4:49 that vynil is basically an old timey equivalent of the "dingus aussie man microphone recording test" done on this channel when testing microphone quality
Truth. It was specifically done because with physical turntables it was super easy to do, and then in the land of computer editing it's almost exactly a 35% speedup. It became popular in the early days of youtube as a way around copyright (or more specifically copyright striking bots) because to get it back to normal speed you slowed the sped up music back to 74%. Popular control plugins (even before YT's built in speed control) had 75% speed settings. That 1% was noticeable, IF you knew what to listen for, but as a way to listen to new-ish music without having to spend money it was awesome for figuring out if the price would be worth it.
Just from hearing the snippets in this video I'm kinda hooked already. Downloaded cultasoarus erectus on spotify and I'm gonna check it out in the morning (it's 12 past midnight for me rn) but damn I'm looking forward to checkinh this out, plus that cover art is just so good
Did you forget that Bluetooth's default in pairing mode is that another device can search for and 'capture' the pairing device auto-magically? That was like *the* OG way to use it. This is totally unrelated to the fact that I recently forgot about this...
I actually did not know this was ever a thing. Had some hilarious speaker wars at work though when people forget they've set to automatically pair with someone else's speaker and the other person turns on their speaker in another area.
Important note: These are SUPER useful for auditioning vinyl out in the wild, like at a garage sale, 2nd hand market etc. It's on my wishlist, but def not a daily driver turntable.
Replacing the belts on your turntable is a normal maintenance practice. Thats why the original versions of this turn table are wildly expensive, because its trivial to fix one thats not working.
4:35 I know what this is! This is a comedy record from Billy "The Twelfth Man" Birmingham who does parodies of sports commentators, particularly Channel 9's cricket commentary team! Not sure how well they've aged but they're hilarious.
In 1991, he and his fellow "commentators" put out a song called "Marvellous", featuring backing vocals by artists including Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham and Diesel
I worked in a bottle-o a couple of years ago. Occasionally we'd do specials on wine that were "two for $22". I'd pull out my best Billy Birmingham/Richie Benaud impression saying "tuew for twenty-tuew". Nothing. No reaction except confusion from my co-workers. The older clientele thought it was great.
I’m a young person but my parents introduced me to him when I was 11 and I have some fond memories of driving on a summer roadie and laughing at the jokes I got and being confused by the ones that completely flew over my head
I always wanted to play with one of those laser record players. I want to know how much of the records noise comes through or if they are filtering it (i hope not).
The Sound Burger is a super fun turntable! One thing to note is that apparently you're supposed to use the rubber 45 adaptor doohickey as like a record clamp on top of regular LPs, it helps a bit with the stability since there's not a full size turntable. I got mine from JB and I got one of the yellow ones because it seemed like the most fun colour!
When you pulled out Blue Oyster Cult I was like "Oh, everyone tells me to listen to that album but I never did" You talking over like 8 seconds of them "Alright I'll spin it today that was fuckin cool"
1:22 nah mate, the japanese word for burger is literally “burger” (バーガー). whatever led audio-technica to that name, it surely wasn’t a translation oddity
It's how the thing clamps down and has the disc sticking out the sides like a burger, it was meant to be a novelty product like the sony flamingo so they capitalised on the daft appearance.
I know probably nobody knows what the cricket one was but it is an Aussie legend called The Twelfth man and he was a cricket satire comedian and he was awesome. Although some of his jokes are a bit edgy and of the time, if you enjoy cricket it is a great thing to listen to and is great for long summer roadies
I really enjoy how knowledgeable you are with technical terms really helps me get a sense of the quality. For instance, "kind squishy up top" is the best descriptor I have ever heard. 😆
3:40 fun thing with vinyls you can do now, here in britain we have moved to plastic notes for money (hate the production of plastic for that but hey ho) and you can take the corner of one of those notes and use it as the stylus, and basically turn the thin plastic bank note as a gramaphone and listen to the music like that.
I missed the limited edition rerelease but got the standard black later. Exactly what I need it for, a dedicated simple compact portable record player for dedicated record time. It has a line out (so you'll need an amp or whatever), the USB-C is just for power, but it is simple as. No auto stop, but perfect for my needs otherwise :)
I love records! They're album posters you can listen to. With how tight fisted Spotify are with artists I always pick up a record if I really like the album to support them
The legend is back! Speaking of jankyness, I a watched this entire video on my old CRT monitor from the 90s. It is great to see you back to vinyl! I just got a Project Debut Carbon Evo Turntable and it sounds amazing.
Vinyl is such an experience. Reading the vinyl casez. Havi g all of that info about the band, the reason why they made the album, images, trivia, and so on. Its sooooo good. People knew how to package a product back in the day.
I really wish I could give you money because I’m really really thankful of all the videos that you have been posting for us to watch for these years. Thanks for making a legacy of IPods and turned out to be different type of products. I’ve been watching it since you only had 300,000 subscribers, it’s just so amazing to see how far your account has gone.. keep doing the great work Dank Pods!❤️
'it's fun, if you get real close to it you can actually hear the music being scratched out' i remember the day i realised this and it was cool as fuck. analog music is rad
This came out at the perfect time, a couple months ago I moved house and didn't have space for my full sized turntable anymore. I needed something that could be set at an angle or just have the vinyl floating like this on a shelf. This was perfect and I managed to pick it up a few weeks ago for around 200 on sale. Love it
@@LieseFury i dunno, unless "bone conduction" is just a fancy marketing word and it is not _actual_ bone conduction, I wouldn't trust any commercial product to listen to music that way. Sounds terrifying. One audio "pop" and your auditory cortex gets a serious buggering. Then again, can't be that much more worse than being at, say, a death metal live, or something.
@@GeorgeTsiros "Bone conduction" is similar to sticking your face against the side of a speaker cabinet. The vibration conducts through your facial bones, so even if your ears are plugged (for noise reduction in loud ambient environments, e.g.), or you specifically want to keep your ears open to the outside world, you can still hear the audio.
Audio Technika also licensed the Sound Burger to other companies back in the day. I have one, that's called the Nordmende Dingi RP 200. It was a real pain to find a replacement belt for it, because there was almost no information about it, until I found out that it is also called the Sound Burger.
For me, the joy of vinyl is that it’s inconvenient! Streaming has commodified music to the point that it’s easy to forget how special it actually is. But if I put an album on the turntable, I’m sitting down, and focusing on it. Not skipping to my favourite tracks, just listening to it from start to finish.
5:02 Blue Öyster Cult mentioned!!! I don't have a vinyl of it but I have all of the vinyl replica CDs (Including Cultosaurus Erectur), by far one of my favorite bands of all time!
