SOUND BURGER & the clones 

Review of the *NEW 2022 Sound Burger* - is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b48XD9P8klM.html

"The Sound Crocodile doesn't exist." My disappointment is immeasurable.

I used to play bass for Sound Burger & The Clones.

8:33 a "headphone out." What a remarkable invention! I wonder when our smartphone makers will put this brilliant invention on our phones!

A counterfeit Crosley? That's like pretending to be the guys who pretended to sing in Milli Vanilli.

Sound Burger and The Clones is a great name for a band

Crosley is an old Welsh word that means "Soon to be found on the shelf at Goodwill."

17:11 It's nice to know that Crosleys come with a built in bass synthesizer!

"It's almost as though someone with a very vague memory of the Sound Burger from their childhood had rung up a factory to try and get it manufactured again and tried to describe it to them over the phone but unfortunately the two people spoke different languages and the phone line was very crackly, but the factory decided to press on anyway despite the fact the first chap had got the wrong number and actually rung up a factory that only ever made shoes before." ~Techmoan, 2018

I think the Sound Burger looks great in yellow, so 80's!

That crossley plays dubstep without any records.

Your channel really got me into record players, and I finally purchased a Victrola unit and some records. Couldn't be happier with my new hobby, thank you! 😊

Actually, interesting story about my Sound Burger. When it was given to me, I thought I should change the stylus. So I took it to the only shop where I lived that I felt could sell me what I needed. I felt I had to be really apologetic because, as you said in your video, it looks like a toy. The shop sold high end HiFi equipment. I had been in there before to buy other things, but you got the feeling that the guys running the shop were capable of being very dismissing about anything that didn’t reach their standards. So I said something like “really sorry to bring this in, but I’d like stylus so I can try it out”. Their reaction was overwhelmingly positive. They told me that it was made by a company that was very well known for its turntables, and in fact it was very good in its own right. They even thanked me for brining it in as they had never seen one in the wild before. They sold me a stylus, and it did indeed work, but as I said in my other post, the pots are knackered. So I put it away. One day, I told myself, I’ll get it working properly again. I feel that I really should now. So, thanks for posting the links for the drive belts - mine needs a new set as well. I may have to get it a new stylus too, just to be sure - no rubber support with mine, so the stylus has been resting on the turntable for a very long time.

"to prevent people from suing them after trying to eat it." As an American... yeah, you right.

I still want the Sound Crocodile and the Sound Coffee Cup :-(

The speed calibration disc just fascinates me. I never knew it existed.

I'm glad you showed comparisons to how much it cost relative to other products from the same time period. I hate when people just show how much it would cost in today's money because it's not 100% accurate. Showing comparisons instead is a much more accurate and relatable way to do it.

The record played at 10:57 18:03 & 18:42 is Hugh Masekela ‎- Tomorrow Info below copied from *Video Description Text Box* CORRECTIONS Substitute the word "Tally" with the word "Tare" in the section when I measure the tracking force on the green garbage turntable. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION There were two Crosley revolutions, the CR6002A and the CR6020A The one in this video is supposed to be the CR6020A SPARES Stylus www.stylusplus.co.uk/audio-technica-atn-103-stylus-3810-p.asp Belts www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audio-Technica-AT-727-Sound-Burger-Belt-Kit-2-Belts/331723247125 Strobe Discs Search for Strobe Disc on eBay (or your preferred shopping platform) - mine is made by Pro-Ject and has 50Hz on the outer rings - models are also available with 60Hz on the outer rings.

Great video as always. The misspellings are on my player, too.

Audio-Technica have re-released the Sound Burger for their 60th anniversary, updated with Bluetooth and USB-C! You should get one and do an old-vs-new comparison video!

9:57 there is an additional function for the rubber holder: it's used to hold the tone arm into place when replacing the stylus: you have to place the record player upside down on the table and let the tone arm rest on it, and you can replace the stylus.

Your videos are consistently fantastic. This one is no exception.

I had a red Sound Burger in 1983 for a birthday and always loved it. Thanks for sharing this.

As always your videos are a pleasure to watch. You sir, set the standard for all RU-vidrs to aspire to.

I love the videos done by this man, so informative and detailed. Fantastic

I have had the red AT727 since 1993, when I bought it used, and it still sounds and works brilliantly! Yes, I sometimes take this with me not just to record-fairs, but record shoppes, also. It's nice to see this video for future referring on replacing the belts...many thanks for sharing!!

Hey Mat, bought a Sound Burger out of Portugal, replaced the belts and stylus and I couldn’t be any happier with the results. I love you and the channel. Keep up the good work! On the cusp of pulling the trigger on an PS-F5(9)!!!

Your reviews are extremely helpful thank you for the effort and time you put into your videos.

Somehow the cheap-aesthetic of the original speaks to me, it gives it a character :) Lovely turntable! Also, I'm really missing the puppets, but I'll wait patiently!

As always, great video from you. Every video you upload is as good as the last one. 👍🏻👍🏻

Love the video. I have 3 sound burgers but they are all needing work done on them now and that is why I visited this page, most helpful.

Thanks for your time and effort. I appreciate your videos and enjoy watching them.

The turning being too fast might be down to the fact that the batteries are new and better than the average stuff that was available back then. I'm sure the speed will normalize as the batteries get drained a bit.

7:56 i have solved that issue on my Mister Disc: by replacing Resistor R402 3.3 Kohm with a 3.9 Kohm.

I didn’t know Hugh Masekela and I’m starting to love this record from hearing bits on your videos.

Lovely video Mat plus the fact that you have cleared up a mystery for me. Back in 1978 in Abu Dhabi, my father had a Technics turntable with a little window that displayed these strange red dots that appeared to move. Well, now I know, they perform the same function as your white disc with the bars. Cheers mate.

"one day i played black sabbath on 78 speed man" "and then what did you see?" "I saw God"

I don't think it's a knockoff, it's just crap.

You’re ending credits is so satisfying to watch!

After watching your excellent video I replaced the belts on my original Sound Burger which I've had since the 90's mainly unused and decided to sell it and got £290 for it on that well known auction site....... many thanks.........

Good video mate. Back in the day I worked for a hi-fi shop in Scotland & we got about 20 of these in from the AT rep. I was there for about 18 months and I'm pretty sure we didn't move any at all. It did sound pretty good though with half-decent headphones.

The Soundburger (not Crosley) is pretty good, but then it's made by Audio Technica, so they have a reputation to uphold.

Dear Mr Techmoan... I love all your videos with all depth, rant and funny skits. I often click your links to other people in various vides. In this case the Vwestlife channel... While his video was great in content... bloody hell the poor sound. You stand out, way out, in all aspects content, proper lighting and sound. All my thumbs up and thanks for everything.

Man I love these videos. So indepth and comparing them makes for some great perspective.

Crosley: Dedicated to killing the vinyl revival, one piece of junk at a time.

Crosley, destroying one potentially good idea after another.

Thank you for introducing me to that Hugh Masekela album. Never heard any of his tunes before but I like the sound.

This has and always will be one of my favorite channels

It’s crazy to me how long Audio Technica has existed for. I really thought they only did microphones and started up with in the past 15 years or so.

If I rebooted this design, I’d call it the Soundwich 😉

Really cool! When I was a young stud cruising the mean streets of our little village, my cousin was looking for a way to play the music we wanted to hear as we drove around. Well he did find a battery operated record player, and we put that in the front seat between us in his 1955 Mercury, and we cruised. Only problem, the streets were rough and that Merc was a smooth ride, but not smooth enough for a record player. We gave up after two nights of ah shits. Ten years later I bought my first in car cassette player, I ordered it from the PACEX catalog while I was in Vietnam, and it was waiting for me when I got home but that's a whole different story.

Utterly fascinating video. Funny that I don't have the slightest recollection of the "Sound Burger." Three and a half decades later I learn about something that I had no idea existed back in the day.

I don't know how you managed it, but that _is_ a knock-off Crosley! (Who thought _that_ was a brilliant idea?) I have one of the first generation Crosley Revolutions (the CR6002A,) and while not perfect... and not something I'd play NM records on, it's a fun little thing to take to parties with a box of beater records, or to record fairs for a quick listen.

Funny someone thought of the headphone cable holder, but not a threaded hole to store the tonearm lock screw! But added in the instructions to keep it in a safe place from getting lost.

Great presentation, editing and information as usual.

Thanks for introducing me to Hugh Masekela!!!

"take a look at a Crosley" NO PLEASE MY EYES MY EEEYYYEEEESSSSSS

This was a very interesting and informative video about this turn table and now I’m interested.

I have zero interest in record players or pasta makers or half of the stuff you review but I will always watch a new video by you. It's just well presented entertainment and information I otherwise wouldn't have had. I just love you channel.

Great little video on the history of these portable players

Sound Burger & The Clones is my new band name, thanks!

Will the muppetts ever make a return to the end of your videos? I miss them. You make excellent videos. Please keep it up. :D

Um.....the yellow is the best color by far! Thanks for continuing to try the crazy stuff!!

615K SUBSCRIBERS CONGRATZ MATT !!! This has really taken off. CHEERS M8

He may have his playlist set for hours, but I can guaranty his butt will not last that long sitting on a cement step in what looks like a high traffic area.

It's lunch time, I saw "Burger" and immediately clicked.

Thanks for the Retromash link, that place is a goldmine for an 80's kid :D

The Sound Burger looks like a nice piece of kit, i like the colour on your example too.

10:57 song is Hugh Masekela - Bird On The Wing (skip to 1:19 of the song)

10:57 Bird On The Wing by Hugh Masekela

my grandfather would have loved your channel!

I love your theory about the manufacturing process behind the Crosley.

Why would anyone fake a Crosley? That would be like having a chop shop but only stealing Yugos.

Now I'm gonna wait for the review for the announced 2022 re-release of the Sound Burger (now with Bluetooth, still no lettuce tho)

Here at exactly 1 mil subs, Congrats!

I had the original Mister disc in Purpke in mint shape that I won on eBay around 2010 for under $100. I was the only bidder and back in 2010, not many even knew about this machine and the vinyl craze had not happened yet. Sadly it got stolen about 6 years ago from my storage and I loved that thing, even just looking at it and not using for it. I’m very visual and love the 70’s and 80’s and for me ot was like looking at art and made me feel how I felt in the 70’s and 80’s, So I was so happy to find out these are back bc I don’t have the budget to get another original bc they’ve gone up 4 to 5 times what I paid 13 years ago. I actually was pricing some audio technica cartridges when this burger unit came in the feed with the cartridges. So I’m def getting one and I love all the vintage Japanese gadgets from the 70’s and 80’s. I need to find a book with all of the vintage Japanese gadgets, so I can just look at them and be more educated on what was out back then.

That incredible music at 10:57 is Hugh Maselkela - Tomorrow. Funky little machine, I quite like it, personally I don't have much space to get a big hifi or something in my room. This little thing would be perfect for me, because its small enough to easily store away until needed. Shame about the modern remake being shit, although you suspect it may be a copy I doubt it is, I just don't believe modern remakes of anything can hold a candle to their old machine.

Will the puppets ever return? 😔

And now ATH just announced a re-release of this yesterday! Quite excited for the new one.

wow that was really cool. id love to have one. i really like the older tech. i still have a few turntables that cover various stages of design but never quite seen anything like that. great video.

That Hugh Masakela album...wew lad.

The title of this video would have been a great name for a new-wave band in the early 80's.

Great topic and well done! I have the earlier Crosley version with the mag cartridge and FM modulator. It still tracks at 3.46g and had some bad wow at 45rpm.

Great quality video, clear and informative, thanks.

That crosley has more background noise than my old idler drive BSR turntable!

“POWER CONSUMPTIOM”

My first record player was this giant cabinet one that had a storage area and speakers, was like the size of a dresser almost. Loved the thing.

My Sound Burger somehow has a tab of the transparent plastic top shell sticking out and I have no idea how to put it back (without snapping something). It also needs a polish of the lid somehow to get rid of some surface scratches. Seeing this great video has reminded me I have to go restore mine somehow. It's a lovely thing

they should have made the sound crocodile

The sound burger sounds delicious.

Ever since I discovered your channel a week or so ago, I've been binge watching. I *will* hold you responsible if my relationship goes to pot.

Thank you for all you do! Love this stuff.

I don’t know why they renamed this in the us, “sound burger” really would have appealed to the populace

whats the song @18:43 ?

The Sound Burger looks to be a neat device. Thanks for the video :-)

Love the title of this one. Sound Burger and the Clones sounds like a gleefully campy 80s movie.

Song name at 10:57 ? It really had me grooving

17:56-18:04 the sound of vinyl being sanded down

Thank you very much for this review, now I'm looking for "Masekela" records :)

Please put some Radiograms and audio amplifier collection on this channel if possible. Thank you for your splendid video series. So much to learn... Compact yet vivid information about my most favourite subject....You are a learned person, a scholar on this subject. In India we call 'a Guru' - the Master. I feel lucky that I am watching your channel. It's fantastic. Please enlighten us more...!
