My parents had a stack changer record player from the early 70s. The 45 RPM vinyl records needed a yellow adapter on the center to play on those types of turntables. My current SONY turntable comes with it's own 45 RPM adapter. Most of my parents vinyl records still play great with barely or no skips. Most of them are 50 plus old. Some hair like scratches on their vinyl, but still sound & play great overall.
I had a copy of exile on main street that kept getting stuck on the groove on the start of sweet virginia. A guy on RU-vid showed how with a needle or pointed object you can stop the jump. I tried it and it worked. I thought I might have to buy a new record so some big money was saved!!!
Clearly explained and after watching this video I'm thinking of getting a turntable now, I'm currently enjoying my CDs with my blueray player to an external DAC going to my integrated amplifier.
I'm rather new to vinyl and your video was clear and made complete sense to me. I've been looking for a video that actually told me what a preamp did. Thanks!
Hi my turntable is plugged in to the phono on my amp but I'm getting no sound and I've tried plugging it elsewhere and it sounds very low when I play my viynl I've checked my cartridge and that's fine
Sounds like there's a pre-amp missing in the equation. If your amp isn't an integrated amp (one with both a pre-amp and amp built in) you'll need a turntable with one built in (there will be a switch in the back that says LINE or PHONO). Or, you'll need to add a stand-alone pre-amp between the turntable and amp.What model turntable and amp do you have?
@@DeafManVinyl hi thank you for the reply I will let you know the make and model of my equipment as im not at home at the moment I do know my turntable is a kam similar to an audio technica and I have two amps one is a berhinger europower pmh 3000 ? And a technics but the berhinger one of the channels is blown on the berhinger so my friend pluged my speakers in to my technics and also the berhinger in to it but I had to move my stuff around and thats why it's sounding low
I have a Beethoven record album case that holds several records by him, and is cut at the top corner from the opening to the “spine” of the cover, any tips/ help on how to fix it and put it back together nicely ? I can’t find any videos on how to fix it please help
That same trick I show in the video will work on tears in a box. Either seam tape that you wet and apply, or the ones with peel-and-stick adhesive. Just apply it to the inside seam, just as you would with an album cover. Good luck!
I refurbish old turntables and most of the time,a little oil,deoxit and a new belt is all they need.Been using a 1978 Denon Dp-1200 for the past 15 years with zero issues
I have been using the sticker removal method with a heat gun for decades! You have to be careful with laminated covers. There are heat guns with adjustable temperature starting at 50°/60°C. Of course, the vinyl should be removed from the sleeve first!
I was always taught to go with the groove and brush from the outer edge to the center and “follow the groove” to the dead wax inner portion of the vinyl. Less risk of damage
I was always taught to go with the groove and brush from the outer edge to the center and “follow the groove” to the dead wax inner portion of the vinyl.
So I have a Denon AVR -1100 which has a Phono Stage. Problem is it sounds like crap. Can I still hookup a pre-amp between my Denon and turntable? Or maybe once I have a preamp i don't even care about the Phono Stage of my Denon?
So, you can't add another (external) pre-amp on top of the receiver's built-in phono stage. You'll just get a distorted signal. You can however add an external pre-amp and use another input (try plugging it into an unused CD or AUX port). Hope that helps.
The carbon fiber brush just ended up adding bristles onto my records that were a pain to get off, not to mention that I still had the same problem of dust jumping to the other side even with the cleaning mat. Am I doing something wrong?
Man, that brush shouldn't have shed bristles like that. Are you maybe pressing down too hard with it? As for the jumping dust, if the record is to the edge of the mat and the mat is hanging slightly out over empty space (e.g, the edge of a counter or table), the dust should be falling off there. Hope that helps.
Really depends on the quality of the record and the pressing (an early or first pressing is usually going to be worth more than a current pressing). A good way to check is to go onto www.discogs.com and see what similar versions are selling for. Good luck!
You can try soaking the affected part of the record in some warm water, maybe even with a drop or two of Dawn dishwashing soap. Then, gently rub the sleeve util it starts to loosen. Record can take a bath like that with no harm.

@deafmanvinyl what preamp are you using in this video?
IHi,just subscribed, I"m 70 yrs young and have about 800 albums mostls 70s rock, i've had a rough time the last years Inever thought i'd ever get rid of them ,but that time has come. Most about 80% of them are in pristine condition,my equipment was always top of the line,I don't want to gouge anybody but then i don"t want to give them away ! If you have any hook ups on any interest,that would really help.
Hey Luis. Sorry to be so late getting back to you. I was out of the country for a while and still catching up. I'd be interested in seeing what you've got, if you're ready to sell (I know it's a tough decision). A few pics or a short video of you flipping through a stack would help me get my head around what you've got. If we can work out a price, I'll send you some pre-paid labels for shipping. Just let me know!
OOh...that Introducing The Beatles is counterfeit -- the rainbow band doesn't have green, and the spindle hole separates the title and artist listings!
additional insight : when using cleaning solution with a spray, especially if you're generous with it like in the video, don't do it too quick and aim away from the central label. some central labels can tolerate cleaning solution just fine, but only some... others will be harmed, and even a careful swipe of the microfiber cloth might damage it if it comes too close and touches the wet label, causing little pieces of its paper to curl up and the label will look less "clean" and new. I personally care more about the music than anything else, but it did happen to me, and it was still a frustrating experience I'd not recommend !
One thing I can't really find guidance on is corner dings. I have some records that have almost imperceptible corner dings as their only flaws, and they aren't something you notice without really examining. Goldmine says NM "covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind" - but say nothing about corner dings. How big does a corner ding have to be to be relevant?
I have the same Audio tech TT and a yamaha rx-v800 with a phono jack, but when i play a album, i have to crank up the volume . is this normal with this model? I never had a issue with my other yamaha receiver
Dude! Dude!! I have the exact same turntable and a YAMAHA RX-A880. I've been buying old vinyl at garage sales and some of them are really low, I have to crank the volume to get it bump a bit. When I play "Sada" from around 1988 it comes out with a little less gain. I thought maybe this was normal from back in the day, but you educated me on the truth. I guess I'll start my cheap preamps preamps search again. Great video👍🏾👍🏾
I used a Technics SL used direct drive automatic turntable for few years but it started giving trouble initially with auto system and finally I bought audio-technica AT LP120USB in 2016 which is very good for 350 dollar. Monirul Islam Dhaka, Bangladesh. 05 May 2024
I have a Garrard DD75 and I've repaired it 5 times and I have to fiddle with it almost every time I use it but I love that thing, it sounds good and looks good. You can't go wrong with Technics direct drive units.
I'm watching this tonight 4/28/24. One thing I have never seen on a vinyl show is the Alice Cooper goes to hell album and yet there it was on your display. Love it, and good job on this video.
