Amazon Record Player is Surprisingly Good  

@wowVJ You should upgrade to an Audio Technica LP60X or LP60XBT it's a better quality record player because the one you're using will ruin your records

@@lauracorbett4577what’s the difference between x and xbt? Sorry, I know nothing of record players lol

What record is this?

⁠@@lauracorbett4577Not really, you just have to make sure to not play your vinyls too much and change the needle once in a while. Still if you can upgrade to something better then yeah go ahead

I cant acces the link

If the record works I see no problem I like how records have crackles

​@DaveMiller741 not really the issue, more so how the record is poorly built with basically all plastic, the record is played at a slightly different speed, the tracking force is really wearing on the records meaning they're not going to last very long and it more than likely has a sapphire stylus which makes the record sound way worse. These mechanisms aren't horrible and can actually sound decent, but do have all of the above issues, I would recommend maybe getting a replacement stylus of a higher grade for starters.

I’m no audiophile. And I don’t think I’ll ever be convinced records can sound objectively better than a high quality digital recording, but even I can tell this thing is just TOO cheap.

@@DaveMiller741 the low quality speakers are even worse in person. The needle often damages records over time due to low quality materials used and lack of a fully supported platter beneath records adds to the issue making the needle dig worse on the outside of.the record (first few songs ware out fast). Also even on thrift shop cheap vinyls, had one stop working after a few months the electornics just all shorted out despite being plugged into a surge protector. Turned it on one final day and made a crackle pop and slight boom while light dimly died to never turn back on again😅 ymmv

@@jackgreenstalk777 you are absolutely correct. I have a Victrola record player that I have replaced the needle on. The original needle sounds SO much better and was amazing. Now that I have changed the needle to a cheap one, it sounds horrible.

it good

@@privateinvestor. Yep! You're right! It's good at accelerating how fast your records wear out 😁👍

I'm pretty sure this mech is even older than that. When I was a kid, say 10 years old or so, I had a cheap all in one stereo tower with analog tuner, double casette deck and on top of it sat a record player with this exact mechanism. I'm 46 now...

How

@@Official-DB, plastic parts. Clumsy tonearm, unwanted resonances. Heavy tracking force. Cheap, poorly polished sapphire stylus. Absolute kill of joy and waste of money.

@@NiiOnLood ok

@@djkal-c yeah I’ve stopped playing my records on it as I’m waiting to get a Sony one

@@NiiOnLoodlooks like… kids turntable 😅

I think many of us did the same 😅 good ones are worth it. Can't stand tinny crappy speakers built in and knowing its damaging nice vinyl that would otherwise be great for lifetimes to come

I bought the Audio Technica LP60. For the quality of the player it's worth the price. Definitely great if you are just getting into vinyl.

Its the pokemon gold opening song

Why tf not

@@arkea8338 that's sad

Yes, they could! Even among all these cheap record players there are some worse than others 😂

Nah there’s ones way worse than this

Nah there’s some way worse than this

it does that in order to dampen vibration. haven't seen this on a more serious player but it actually isn't stupid

It’s a dampening mechanism, most turntables have it in the feet, this has it in the mechanism for cost cutting.

I recently got the AT-LP60 definitely worth it for the price.

no?

@@ifthesewallscouldtalktheyp7692it can poke the record

​@@ifthesewallscouldtalktheyp7692yes

It doesn't matter

Journey to jhoto

pokemon gold opening theme

⁠thank you!

For good reason, mind you.

@@NateCraven318 Agreed. It's misleading to people who don't know any better. I find it funny that people are mocking and scoffing at real audio enthusiast who know what they're actually talking about.

I’m an audiophile and I have both high quality and what’s considered low quality for record players, but I actually really enjoy both of them. The sound on my nice one is super accurate, clean, and hifi, while my other record player some consider to be garbage. I actually really enjoy the tone and the warmth that it brings, and the little mistakes and quirks makes it enjoyable.

@@soyboy_yt7329is it a Crosley?

If you have nice vinyl that you started collecting as a teenager then you want to play them on a decent turntable. Doesn't have to be that expensive though.

Couldn’t you just buy replacement ones tho?

@@emotionaldistress No. These low-end players aren't worth the time and effort to replace the tonearm. Just waltz into your local hi-fi shop, slap down at least $400 to get a "real turntable" and good tonearm. It's pretty simple and worth the money.

Dosent cause damage fact

@@themadcoachman Yes it does cause damage. Those tone arms track at about five or more grams. My current tone arm tracks at 1.5 grams.

​@@n.miller907 that's even worse!

I totally agree. I have a similar lower end player, no damage or anything, plays just fine!

@dajosh432 there's a reason why we moved to cds and streaming

@dajosh432 the cartridge is red, the needle isn’t.

Really no excuse when Audio Technica makes decent entry level turntables, like the LP60.

yes

That and probably crazy needle pressure, skip those machines. They're junk.

How many listens to an album with this would damage it permanently do you think?

vwestlife said about 50 plays I think until you notice@@Bookable_

Which are the good needles?

Insignia, A Best Buy Brand? Bruh get a Technics or a Sony at least

😂

@@Josianne-Music ?

@@user-iz6vi2rk5y I agree 😬😅

@@user-iz6vi2rk5ywhats wrong with that record player?

@@hakai1014 It has a piezo needle that's made frow low quality crystals and it destroys your records.

nice pfp

It will warp and damage them having a small platter, a good player would still wear them out but after a considerably higher number of plays

​@@EmberTheFoxyFoxYou can play a CD 1 million times and the millionth play will sound as good as the first play. Records should have stayed in your Great Great Granny's attic.

@@jerryspann8713 Records have a completely different sound signature and are fun to play, It's CDs that should be scrapped

@@jerryspann8713 you’ve obviously never heard vinyl at a club or show. NOTHING replicates the sound of vinyl, digital is like wearing a condom during sex.

​@mygraine there is no difference between the two

im sorry

What are you sorry for?

RIP to your albums

@@aaronmartinez5029 yeah I’m getting a new one soon and I’m not gonna play my records until I get the new one

bro i'm now regret buying kind of this cheap record player it ruined my record and the sound is sucks too if u guys really want to enjoy vinyl u should buy a high end record player first

Because it will ruin the vinyl.

​@@MoltenHeliumno it wont. as long as you take care of them.

No it isn't, because for the price of most of these, you're better off buying a used Audio Technica LP60. Use your brain

@@theantiquescollector2199you are literally lying and spreading misinformation. These cheap dogshit record players with ceramic cartridges have much higher tracking forces than moving magnet record players, meaning your records will wear down faster.

They all Haters 😂 everyone is a pro when it comes to RU-vid comments fr fr

mine has everything except built in speakers so thanks for wishing me a great vinyl

Luckily my turntable has a fair price and doesn't have any of those things

@@torna2508 that's the best thing I could hear

“Run”?? 💀

To be fair that is something people need to be aware of before getting into collecting records. The initial setup isn’t going to be cheap and that should be the first thing you put all your money on.

You're speaking crap, mate. You're quite able to get adequate second-hand turntables which boast a counterweight and an anti-skate feature for the exact same prices as the Chineese model demonstrated. I'm well aware you'd require an amp and alike speakers.

Yes, but Audio Technica AT-LP5X is besser for the price and has a good cartridge...

@@fanclub670 it’s too late now :( But planning to change cartridge soon :) Thank you !

so are you telling me that my IQual vinyl record player is trash? :sob:

@@IAmCyklus.😂

Whats wrong with this one

​@@hakai1014Are you aware the actual mechanism (If you're able to call it that) is a rapidly reproduced cheap chineese mechanism utilised in these turntables which costs the manufacture peanuts to make. These types of turntables boast a ceramic cartridge; feature no counterweight, anti-skate, or alike any quality turntable components. I'd adverse you from purchasing one of these crappy turntables.

This is The cheapest type you can get If you enjoy vinyls I would recommend getting a better one in 1-2 years because I know from personal experiense that these are crap

Enjoy your new player! Vinyl is something I love to collect and I hope you find a passion for it. If this becomes a hobby or passion consider upgrading to a Fluance or Audio Technica turntable as these are widely considered to be some of the best beginner to intermediate turntables. These will help your records last longer and stay in great shape. Happy spinning!

The ceramic cartridge tracks at 5-6 g dosent damage records

​@@themadcoachman, doesn't to immediate damage but wears grooves pretty quickly, erasing higher frequencies. No precious records should be played on these.

yes 😇
