest in-depth reviews of any record players or turntables he has or receives. He fully demonstrates the pros and cons of any product he reviews and there are plenty of times when he refuses to recommend a product and often states when a product is good for a novice entering the hobby versus people with more experience.
There will always be people out there that look down on Record-ology or on newcomers because a lot of audiophile snobs have lost the point of the hobby which is to enjoy the music with whatever equipment one has depending on the budget one has and regardless of where one starts, one can always upgrade.
The first Angels Horn record player he reviewed was garbage and received a negative review, but the second one he received worked well, but that unpredictable track record is a reason to avoid this brand altogether as I stated clearly.
@@thevinylattack Yes, I believe you and even if the second one the company sent you had worked well, that would only prove that buying Angels Horn record players are a crap-shoot and few people want to gamble when buying audio equipment when they would prefer that everything consistently work properly right out of the box with no issues whatsoever.
That's why I agree with you 100%, Chris, that Angels Horn is not worth the risk or the cost when there are more reliable brands out there. Even an entry level Audio-Technica turntable along with a thrift store vintage receiver and speakers are a better starting point than an Angels Horn system. :)
If Angel's Horn wanted to send me a free turntable/record player system I'd give them a review. It has to be better than the only thing I can afford right now which is a Victrola suitcase player
It'll do less damage to your records, yes. But I'd just keep saving for something else all the same. You'll be better off.
It's a shame that a full review wasn't done. Recordology did however re-review the table and it indeed sounded much better.
It was the same table. I tested the motor and everything was the same. An additional review would have been a waste of my time.
Guess the price was not high enough for you
Hilarious, but kind of sad at the same time, though Bluetooth & turntable (or in this case, "vinyl record player") are two words that should never go together. 😅
I mean, if you're going through the trouble of playing a record, you're already going for best sound quality, so I don't know why anyone want to connect something with Bluetooth to it, as you're going to lose sound quality. It might be negligible, but call me old school.. I have no problem with wires making the connections, and actually prefer that, with headphones or otherwise! 🤷🏻♂️
I almost said the same thing in the video but didn't want to go too far off on a tangent. I think the bluetooth option is just a gimmick to try and connect with younger people. I still find it strange.
There are other reviewers out there giving honest reviews and they are saying this is a great turntable.
Just saying
If they're saying it's great, I question the legitimacy of their honesty.
So Potter and Angels Hair were trying to get you to help them to add some cred to their crap turntable scam. Good for you for calling them out. Hey and welcome back! hope you enjoyed your time off.
Maybe I should have stuck around for the many free novelty gifts.
Jesus Christ, your lighting...its so....how do you have under100k subs
The hifi hobby isn't all that popular.
It seems like they are dumping these new "record players" on a lot of people. new reviews of this "improved record player" have been slowing up on my feed over the last week.
They're certainly getting around.
Satan’s vuvuzela 👿
The names some of these companies come up with are pretty funny.
I suspect a fishing scam. Sure sounds like one.
What a waste of time, the worst kind of vendor.
It really was a disappointment.
They tried corporate gaslighting and word salad. They failed.
So some robot contacted Santa over here and got him power-tripping?
