The amazing Mykesonic fully automatic record player 

Lol 😅

Can't beat a cassette . I love em !!

LOL ... I dont think this is happening. Well by late 80s precision was mostly dominated by the quality of the motor. Proof of that are all the Yamaha and JVC deck with plastic flywheel able to maintain W&F better than 0.8. Motors got so perfect that they could deliver "constant torque" over a certain range. But, as they are not enterely closed loop circuits, they suffer from ageing. This is the second part they got perfected. Unfortunatly the 3 or 4 well known brand that have been manufacturing this motors for tape decks, are not longer producing them. Also, people interested on trying it again should take notes on simple mechanisms that were still low W&F, long life and just a bit more complicated than the average cheap tamashin thing, The ones used y JVC Hitachi Fisher on the bottom line soft touch decks. I think this is good enough to selll the ilusion of a "cassette come back"

@38911bytefree interesting. Thanks. Do you think its worth the hassle & or investment?

Yes. Absolutely.

Agreed lol. Content. I just saved it on my wishlist, lot more than $100 for non Prime users. Now to find records...😅

@@ShazeemKhan If there's a Goodwill store near you, they're great places to find records. The prices are so low on them that they're practically free, and there's always such a weird mix of genres. I'd recommend looking at the different ways of cleaning records though, as used ones can be pretty dusty, and can be hard on a stylus.

@SensitiveFernn thanks so much for the recommendation, mate but I live in the Caribbean so no goodwill here, unfortunately, I guess I'll have too see if there's any local / individual sellers here

​@@ShazeemKhan half price books is usually better than good well, but also check the used sections at your local record shop if you got one.

Ahhh I see the Caribbean, nice maybe there is a record store.

I got a sound burger earlier this year and enjoyed using it and a Panasonic boombox at several out door parties. But this thing is pretty damn cool too.

Ive got the soundburger its a good TT

I have the soundburger, it's good but I'm clumsy and really lack an automatic arm mechanism, scratched some vinyls already 😞

I just wished those suitcase record players had the quality of this one. "Audiophiles" are just going to praise any record player with a cheap looking lid over the suitcase style record players.

Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Mate!

eBay can be your friend! I had to have that Command Stereo Check Out LP..... and eBay accommodated me!😊

I KNOW RIGHT

Not on amazon, certainly.

Agree. I would be very tempted to buy this if it was available in the UK. It can be ordered from Amazon US, but shipping to the UK is $44, and I’m not sure if the included power supply is universal voltage.

Me parece que sí, totalmente

Just add 40$ and buy lp60x

Sono di Torino e tu di dove sei e così figo sentire un video di uno RU-vidr americano che fa sentire audio italiani

@@Andrewtech114 ciao , sono di Milano io!!! , è tanto che segui vwestlife? Per me è stato il primo RU-vidr straniero alla quale mi sono iscritto nel lontano 2011/2mi sembra (ora praticamente seguo solo youtuber che parlano inglese )

Yes I agree, a full size platter would be a good improvement, and they can also remove internal speakers in order to optimize the production cost and put the effort on a better cabinet.

Pretty unlikely that a pair of tiny 3" full-range speakers can sound "spectacular". Go listen to a good stereo in a high-end store some time to calibrate what constitutes a spectacle.

@@richarda3659, don't be boringly rigid and 100% literal, Richard. They're spectacular compared to all other suitcase speakers I've ever heard and when listening to this video with my Sony SS-CS5's (or my Bowers & Wilkins speakers, etc.), I was genuinely impressed by just how great those suitcase speakers sounded and naturally, using external speakers will greatly improve the sound. Perhaps "spectacular" is a bit of an exaggeration, but I could listen to those suitcase speakers for hours with no fatigue issues (with no urge at all to chuck the player in the garbage or take a baseball bat to it) and I can't say that about standard tinny or anemic-sounding suitcase speakers out there. :)

@@richarda3659, as a GenX, I wasn't born yesterday, Richard, and I've got lots of great-sounding vintage and new audio equipment, thanks, so I don't need your snarky audiophile tone. If you feel the need to state the obvious that higher-end audio equipment sounds better, then you've missed the point of VWestlife's video that this is an exciting record player option with much-improved sound and features for entry-level vinyl record hobbyists or as an extra small system for an office, cottage, etc. to have enjoyable sound at an affordable price.

@@richarda3659Oh, put a sock in it.

Being British I missed the Gettysburg reference there and just accepted that you were surprisingly old, being a child 87 years ago!

Very little “airing of grievances” in the review, plus no tinsel, “I find in distracting”. Time to get out the pole and celebrate. The At3600l can be a very acceptable cartridge, shocking what you get for $100.00. This would be a wise choice for a beginner into vinyl, or those that inherit a bunch of records but nothing to play them on.

I suspect it is easier. Motors used to be expensive, which is why they wanted to drive everything off of one motor. But they aren't expensive anymore, at least not enough to justify a complicated mechanism. That's my guess anyway.

Works better that way. A belt drive doesn't deliver enough torque to drive the automatic feature. That was the failure with the Auto-stack changer in the early 2000s. All the vintage changers from the 1950s to 70s were either idler drives or hybrids with AC synchronous motors.

@@dougbrowning82 The late 80s and early 90s had a lot of auto returns that would belt driven but yes a new stacker was long gone by then. The auto drives seems to put quite a bit of strain on the idlers as well as I recall.

Good news!

Only by $5.
