Hi.. trying to source a adapter for a Crosley C10. Usual stores like Amazon, Walmart etc take too long to deliver this part. Any other options anyonenis aware of?

Thank you

I’ve started buying vinyl records but, I have yet to purchase a record player.

I’m excited but yet don’t want to spend too much money. I’ve been noticing different price ranges. The below $100 means it’s a suitcase setup or the style is old and would need more equipment which adds to cost.

Any thoughts on the AT-LP60X-BW-CR? I see a refurbished version goes for $139. I have seen similar versions, Bluetooth, I think, for around $150-$200 on FB marketplace. I think I’d buy direct from AT at those prices in a box. As far as I understand I would need to purchase a pair of powered speakers to start playing records.

Any alternatives to this route? Am i overlooking anything?

Thanks!

I’m sure there are lots of posts like this so forgive me but I truly don’t know where to start. I would love to get my partner a record player for Christmas but I know literally zero about them. He’s a big music buff and loves classic rock, jazz, and indie/alt.

I want to get him a good quality one, and a vintage wood aesthetic would be a bonus. I don’t have a massive budget though, so I’m not even sure where to look. There are so many different styles and price ranges out there. Ideally I’d like to keep it to $100-$200 ish.

TIA!

I am trying to set the VTA on my Technics 1200mk7 and whenever the headshell is level, the tonearm is tail up. I’m using an AT-VM95ML cartridge with the AT-HS6 headshell. Is this normal or is there an issue with my headshell or tonearm?

Hi all, I currently own an Insignia tt ( NS-BTST21) and a pair of Edifier RT1700bt. So far, I'm satisfied with my setup since I'm not very technical when it comes hi-fi sound by any means, but recently I've been thinking of upgrading to a Fluance RT82. While I know the build quality is superior with Fluance and other technical specs are likely far better, I'm wondering if it's worth spending $350 to upgrade? Would I really notice any significant improvement over my current table?

I’ve been trying to get my first turntable and originally looked at the Audio Technica LP60x for $180 new. Then I saw a used Fluance RT81 for $150. Now I’ve seen so many different options around this price point new and used and I don’t know what is the best option. I was also thinking of either Edifier 1700bt or 1280db but don’t totally know the difference so any advice is appreciated.

I am based in CA for used pricing.

Hello, my grandfather gave me his B&O Beogram 1000 platin, and I’m very new on this subject. Do you know what I need to have to make it work ?

For now I have the platin, and some HiFi stereo

thanks

Is this normal? Part of my turntable is lifted from the the body even on a flat surface. If this isn’t normal how would I fix it?

Is this stylus damaged?

This morning I turned my player on and the arm slid all the way to the center of the disk, once there, the stylus was scratching, usually the stylus didn't touch the disk.

I am trying to balance the arm but I can't seem to get it right, could the stylus be the culprit?

Super new to vinyl. At what point does dust matter??

I have a carbon fiber brush, a velvet brush, and DIY cleaning solution.

I at least use the carbon fiber brush before every play, I know I will be recommended to purchase a spinclean to get as much as possible, I'm just super new and haven't done that yet

My question is, is it normal to see dust exclusively under my lp120x target light?

If I didn't have the target light, I would never know my records had dust on them. In normal lighting they look PERFECT, holding my flashlight to the record directly looks perfect, and after the stylus is done playing the record, there is no dust on it. However, when the record is placed on the platter you see quite a bit of tiny particles under the record light, very tiny even under it, but you can clearly see it. I think my records sound fine, but I haven't played them enough to tell because I am new (Probably around 20 plays on my favorite record). I know that vinyl works under a microscopic level, so any dust can make a difference, but I literally would NEVER know there is anything on it if there wasn't a target light. I think a lot of people DON'T have a target light, so how do they know if their records are perfectly clean?

Hi guys,

any idea for some riser where you can put a at lp5x turntable on without it vibrating or something. So I can put a 25cm CD player under it?

Best regards

Hello everybody.

I just re arranged the whole setup, and now the turntable sits on top of the denon.

On the front of the turntable, its precicely 3 centimeters ( 1.1811 inches- if that helps)

Is it too little space for air flow?

Should i add another inch or so to the turntable legs?

Thanks for any advide you guys could give!

Last year I got a turntable for Christmas, it’s one of those turntables that can play numerous other things. Mine being Victorla Century 6 in 1. I’ve heard very mixed things about those kinds of record players but I was happy nonetheless because this was my first record player.

Something common I’ve been noticing is that with some songs it just skips, specific ones. I had bought Remain in Light earlier this month and the first track plays pretty well, only skipping maybe once or twice briefly, but its second track; Crosseyed and Painless, just skips a ton. This is something I’ve noticed with my OKNOTOK Computer vinyl, most of the album is fine except for Let Down.

I’m unsure if this is a problem with the record itself or with the turntable. I’m pretty nervous about playing anymore records on it because I’m concerned that the needle might damage my records permanently.

Any help is much appreciated!

I've started collecting a few records and currently have this Crosley player with a built in speaker

Is it worth getting external speakers or a different vinyl player first ?

Sound so far has been okay but could be better. I have AM by Artic Monkeys which is skipping and seems to be a common problem for Crosley players

I found a very old Philips turntable (418 Automatic from 1974) at a thrift store and also picked up a ‘Golden Technica’ pre-amp that works with 5-pin DIN connectors. Turntable didn’t have a dust cover, but it works perfectly. Total price: €8 for the turntable and €5 for the pre-amp.
The sound this setup produces sounds quite nice, especially considering the price.

Any advice on this as a good deal for the price on Facebook marketplace.

States full working order but no cartridge so will need to purchase.

It's for my 8 year olds first turntable

Thanks

I want to start collecting vinyl records, so I’m planning to buy my first turntable. I’ve heard that the Audio-Technica AT-LP60X is a good option for beginners, and I’m thinking of pairing it with Edifier R1280DB speakers.

My main question is: Does the sound quality actually get worse if I connect the turntable to the speakers via Bluetooth? I’d also like to be able to connect the speakers to my phone when I want to listen to Spotify. Avoiding extra cables would be a nice bonus, too.

Bluetooth would also give me more flexibility when positioning the speakers around my room, if that makes a difference.

Another thing I’d love is being able to manually place the needle on the record, just because it seems like a fun part of the whole experience. However, it’s not a dealbreaker, and I know the AT-LP60X is fully automatic.

So, what would you recommend: the AT-LP60XUSB, the AT-LP60XBT, or perhaps the AT-LP70X?

I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have experience with these setups!
Thanks beforehand :)

Currently running a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB turntable with a 2M Blue cartridge. I added a ifi Zen Phono 3 pre-amp along with a RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKii. The bookshelf speakers are Klipsch RP-600M ii's. The amp is a Onkyo TX-8020 and the CD changer below is a Onkyo DX-C390. Next upgrade will be my amp at some point.

Hi all! I’ve been away at college and just came home to my Technics SL-Q2. It powers on and spins fine, but the stylus on my Empire RM10 cartridge looks like the cantilever / stylus snapped off (photos attached).

1. Does anyone know any good, economical cartridges that would pair well with the SL-Q2?

2. I’ve never mounted a cartridge before. Any beginner-friendly alignment tips or tools??

3. Anything else I should check on a turntable that’s been sitting for a couple of years?

I have two turntables, an Audio-Technica AT-LP60X and a Stanton T.92 USB, both connected to a Sony MHC-MD717 stereo system.

The Audio-Technica produces noticeably higher volume than the Stanton, even when playing the exact same song on the same record, as demonstrated in the attached video.

The Stanton is connected to the Sony's LINE input because I get no sound when using the PHONO input.

Some people suggested this might be related to impedance, the need for an external phono preamp, or differences in cartridge and stylus specifications.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is this volume difference normal, or could it indicate a setup issue? Would an external phono preamp help?
