    I’ve been away from sophisticated audio systems for nigh on 30+ years. A basement flood destroyed my LP collection and much of my mid-level equipment. I went simple, replaced those vinyl LPs with CDs and moved on. Now, at age 67 and recently retired, I’m moving into a new house and desire to return to a separate component system. I only discovered your channel over the weekend and am so glad I did. Thank you for explaining what could be daunting in an easily understood fashion.

    Hi Andrew, hope both you & Kristi are in the pink of health. Just bought myself the Rega P1 turntable & the Mini A2D Phono stage as they were on sale. It's my first foray into the vinyl world & I'm both excited & anxious. I already have a collection of old LPs inherited from my Dad. They had been collecting dust in my storeroom for over 20 years :). The P1 seems like plug & play but I still wanna make sure I don't mess up. I have a few queries b4 I embark on my vinyl journey & I hope you can help.
    1. will playing very old records damage the stylus ? Do I need to clean the records first? If yes, what would be a good & economical way to do it ? Do I need a dedicated record cleaner ?
    2. how do I know when to replace the stylus ? On average, how long does a stylus last ?
    3. Can I replace the existing cartridge with just any MM cartridge e.g. the Ortofon 2M Blue you spoke so highly of ? Is it worth doing so or it'd be better off just replacing the P1 with a better turntable ? Can I replace the cartridge myself or do I need a pro to do it ?
    4. where should I place the turntable for the best performance ? On a rack e.g. an IKEA Kallax or preferably on the floor ? Or do you have a better suggestion ?
    5. what other kits do I need to have in this vinyl hobby ?
    6. any solution to repair warped records ?
    Sorry for the long queries & thanks again for all your & Kristi's dedication, effort & time producing all those videos.

    Maybe I've missed it, but have you ever shown us how to store, stack or basically treat LPs? I've heard that records should never be stacked flat on the shelf or that only certain types of cleaning fluids and methods are best to use. Also, aren't there different types of "vinyl" that are used in the manufacturing of albums? Maybe it's not the topic that is normally covered on the channel (An excellent channel, by the way.) but there seems to be a lot of myths and facts about how to buy, care for, listen to and play LPs that you could debunk or clear up.

    Andrew, I just wanted to say, thank you. Thank you for your non-elitist videos.Thank you for being you. I purchased a U-Turn Orbit Special with the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, I already have the 2M Blue stylus and I honestly can't wait to listen to it. I have plenty of records that I've inherited and I think I've finally found a hobby that I can enjoy. My only question to you is regarding inner groove distortion, did you experience any of it while listening to your table? From what you've mentioned, these cartridges already come pre-aligned at the factory, and I have even emailed U-Turn and they confirmed that. I imagine with the 2M Blue which is a nude elliptical (I think) I shouldn't experience it.

    Andrew, great info here & very well presented! I have just started looking into a vinyl setup. Because of my initial budget I would love a set of speakers which can accommodate my families needs like  Music, Podcasts, radio & of course my future new turntable which I am leaning towards the new Bluetooth Audio Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB. I love a pair of speakers that can connect directly to my turntable but that are versatile and adaptable to todays tech having both Bluetooth & Wireless abilities. I am intrigued by the SONOS world and the ability to add speakers as I mature into this new adventure but the lack of Bluetooth connectivity is really the only stumbling block. In your experience have you come across any speakers that fit my demanding standards & that meet your requirements for recommending them for me. Thank you

    We got our turntable the other day. Played a 33 rpm Record sound great. And we played a 45 rpm Record. Two days later went back to 33 RPMs. Somehow the belt stretched and now it won’t play. How sad. We just got this thing now we can’t use it. My daughter wanted this thing so bad, we split the cost and now it won’t work. I think leaving the rubber band in 45 mold may have stretched it. It doesn’t take much to stretch this band it’s sort of cheap.

    Let's say I don't have powered speakers. Is this when you would use one amp for each speaker? I often see setups that have 2 amps.

    • @Nesutaadesu
      @Nesutaadesu 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Generally speaking, when speakers are unpowered (passive) a single integrated stereo amplifier is enough to power a pair of speakers. Often times as quality increases components will separate and one might have a stereo preamplifier feeding into a stereo amplifier.
      In high end audio systems it's not uncommon to have a stereo preamplifier feeding the signal to two mono amplifiers. One for the right audio channel and one for the left. This is usually referred to as a monoblock setup.
      This may seem confusing at first but it is essentially the same process/setup just with an increasing amount of components as opposed to the preamp, and both audio channel amplifiers contained in the same metal box as is the case with a stereo integrated amplifier. Hope this helps

    • @louie6378
      @louie6378 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope, Turntable, Preamp, Amplifier and Speakers, those are the things you need. Some turntables have built in preamps and if speakers are "active" or "powered" then that means they already have an amplifier built in.

    Would you say keeping the preamp separate is the way to go vs getting the u turn with it built in? I was kind of wanting it built it just to have less stuff but I’m getting lost in all the videos I’m watching haha. Also stuck between buying one of their higher end ones- I want the pretty finished wood- a fluance or the Audio Technica AT-LPW40WN.
    I love the look and idea of easy listening with the u turn being a newbie, but if I’m gonna choose to spend $4-500 I definitely want to make sure I’m choosing wisely. There are so many naysayers on u turn who say go flunace but i love the idea of supporting american made too. Any who I’ll stop rambling but please assist if you see this, I’m so far down the rabbit hole!
    Your video on the C62 made me consider a Crosley!! Thanks for all your inclusive and fun videos and showing you really don’t need to spend too much for a great product!

    Do most powered/active speakers and integrated amplifiers digitize the incoming analog signal before converting it back to analog (for digital volume control, bass management, etc)?

    Hey! I have a question for anyone who might be able to answer. I'm completely new to this stuff so sorry if this is a stupid question. Is there a way to put together a system that will allow you to use a standalone record player AND a standalone cd player? I don't want to get one of the cheap all in one system floating around but I didn't know if it was possible to have both separate mediums in one stereo system because I can't seem to find any information on the topic. I hope that made sense, thanks to anyone that can answer! (PS I'm posting this on a few videos do sorry if you see this comment more than once lol)

      Instead of using powered speakers you can buy non-powered and an audio receiver which can handle multiple inputs. Be sure to do research first and have a plan regarding how much wattage and how many channels you will need. Your choice in receiver will determine how much flexibility you have in updating your whole system.

    Amazing videos as always, Andrew! Quick question: is putting the Audioengine A2+ speakers you have on the same shelf or surface as your U-Turn Orbit Plus okay? With my set-up, I would have to have the speakers likely only two or three feet away from each other flanking the record player, and I'm afraid that playing them all on the same surface would create too much resonance and would impact the performance of the Orbit Plus. Do you think that's an issue and that I should get speaker stands, or should the heavy build of the Orbit Plus not make this a problem? Thanks so much for all you do - you just gained a new subscriber! :D

      @@andrewrobinsonreviews Always enjoy your vids, but actually on the U-Turn it is indeed needed (As per U-Turn). The arm is calibrated with the mat, since the U-Turn doesn't have an adjustable VTA, that 3mm comes into play. Yes, usually acrylic platters can run naked, not the U-Turn. That being said, replace the felt mat with an acrylic mat and you've accomplished the benefits of having the acrylic platter in the first place.

    Great video(s)! I was hoping you can explain why getting an external pre amp for a TT even though it has one built in already, may help with the delivering better sound/ reproduction of the LP..as some suggest? And in what case is it worth it to by pass your built in TT pre amp? I have the Audio-Technica LP3(has pre amp) with a Yamaha RS-202 which does not have a phono pre amp, and Klipsch RP-400m speakers. Do you generally hear a marked improvement or should one focus on a stylus cartridge upgrade as a first step?

    hey so im looking to buy my first ever TT im a complete dumb for tech stuff, i dont know nothing about audio, im just looking to collect my favorite albums and listen to them, nothing like an audiophile elitist thing, just a casual here... So i wanna buy the pro ject debut carbon which dont have a pre amp so i would need to get an external pre amp to connect it between the turntable and the speakers, right? Well, watching reviews here and there i watched this guy who sets the turntable and connect it directly to the speakers, no pre amp between, he said it was because the speakers already got some build in pre amp so you dont need any external. I have read that the build in pre amp that comes with turntables are not so good, so my question is if it is the same case for speakers? like i was looking for some edifier speakers which apparently have that build in pre amp and i dont know if i can just relay on that pre amp and dont buy an external one, or should i buy an external pre amp anyways? in that case, does it matters if my speakers have build in pre amps while im using an external one? in case im using an external pre amp does it matters if my speakers have or not a build in pre amp?

      You don’t need a preamp with the ProJect DC if you use powered speakers that have a built-in phono pre-amp. I have one and use it with Klipsch Fives, which are expensive ($800), but you can get less expensive ones.

Right now I have the sony pslx310bt which has bluetooth so I just paired it with a marshall speaker, and it sounds good but could be louder I guess.

    Hi Andrew. The most important thing you have to do to with both brand new records and used ones is to thoroughly clean and vacuum your records, If you do not want to invest in a record cleaning machine you may as well stop reading. So you will need a record cleaning machine. Record cleaner. Power cleaner, and record preservative.
