I replace my stylus after every song.
Ah yes...
I too can afford a mansion
Kaku Neko He can't afford a mansion because of all the needles he buys.
I tye off and inject myself with record needles.
I've heard mixed reviews on the Victrola - is it really not worth it?
Ryan Smith is probably suggesting that he plays 78 RPM records. Swapping a new needle per song is standard procedure for 78s.
If a needle is good for 2000 hours, 1 LP per day would give me about 5 years til it needs replacing.
unless you end up doing stupid a noob mistake like me. New LP120, dropped the needle too hard and flattned the damn thing.
@@terran236 noooo
@@gkb4401 LOL it's okay I bought a new one from Amazon and they mistakenly sent me three.
@@terran236 wtf lmao
Isn't a needle good for 500-800 hours?
I've got a record player from my Grandpa. Its an Pioneer C-4600 and its build in 1975. The stylus was never replaced and it still sounds amazing.
I'd still buy a new one regardless I'm sure it would sound even better
I guess it's time to change the needle on my 1965 Motorola then that's the original needle
Tammy Cooper i also have a old record player original needle still on it
Yeah me too, and the needle is fine. Still as sharp as nails.
Hey if it ain't broke..... It may still damage your records
Lol.
@@2010stoof How?
Think of purchasing records from you, Tammy, this is why purchasing second hand vinyl records from random people very risky
Even if you played 2 LPs a day everyday for a year this will only put 490hrs wear on the tip. Most good quality styli have a life of at least 1000hrs. With clean LPs you can extend this to 2000 minimum.
I'm REALLY glad you put this here because I've had my system in a listening room away from where I live for a VERY long time. However, up until recently I have barely gone over there and done any listening. So, using your number above which I HOPE is somewhat accurate :) it would take 4 years to put 2000 hours on a stylus. If I listened to 2 albums every other day, it should take 8 years. So, I figure that if I listened to 2 albums every 8 days (which I haven't even come close to that) that would mean that it would take 32 years to put 2000 hours on my stylus... :D
I think that you have put my mind at rest...
Thank you!
sounds rather a lot
@@charlottewhyte9804 it’s diamond we’re talking about!
I've never replaced mine. Also i don't have a record player.
Seems legit
I always replace my needle after every fix.
It's more sanitary that way...
2nd that. No objective reference for stylus replacement.
when you tube vids sound better and clearer than your vinyl! Replace your stylus then! If you get good carts to begin with then you should only have to replace the tips! I have a pair Stanton 500's they have lasted me nearly 6 years they sound crappy now! don't know weather to jump into some nice new ortofons or just get some tips!
i just got one
I always listen to the last track on an album to determine if my stylus is getting worn. This track is the first to reveal any loss of sound quality probably because the stylus tracks through the grooves at the slowest speed at this point on the record.
Very excited to be finally getting into the vinyl craze. Ive done it all, Walkman, Mp3, Casette. Time for the grand daddy of them all
Do you still have your reel-to-reel deck? How about that DAT unit?
Or, just buy two of them right away, and when you feel it's about time, just compare the old (clean, of course) and new one. If the new one sounds better, time to change.
Best thing said on this subject! Let your own ears decide!
Excelent advice.
give this man a coockie
Wouldn't the new one obviously sound better even if the old one is still in good condition
Actually not a good idea, because you want the freshest stylus the store has in hand, and you should start using it.
Your backup stylus, even if not used, will wear out of deterioration. He also mentions this in the video.
So even by not using your turntable your stylus will deteriorate.
Nice info Jarrett, my lp120 is less then 6 months old, I don't play every day, but I did throw a hint to my son about the Ortofon: 2M Red Cartridge Mounted on SH-4 Headshell, LOL! For my next fathers day present.
+Brewer65 Nice! That'll be a sweet upgrade!
The thing about growing up with something is you take it for granted. By the time CDs hit the market I was in my late teens and we only got the cheapest record players, so I thought CDs were mind-blowing and my records went in storage. When mp3s came out I sold off all of my CDs. About eight years ago I found a turntable in the trash and intended on scavenging it for parts but when I got it back to my apartment I noticed it was in great shape so I kept it intact. It's a 1977 MCS 6700 Direct Drive. It had a Shure cartridge with a missing stylus, which I replaced with a new $40 cartridge from a DJ supplier. It sounded good and it renewed my interest in records right at the time they started becoming a thing again. Last year I upgraded to the Ortofon Blue. Holy cow! It sounds incredibly good, and some of my records sound much more alive - even different musically. One in particular is Kraftwerk's "Computer World," which has a great three-dimensional sound stage through the Blue. I'm amazed at how solid the Blue sounds - not at all vague-sounding like any cartridge I had before. Clearly a good cartridge brings you closer to what the artists intended for you to hear.
I also have the blue. A very good stylus indeed
Funny, I came across an MCS 6601 at Goodwill for $6 the other day, googled it because I'd never heard of it, and thought it seemed like a really decent piece. Didn't buy it because I have two SL-1200s :) Came here because I think my stylus might need replacing or at least cleaning (Ortofon DigiTrack). Will have to check out the blue.
Do you still have the Shure cartridge? I ask because I recently bought a 1978 HH Scott turntable that has a Realistic/Shure R1000E cartridge and I was surprised how good it sounds compared to my Audio Technica LP-120 with the AT A95E cartridge.
Still running the Ortofon VMS made in 1984. It spent some thirty years unused in the attic so the mileage is low. Ordered replacement needle from Japan, tried it... not as good as the original. Swapped in a Grado cartridge... very different, but not really bettter. So I kept the Ortofon and so far it's fine.
I have had the same stylus and cartridge for 19 years and still works great
Watttttttt
@@scrantonpa7408 It depends on material of the stylus as well. I remember on one of my older LPs, it distinguished two types of materials. One of them (diamond) was said to last 1000 of uses. So if Michael plays only occasionally, like once in 2-3 weeks on average, its possible.
wow thatss tremendous
Woah, bet your collection big
what's your turntable
I got a record player for Christmas and I'm still learning all the nuances. Just got my first Skynyrd album!
Onio Saiyan what kind?
@@toepincher Audio Technica AT-LP60 in silver. The non Bluetooth version.
Ancient Philips GP200/204/205's and AG3306's still giving excellent service here. Also rather elderly Sonotones, and BSR's too. And an old Lenco, a refugee from the rubbish dump, poor old thing. Of course with new stylus when needed, they're old ladies now LOL. Great channel you have.
+River Huntingdon nice! Thank you for watching River!
Great video....whenever I buy a system I at the same time buy a spare cartridge always been second nature for me.....take care and have a great week
+psykodj67 that's a great habit to get into! Thank you! Have a great week also!
Hey Jerrett! Love your channel. Could you possibly put together a video on how to select the proper cartridge for a turntable? I'm doing a little research for my PL-540, and am having a bit of a time sorting all this stuff out. I'm still a bit new to vinyl. Thanks!
Great informative vids. I've just got my Kam record decks out of storage cleaned the player's/needle's and records and they sound great first time.
just replaced the cartrage and needle on my 35 year old turntable. was pretty sure the magnets were worn out and had never been replaced in 35 years. so I put a Audio Technica CN5625AL on it and it sounds awesome!
+brad feazel Nice! It makes a huge difference!
6 months?? Are you out of your mind?? With proper care an OM cartridge it will last from 2000 to 3000 hours. If you have mint clean records and you clean the stylus before each play the stylus will last you years, even with very heavy use.
i was shock too, it's like replacing a tires that you just bought last 6months and that kind of shock got me :D or wait, maybe his referring to those cheap ones that came from those China Tables
+Majinga Zetto I have been using a Fisher MT-6225 turntable that my father has had since the 1980's. It has an OM 30 cartridge on it from the same period, I'm imagining that this should be replaced?
His video is so incredibly ambiguous. It offers virtually no information. He needs to talk about tracking weights, hours, etc. All he says is anything anyone with a functionig brain would know already.
There is ideal and what is practical and it isn't practical to replace a $300 stylus every 6 month or even once a year.
Kathleen Kennedy Sexist Evil Witch Of Satan Every video this guy makes offers no actual advice at all, just gimmicks. Man’s a dumbass
Ortofon states to replace for example a 2M Red every 1000 hours of playtime. On facebook they state replace it every 500 hours of playtime. I almost threw my 2M Red in the trashbin because it sounded thin. Found out that needles can be wet cleaned as well. Bought an Audio-Technica cleaning solutin with a brush and it worked like magic. As long as you clean your needle properly every month (clean it with a brush every time you play a side of a record) you're good to go. My father was into DJing in the 70es and 80es as a teenager and he never replaced the needles on his Technics turntables and today one of them still runs with the factory stylus - still sounds better than a Crosley. Finding your channel is by far one of the highlights this month. Keep the quality stuff rollin'. Greetings from Germany.
I replaced the stylus on my turntable after 5 years (Ortofon 2m red). I had just noticed the sound being "off" just a bit. I took my player in to a local shop and the guy looked at it with a microscope. He said it could have lasted a little longer, but it was close to time to change. My playing habits vary depending on time of year and what I'm doing.
At least now you know you're good to go for a while that's peace of mind
I use the Audio Technica ATN3600L needle. I play my records almost every day, and i've been using it for at least 2 years now. It still has lot's of life left, and i've had no problems with it
Replacement or original stock?
have had my old soundlab deck 28 years.still got the original stanton 500 on it.
Can I replace my stylus with any kind or does it have to be specific to the model?
It all started again with me buying Rockola vinyl jukeboxes. After realising what I have missed about vinyl for the last 30 years I have dug out my old stack turntables and I am about to fire up the twin decks in my den next week after years of them being tucked away! I am going to revive three of my sixties record players and I might even get around to finishing that fifties radio/record player!
Will using a dull stylus chew up your LPs? I just upgraded from a Crosley to a very nice vintage turntable and I’m honestly not sure what shape it’s in because it has been such an upgrade for me and I have nothing to compare it to. Just wondering if it effects anything other than the listening experience.
Ive had same Ortofon 2M red with original needle since 2015. I rarely play records now. I highly doubt i have a thousand hours of wear on the needle. My records don't sound muddy so looks like im good for a while.
I just replaced both the cartridge and stylus on a Pioneer Pl-518 from the 1970s. Now it sounds good, especially after aligning the cartridge with a Stevenson protractor.
The cartridge on my Thorens TD 150 is the original one and still sounds fantastic. I do change the needle about once every one and a half years.
I believe also that if you take care of it it should last a long time maybe even longer than the manufacturer specs
thank you thank you thank you... ive been using the same needle for 3 years and play 5-6 records a day give or take, never had any problems until recently, can you help me out though, do i have to get the same kind of needle or can i get any kind?
I have an old Panasonic epc 451c strain gauge cart from the early seventies that’s had thousands of hours playtime and it sounds better than any new cart I’ve heard from friends and family.
I have a Victrola record player and I just got it in December. The needle is now very short and barely visible but I haven’t played records non stop? I play them often but not excessively.
I need to replace the needle but why did it run out so soon?
I just ordered a new stylus for replacement because the old one was starting to scratch records due to wear and tear. Have you ever experienced scratched or damaged records due to a worn stylist?
For this 4 years i've already replaced around 5 stylus (including cartridges sometimes). Just because i've tried to find my special one turntable on yard sale 4 times.
my dad has a 30 years old record player and i have never replaced the stylus and it sounds great!
Should i change it?
I got a audio technica LP-120 turn table and have over 300 albums and the purpose for me getting this turntable is so I could record all my albums for on the go. It took me 2 months to record all 300 albums and I have not yet had to replace my styles
I don't think you'd have to replace your stylus every year even if you played it all day, every day.
Hello, Craig. I respectfully disagree. Those stats might be popular in some circles, but in my opinion, they are a pretty big overgeneralization. Specifically, here's why:
Many factors come into play with stylus life: shape, stylus cleanliness, TT set-up (VTF, alignment, level TT, etc), whether you clean your records before you play them, etc. If you play dirty records with a dirty conical stylus then maybe 500 hours (certainly more than 300, imo) is a good number. However, a properly maintained conical stylus playing properly cleaned and maintained LPs on a properly set-up TT should get more than 500 hours of life. In fact, a properly maintained microline stylus could easily do better than 1000 hours. At the very least you should look up your specific model's manufacturer's recommendations. Mine does not even give me any specific numbers. Why? Because there aren't any (for the reasons I just listed).
Maybe just replace annually regardless? Assuming proper set-up and maintenance, there is just no reason to replace a stylus annually unless the stylus is simply worn from playing your LPs several hours, and I do mean several, (or more) every single day. Hey, it's up to you, but I definitely disagree with what are, in my opinion, highly over-conservative numbers.
@@batman.darthmaul why did you reply to your own comment
@@gibsbren I didn't. The comment I responded to was deleted.
@@batman.darthmaul oh
every 3 or 4 months with that amount of uses
I hear music coming from the needle part, but when I plug it in sound is barley coming out the speaker, I have a Modular Component System 6601 direct drive automatic turntable? Any thoughts on what is causing barley any sound
I have a AT-LP120XUSB turntable, should I use the Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge listed? I play a lot of records.
How long would a diamond stylus last if you are playing a record everyday, the 1980s Technics turntable has a diamond stylus and it is sounding a bit dogy. Basically does it make a difference if it is a diamond stylus?
I have upgraded to my fathers old Hitachi HT-350 and it's still got his stylus and cartridge in it. Probably atlest 10 years old but more probably it's 20 or more. The weird thing is it does not sound obviously bad.
I am planning on getting another cartridge that is newer but probably cheaper just to hear if there is any difference in it being more "fresh". Would a old cartridge be okay if you found one unused or rarely used?
I have a 1978 Toshiba deck replaced original stylus in 2012 about 6 months or so after I got it. I maybe play 3-4 records every week on it and its been fine so far. I will likely change it by end of this year though.
I just ordered a 2m blue needle to replace my red one. Excited if there will be a differnce after 3 years and god knows how many hours of play.
I got my Numark TTUSB last year for Christmas and I can say I played it nine months out of the year. It still feels like it has life but it's the stock needle it came with. Should I just for safe keeping?
Hey Jarrett could you make a video about which Stylus to buy? I would love to get an Ortofon 2M Red but it costs more than my entire collection. Thanks!
I have accidentally bend the needle, but it still works, but makes some weird sounds. So should i replace it?
And one more question....
I have a B&O beogram 2000 with the original needle on. Can I just replace the needle with any needle/pickup. That not is from the same company?
also depends on the tracking force?
I used to use a microscope to check the stylus/needle, and look for flat spots on the sides. Check Jim Lindenas channel he has a few video's on that topic. ( Instead from the top. Look from the side that touches the groove ) The stylus/needle doesn't wear on the tip , contrarily to believe.
Nowadays i replace it every 1200 hours of playing.
That' s about 1300 records to be played, and that's about 25 records a week to play. For it to replace your stylus/needle every year.
But setting up your record player cartridge combination properly will help tremendously yes. Also keeping your records clean helps a lot.
BTW older cartridges are still good, but like you said. some parts deteriorate.
MC cartridges like B&O mmc cartridges have internal moving rubber parts.
I Highly Recommend You Do Not Buy These as NOS. Replace them ore send them of the be repaired.
The MM Cartridges can still be used, though buy a new stylus/needle immediately when you intend to use the cartridge.
There are still some really good cartridges out there like for instance.
the Audio Technica AT-12-XE which can still be fitted with a range of styluses from spherical to Shibata. Just to name one.
I had luck with an old JVC QL-A2 record player that has a JVC Z-1 cartridge and a broken needle. and was a little beat up.
Thanks Jarrett. When I get my player soon I will remember this :)
+Craig Vinyl cool! no problem!
Have had my AT125LC cartridge and stylus on my Technics SL220 turntable since 1982, so 40 years. Still sounds great to me. Is that wrong?
I have a record player from the 70's (maybe late 70's) and I'm pretty sure it still has the original needle. It sounds fine, maybe a little muddy, I'm not entirely sure. Though that could be because I don't have a preamp yet. I'll be getting one though. Also, do you know if there are any replacement needles that you can get that have both the regular needle and a 78rpm needle, as mine has both and it would be nice to have to have both?
I just got a pioneer pl 990 used and am definitely gonna change the needle
Went to play a 7 on my atlp120x and as soon as the needle touched the record it slipped off the edge and went onto my rubber mat for about a second/two seconds max. Should I be concerned? Still played well. Sounded good. Luckily I just ordered a Ortofon 2m red. Don’t know when it will get here. Just wondering if a second or two is enough to not play any records whatsoever for the time being. 🥺 also got a tool record I haven’t had a chance to listen to and wondering if I should even go for it now or wait
Hi i was wanting to know about how to change the cartridge i have a audio technica lp120 and the AT95E has changed as of 2019 i didn't realize it until a few days ago the new cartridge replacing it is AT-VM95E im just worried about changing it being i have to reset with cartridge alignment and never had to before as the original AT-95E was perfectly aligned
One of my m44-7 cartridges sounds muddy. (let's call it "number 2")
Do you recommend to replace both of them or just "number 2" ?
I don't want to replace it and realize that the new cartridge now sounds better that "number 1" and I'll still hear the difference.
Thanks for making the video! :D
Doesn't it really depend on what kind of needle you use? Because the Ortofon 2M Blue for example should "live" quite longer than the Red, right?
+Dominik Heinzle Yes, it really depends on the record playing habits and also the quality of the stylus. If it's a higher quality, it'll wear down slower so you won't need to replace it as often! I've heard many great things about the Ortofon 2M Blue!
when i got my turntable it still had the original 30+ year old audio-technica cartridge on it. i replaced the stylus but the sound was very dull and boomy with no highs- I had to crank the treble on my reciever and turn the bass down all the way and it still sounded like a wool blanket was draped over the speakers.
bought an Ortofon 2m red and it sounds great with no inner groove distortion, and I can turn off my EQ:)
I have a Beogram 3000 (Bang and Olufsen) from Denmark. It is from 1984 and with the original stylus and cartridge MMC4. Still sounds like a dream. So I guess it varies a lot. :)
How should I know if mine is clean or not by sound?
You know, a normal magnetic cartridge doesn't really "age." The stylus does though; specially if it's not used the stylus cantilever suspension tends to harden over time since it's usually made of rubber. Playing records tends to keep the suspension pliable but then of course the tip itself wears. I guess it's a lose-lose situation.
edit: I used to run a Shure V15 Type III from the mid 70's and the cartridge itself was absolutely fine. I did replace the stylus though, even if the original did still sound good.
In over twenty years of working on sound systems in clubs I only had one cartridge fail. Considering these were in use 7 days a week and back cued just shows how reliable the magnetic phono cartridge is .
I am unaware of any cantilever ever being made from rubber
I recently inherited an Empire 598 Troubadour. It has an Empire 1000ZE/X cartridge with a Empire stylus on it. I could guess the components are decades old!!
I would like to see if the sound quality improves with a newer cartridge/stylus combo but fear defacing this beautiful turntable with aftermarket components.
I do like the sound quality I hear now but also have nothing to compare it to......
What is your opinion on working on and changing components on vintage turntables?
Could you possibly recommend a cart and stylus for my application?
I enjoy your insight on your videos! Thanks
would having a lid on the turntable make the stylus last longer? mine is a technics from 1985 and i know the stylus has never been replaced but it hasn't been used a lot and has sat with the lid on, untouched for years at a time. It sounds alright to me but I don't really have anything else to compare it to.
Great tips man! Keep up the great work!
+New Record Day Thank you Ron! Thanks for watching man!
Vinyl Eyezz hello, I have a record player that is almost brand new, and it is giving a staticky sound on top of the normal sound that is being produced by the record. Is there any thing I can do to fix this problem?
You should find someone older who has been using records for more than 6 whole months! My damn record player that I bought new is significantly older than he is.
I just put a new needle on the tone arm Jarrett what to do with the counter weight I got it 2.5 grams and it plays great I've set the weight cause a bit of skipping. I played the older vinyl records there is no problem of playing vinyl records. Daniel.
My grandma is still using 1993 stylus on her Sony Hi-Fi. XP
Ask grandma if her hearing is still crisp ... if not replace her hearing (or stylus) (-_-)
I recently broke my hand and the other day I foolishly tried to play a record, I heard a loud noise as the stylus went down in the record and it appeared to be laying almost flat on the record, now the headshell and stylus appear to be sitting slot closer to the record and the sound seems to be poorer than before.. Do you think I should replace the whole headshell or just the stylus?
I replace it when I hear it's time to do it.my grado sounds fine 18 months and my ortofon 2M red 8-12 months .(I have 2 turntables :a very old thorens TD 160 and a recent project debut carbon )
+gregory krzyzanski That sounds good, my Ortofon 2M Red is still working great as well! Nice, Those are both high quality tables!
I am looking to replace my cartridge for a 1200 Technic turntable. Do you have any you recommend?
I have a Audio Technica 120 I replaced the at95 e with a 2M Red I was really shocked that there was not to much improvement high ends were better but base was about the same for a 150 dollar cost its not really worth it next time I will just put the AT 95e back on love your video's keep spinning out the video's
I replaced my needle 2 months ago. The needle has been used for about 14 months and i am not really using the record player daily.
Sometimes, i would play one record a week, sometimes i would play records for 5-6 hours straight on weekends. Beside that, i am also using a stylus cleaner(Audio Technica AT607 "Stylus Cleaning Formula") after nearly every full play of an LP.
That might be one of the reasons, why it took about 12-13 months to sound muddy.
Do you know the album "Misplaced Childhood" by Marillion? This album has got one of the best mixes between bass pedals and bass guitars. Especially the transitions were much smoother with a new needle than with the used one. It was a "WOW", when i first played the album with a new needle! :O
+MrChrodo Nice! Taking care of that stylus through regular cleaning is a great way for it to last a long time! And first listening to a new stylus is amazing every time!
Hey I just bought a dual 1254 turntable and it has a g grado on it, it looks pretty old. what would be a good replacement for it?
Bought my turntable in 2013 but hardly played any records because I lost interest then a couple of months ago I got back into collecting records and started playing a lot of records on a daily basis and I noticed a muddy sound as well as clipping so I bought a replacement stylus and changed it. Now the sound is crisp and awesome. Of course my case doesn't apply to everyone but it just depends on the use of the needle overall
With what do i replace the needle on an old vinyl player like Technics SL-BD22?
My brand new record has flat piano chords and I wasn't sure if it's a problem with the player (only played one record on it before) or the actual record
Great video, thank you so much :D
+fostej99 no problem!
One day the needle dissapeared form my record player and i was like: ow, what happened?? Now that i see the video and look at the needle i see that it broke from the grip, lol!
my turntable needle and headshell like crosley cruiser, can i replace it with audio technica needle and headshell set? i mean like at120lp or whatever resembles it
My stylus tip got stuck in a microfiber rag, I’m not sure if i broke it in half but, stills plays but i can feel bumps, or does the diamond tip is resistant to those accidents,? I just bought the audio technica 120
Hey! I'm new to this world. If the record skips even though it is in excellent conditions, that means my stylus needs replacing? This happens with various albums, not just one.
You should do a review on the ortofon 2m red cartridge because I can not seem to find a detail video of that cartridge!! Thanks
What about for DJing?? What cartridge do you recommend??
The panning on the speaker is going in and out, is that the needles fault or speakers
just one question , how clean are your l p s as gritty l ps will damage your stylus ?
ive never replaced mine. my needle snapped off 6 months ago (thankfully it wasnt playing) I never thought about getting around to it.
Guys, I have an old Philips GP 412 II Cartridge - do I need to replace it or just the needle? Both are original
I have a Grado Blue on my Stanton ST150 and i have had it for a few years. I have not replaced it yet. The stylus isn't a cheap one. I would have to save up for a new stylus. How does the inner-d's of a cartridge break down?
I'm using the same needle from about 10 years ago and even had the needle arm fall down on the turntable several times while the turntable was still spinning. Ugh. But I use my turntable almost daily.
are distorted high frequencies a symptom of a worn needle? I have an old Phase 4 record, no scratches, glossy - but all the highs are sounding like its clipping even at very low volume. Thanks
I bought my turntable used and the guy I bought it from said it needed a new needle, but sounded fine. I've been using the same needle for 5 years and still sounds like the day I got it. The records sound exactly the same.
I'm really into listening to muddy, staticky sounding music. If anyone has any good suggestions for bands to listen to, I'd appreciate it. The more muffled and toneless, the better.
Thanks.
LOL
I got one!

May I suggest playing a roll of tickets, they have grooves and are bound to muffled to the point of unreconizability.
Listen to the caretaker his music is muddy and noisy 1930s esq. music
It's not only the sound, a "bad" needle can make damage to your records even you don't see it clearly. in time it will do damage to your records!
Would any cartridge with same mount work with my turntable
I have an Audio Technica AT95E. It was replaced a few months ago. One time the tracking force got messed with, and I tried to adjust it using a scale that was too big. I bent the cantilever at a very, very slight angle by accident. The sound is no different, but is it time to replace the stylus? Is it putting wear on the records and/or stylus?
Do ellipitical's wear faster than conical?
Hey vinyl! I have a audio technica lap 120 professional turntable what besides the stock needle that comes with it what other one is compatible with the unit? Thanks
I just changed mine, it was the original from 83, Made a HUGE difference.
+vinyl eyezz what if I have an audio technical at-lp60 without a removable needle? Is there a way to change it out?
Hey Jarrett, can you help me out? I am trying to replace my LP120 needle to a ortofon needle without the headshell.
Hey man, Love your videos. I really wanted to start a record collection but didn't know where to start, the don'ts and do's of collecting records til I found your channel. I'm just earning money to buy a turntable, receiver and speakers. Thanks for the videos! Buy more coffee and do more videos!! :)
P.S. Maybe for the next video. Show us how to play a record on a turntable? like. What do you do before and after playing a record? how and where should you put the needle on the record?
+kamoteshake0519 great idea kamoteshake0519! Thank you so much for the coffee! You're the best! Also that's a good idea! I'm definitely going to make a video about my process of playing records on the turntable and hopefully it'll help you get started! More great videos on the way, thank you again for your support! :D
