I hope you enjoyed my video, let me know what your setups are and if you have any questions. Have a fantastic day! :) - เพลง
I grew up in the vinyl age and must say that it's very refreshing to see a young person such as yourself getting the most out of this hobby and most importantly knowing exactly what you're talking about. You are very well spoken and interesting to watch and listen to. I'm sure what you've done here will be of great value to many who are getting into the hobby. Very well done!!
Thank you so much for the kind words, really appreciate it :)
beninski707 1/3 of people who buy vinyl now are teens.
Yes I know but most of them don't have the knowledge that this young man does.
maybe not teens as such, mostly hipsters that buy cheap turntables lol,
I guess you don't know what a hipster is? The hipsters would be the once with the expensive and right stuff.
Think the new vinyl fans are mostly doing it the right way (or do the research before how to do it right where this video is good for). The only place I see for the Crosley are the wannabee's or the parents who only mean well. Can't imagine somebody want to get into the hobby and think I'll spent good money for records but not for the record player where everybody complains about the cheap all in once.
When the music came on, it just blew my mind!!! I'm definitely going to start a vinyl collection!
Some technical comments: the audio is not "etched" it is "pressed" from a metal master. Also wax went out in the 50s, all 33 1/3 rpm records are pressed in vinyl.
Fred Zlotnick was going to say the same. Vinyl. poly VINYL chloride
Here how a vynil record is made th-cam.com/video/ZbTPKCtdhSA/w-d-xo.html
After I found out about my Crosley being rubbish, I've stopped playing my vinyl and am saving for a new turntable (which is a Pro-Ject).
Good idea man, it'll be worth it :)
Joshua Simmonds Vwestlife debunked the crosely tracking force record destroying myth. Although they are cheap. It's silly to buy new turntables when the technology has hardly advanced. You can just get turntables from previous decades that originally went for hundreds for like 70$
@Thomas Headley not everyone wants to be an "Audiophile".
Thomas Headley lol
I have been collecting records since 1958 when I was two years old. j have had several turntables over the years, ariston, Oracle Delphi, systemdek, maplenol, and currently a rega 3. speakers over the years included Polk audio 7, paradigm, celef, spica t 50, that I recall. it's been a blast collecting and listening to well over 6000 LPs over the years. nice video!! 😀
This is the place I first found Oh Wonder. And haven't stopped listening since. They are now my favourite band. Thanks for turning me onto them!
I very much enjoyed your video. No new information here but very eloquently said. A pleasure also to see your setup and your reasons for your choices. Always great to get another perspective. It's gratifying that young people are enjoying the experience some of us grew up with. No question it's because of the embrace of a new generation that everything in the vinyl world is evolving in such beautiful ways! Thank you for the tour!
my first time watching your videos and wtf i immediately subscribed - you sound so passionate and god damn, love your style
Great video and nice explanation of why Crosley turntables are so bad.
Thank you! :)
where your vinyls damaged?
Jeremy Stillwell With a Crosley you are unlikely to hear the damage unless you put the record onto a decent system. If you get a brand new second copy of a record and compare them on a decent system, I wouldn't be surprised at the difference. I bet your listening enjoyment will be a 1000 times better o a system such as in the video
Too bad that it's untrue.
@Jeremy Stillwell offended crosley man
Love your enthousiasm and the joy you experience with the vinyl listening ritual. Which I find satisfying too. As a tip, swap paper sleeves for anti static ones. Records turn into slightly less dust magnets...
7:12 thos shoes look so snug and comfy
I love the look of Project turntables and your setup is the kind I want to have eventually. I just bought my first turntable and am learning all the things, this video was really helpful!
But them shoes tho
My favourite slippers ;)
Wtf are thoooooooseee?!!!!
Wiping the anti static brush on the oily palm of your hand after use does what do you think?
You've just 'massive twatted' yourself... priceless!
Jaymes Khell legit a really good point! Thanks 😂
You should also never bring it outwards when you take it of, drag it through the middle/label in order to de-magnetise it :)
records are magnetic?? lol
Fucks sake!
Hi Tom. Great setup you have. It was a pleasure to watch and great to see someone younger enjoying the pleasure of records. Cheers
I love listening to vinyl. Im now getting back into cassettes and starting a collection for tapes.
Thank you, a pleasure to listen to your demonstration. Good luck with everything. R.
thanks for playing that vinyl I discover a new artist and cool setup by the way 😊
I have the same turntable but in red, youre so right about a dust cover! I live in Spain too, very dry, a lot of dust. I have often thought about getting another, but it's a great turntable!
I found a completely new artist just from your video that i would have never even looked for/at. Just bought their album. Thanks! 😃
Watching you is like listening to myself 30+ years ago. I had a set up equivalent to yours then I discovered Linn. Glad I kept all my equipment as it is still as good today as it was then.
If only my budget would stretch to Linn! Great to hear about the longevity of your older equipment :)
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I've gotta say Man you're voice is so relaxing. About the content of the video nice explanations :)
I just subscribed. Amazing video
It sounds so good! Love your setup
I love the MARANTZ TT143 Linear Tracking Turntable and I wish I still had it as the sound it produced was like that of a CD just so detailed. I still have my TECHNICS SU A900 MKII Class AA amp is brilliant sounding but need recapping every 12years.
The speakers sound great , Thinking of getting a project turntable my self , nice vid
Thanks! Yeah they're great :)
As much as i enjoy my own vinyls, seeing kids who think you literally need to drop a grand or more just to listen to music is mind boggling. Its nothing more then a marketing and trendy right now that give or take in a few years most of these youtubers will regret spending all the amounts on vinyl players, speakers etc. Find what you like and use it, don't let some snob who threw a couple grand at theirs tell you how to enjoy your own.
Anti-static brush used in a wrong way... you are only cleaning the dust, but the anti-static continues there. In order to discharge the anti-static you need to touch it to the ground... in other words cleaning to the direction of the centre (and not outwords) and touch the metallic part of the brush to that little metallic thing where the record hole enters! And then you clean the brush to your hands.... yaic!!! what are you doing? Did you notice you can rotate the hand support 360º which will remove the dust of the fibers? About the stylus cleaning, I don't think it's a good idea to use any liquid at all. Just a small dry fiber brush is enough, and GENTLY beneath the stylus... When I see the tonearm going up, that does not look gentle. Everything about playing a record needs care and love. This is just an advice... please don't get me wrong. Regards.
Milton Ruas all very good points, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I've had a few people telling me the things I was getting wrong and have adjusted the ways I use the setup as a result. Kind of amazed I didn't think about a few of them before making this video! Thanks for the advice though, rest assured the bad habits I demonstrate occasionally in this video are no longer a problem. Thanks again for the comment, have a great day! :)
Not trying to be smart or witty, I came here because I"m interested in buying a record player and some vinyls, but after reading through the comments , I'm not so sure. Understandably, the experience of listening to an album can be heightened by listening on vinyl. That being said, it seems that you can do so many small things incorrectly that they can magnify and detract from the experience or worse yet, ruin your vinyl or player and make you look like an idiot. It's to the point where I feel paralyzed by fear of not spending at least $300 on a player, another $50-$100 on a stylus, cleaning supplies, and then finding out my novice entry level Energy speakers are complete shit and that I really need a $800 player to even begin to appreciate and listen the the correct way. Why bother, eh? Perhaps I just made my own point that it's "not for me" unless someone wants to talk me off the ledge. Cheers.
Nathan McGlynn do it. get a decent table. n just do it. in listening to a few oldies on a crosley but am looking at getting an audio technical. I'm thinking like this. back in the 70 s ppl didn't take great care n sum of those records r still hanging n not completely trashed. I'm gonna play the same record everyday on the crosley and see if I really get any damage. but whatever cds can get scratched n still b fine. even if you finger the grooves it might mess it up but it'll still be ok. just do it up man
Great video, my setup involves a Audio Technica At LP 60 with the built in pre amp switched to line, then crappy sony speakers that I need to upgrade soon.
Excellent.Thank you for posting. Nice Telecaster by the way.
Hey Tom, I'm thinking of getting into Vinyls. Your thoughts on Audio Technical AT-PL 120, thanks
This video just reminded me how much I liked Oh Wonder, now I need this record! :o
So if I already own a basic sound system tower, where you have the cadets, the cds the radio and then a switch for phono, you could add a good turntable to it and it would play? This sound system is one my mothers been using for ages since I was a little kid. Never had a problem with it.
Oh Wonder. Yes. Great video man!
Nice set up. After owning a few tables I've discovered I like fully automatic units. How may times have I left the room came back and the record ended.
I have a turntable from Vibe and it never damaged any vinyl. I had it since the Christmas of 2016 and it's still working well. The only problem I had was the singers voice not coming through. But with an adjustment of some wires, it's back to normal. I couldn't find proper wooden crates for my records so at had to make my own from metal wire crate sheets. It didn't ruin anything
Is Audio Technica LP60 (Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable with SP121BK Active Speaker ) worth getting?
Careful with the stylus cleaning fluid on any ortofon 2m cartridge. If the fluid contains a solvent like isopropyl alcohol it will gradually dissolve the glue holding the stylus on to the cantilever. Ortofon advise against it.
Wonderful video! I've learned a lot of information, thanks mate!
I bought a similar turntable to the Crosley but didn't really play anything on it. Then I saw the numerous videos and forums imploring me to buy another turntable. I have now purchased the Audio Technica AT LP-120. It's a great turntable. I've sold my Crosley now.
Thank you for introducing me to Oh Wonder!!! AMAZING!,,
great video Im shopping for a new turntable but im running Quad S54s with Marantz amp and tape deck I love the Quad s
nice system mate, well thought out - the audiolab was a stunner in its day....
Nice turntable, I considered one of these but decided to restore my old PIONEER deck, which is running like a dream. yet to try that cartridge and stylus, heard good things about it. Nice set up
Sounds good brother !!!!!! Nice Kallax shelving !!!
Real good video. Love music on Vinyl. Rock on!!
nice to see young-uns with the right attitude great vid well done
Haha thank you!
Sounds AMAZING!!! ❤
Where did you get your stylus brush? Mine is getting a bit ragged now, could definitely do with a new one
Awesome set up, I've only recently got started with vinyl. got almost 50lps. Love my Rega P1 (black), my Onkyo a-9010 & Q- Accoustics 1010's. Only criticism I have of my set up is my speakers. They're lacking the bottom end, though the clarity and brightness is amazing.
You didn’t mention what kind of speakers you’re running. What kind are they?
Great Video...thank you! Really cool to see young people still into HiFi like us older ppl!
Great video, pal. That Tele looks sick as well
Yeah I bought a £60 one and it's got shite audio too itv just came today should I return it yeah
I use a Reloop RP4000m TT that goes in to the phono stage of the Yamaha HTR 5150 receiver the receiver is paired with a Paradigm Reference 5.1 speaker package but when listening to records I like to just run the main loudspeakers and the sub. Nice little setup you have there m8.
Oh forgot the cartrage and stylus is a Ortofon OM black nothing to fancy looking to upgrade in the near future
Lovely setup man. I wish I hadn't sold mine (had to move far away). Enjoy!
This was a refreshingly cogent video about LP enjoyment, so thanks for that. I'm also a B&W fan, but can't afford such a nice record deck - pretty much everything I have is a thrift store (charity shop) acquisition.
Anyway, good video.
Cheers.
Great video dude, your channels super underrated
what can i say to convince my parens to let me buy a turntable to listen to vinyl?! I have been looking and researching for at least a year now, but cant come up with a good enough reason to choose vinyl over itunes and cd's. I play guitar, study music at school as an elective and just love music, but that can't convince them! Please help and great video by the way :)
just picked up an audio technica lp60 and realized it doesnt have a tone arm adjustment which is kinda dissapointing.. from what ive heard its still better than those crosley ones and the tone arm is set to 3.5g which is still kinda high but not terrible. I havent even opened the box yet but im too tempted so i hope i dont ruin my records. ill probably upgrade eventually though.
Hey man! I'm considering buying an ION Audio Max LP Turntable as a start and upgrade it from there? I would really like to hear your opinion about this. Really nice video, shows that you are taking care of your records!
Cheers!
where did you purchase your album shelving
Does this turntable has a pre-amp?
myyy goooood im in love
suuuuuuuuuuuch a great video bro!
What would your opinion be on the Rega Planar 1 turntable? I was planning on picking one up next week as my first turntable since becoming an adult
Ben Patrick hhh
I use an AT120 with the preamp removed. Ortofon 2M Red, Yamaha RS300 amp, and Klipsch Monitor Speakers. Oh Wonder is a great album!!!!
Lovely setup! Yeah I love it :)
I want the OW vinyl!! where/how do i get it?
I would recommend the audiotechnica lp-60 turntable
It is cheap
It sounds great
Not all belt drive turntables are manual for the speed. My AT-LP60 just changes the speed of the moder to get the right speed when you click a button.
Ok now I need that l.p. you was playing I like it
As a point of reference, I've never had an issue using original equipment like Dual turntables that have been cleaned like new. They were made at a time when vinyl was THE way to listen to music. Record stores are the best way to learn about the equipment you need and try it out before you buy!
Plz DO NOT use fluid in the 2m red as ortofon says in their manual that it can destroy it but because the cement which holds the stylus diamond can soften
Hi Tom, my name's Howard and watching this video has given me a strong sense of deja vu - in many ways you are like myself, choosing a separates set up and avoiding those hideous Crossleys though in 'my day' - the late 70's - the bette noir were music centres. My Pioneer record deck and Wharfdale speakers lasted me about 35 years and were still going but I decided to upgrade/modernise a few years back with a Project Carbon and some Q Acoustic speakers. Seriously though, why do you young uns not just stream or download? Saves space!
new to the vinyl game. does your turntable have a preamp or does the amp act as pre-amp/ amp all together. cheers
The amp acts as the pre-amp as far as I'm aware :)
I have saved £400 what setup do u suggest for this amount of money?
Never had a good experience with belt drive turn tables. But I was mixing tracks. Maybe having 1 TT just for listening is fine. Speakers sound nice though 👌
Your speakers are passive or active?
The speakers though man, even tho it is a cam mic recording it, it they do have a nice deep sound, would love to know how i can maybe find those, and also, i do listen to Vinyl, and i do love it more then listening audio on a Mp3 or Phone, if it is like a Flac file it sounds better, but still, Vinyl is my go to source!, and great video man, keep it up!
I'd recommend using a cleaning gel for the stylus over the liquid and brush. The liquid can overtime dissolve the glue that's on the needle.
Great video and definitely subscribing for more vinyl awesomeness
I wouldn't knock all budget tables, before I bought my AT LP120 I had a Pyle plttb1. it had a counter weight which was pretty accurate, anti skating, a removable headshell, strobe light, and pitch control. felt cheap but worked amazing with and upgraded headshell and cartridge. For $77 it was a great turntable to rediscover music and decide if I wanted to invest more into a better setup, and yes the AT LP 120 sounds better but not by a lot with the pyle I had a technics headshell with an Ortofon 2m red set at 2.1 grams. However that was the only cheap thing in my set up, the receiver and speakers weren't cheap.
On the road to hi end audio?
I NEED THE OH WONDER ONE PLEA S E it's not in stores anymore :(
Wow! sounds really good...
Never heard of Oh Wonder before. I see that they are huge on streaming services, but never played i Norway. Need to get my hand on a OW record!
I enjoyed your video what's your favorite music on vinyl
amazing setup!
Nice video. What camera do you use?
What are your thoughts on the Audio technica lp60
Toby Bradley
It's trash.
Nice budget setup but I would recommend pulling the speakers out at least 10 inches away from the wall for proper bass response and less feedback that placement is not doing you any favors, how are you enjoying the rpm 1.3? I would also recommend getting a decent quality phono pre amp and bypass the one from your receiver, Add a nice sub and you are off to a great start.
Is an Audi Technica LP60 worth getting
The build in phono preamp in the LP120 is is really bad sounding :-(. I guess the same goes for the LP60. I recommend starting with a Rega Planar 1 and a separate phono preamp. That also gives you an option to upgrade it later without changing the turntable. Long term investment ;-).
Great you're into this hobby. I bet your friends come listen to your records often?
i have an Audio Technica LP60..
what do you think?
Audio technicas are great!
Nice choice on that oh wonder record
Suggestions for an affordable beginners set up?
I'm thinking of buying a pro-ject elemental or essential III, do you know if you need an amplifier with that or can you just get powered speakers and thats your setup ready?
it depends on if it has got a built-in preamp. The other solution is to buy a powered speaker with built-in phono stage/preamp.
(Excuseme for my weak english knowledge...)
Janosch Amann it has a built in pre-amp so does that mean ill be ok with just powered speakers?
+Aoife Geoghegan yes
All belt drives are manual selection only? What turntable do you know of, rather belt or direct, that can automatically detect the record size and speed?
There were loads in the 80's from the likes of Sony, Pioneer, Aiwa, Panasonic B&O etc that could detect size, and some could even do track selection. Not sure about automatically detecting the correct speed though.
It was more geared to the statement that all belt drives are manual selection only, inferring that direct drives use this magic to not have to. I have seen track selection ones. Since the size dictates the speed, in most cases (though if its an odd physical size then it would throw off the detecting ability), then either the automatic size detect ones could change speed accordingly or the ability to detect size has no effect what so ever. I didn't know they had auto detect ones though. Ill have to look into them.
no, you can get belt driven turntables with electronic PSUs. No need to move the belt to adjust speed, just flick a switch on the PSU.
warm up?
does it have tubes in it?
The Urban Cowboy I think he means when the relays disengage when its turned on
I only buy turntable with dust cover look's great!
I bought a Audio Lab 8000A Preamp and 8000P Power amp in 1997 it has never put a foot wrong, its never been to a repair shop in its whole life very reliable.
I had a Audiolab 8000A back in the 90's....fantastic amp and built like a brick outhouse. I would argue that it's warm sounding....to me it's very good at detail...clean crisp sounding. It's not very forgiving on bad recordings. Having said that, I was using mine almost always for CD playback, so I would imagine the phono output would be of a very good quality. I ended up replacing mine with a Arcam 8R, which in theory is a lesser sounding amp....but was more forgiving of bad recordings and sounded warmer.
Like the Project....I remember when their original Debut came out in about 1990!!!!....basically a Rega Planer copy.
Amazing how things go full cycle.......
