VINYL EYEZZ SUCKS?! 

You guys rock! Thank you so much for all the kind words 😄 #keepspinning

this reddit user must be a crosley employee

I'm 52. I've been playing records since I was a kid. And I think your advice is sound. You don't have to be a gray, wrinkling middle-aged guy like me to understand turntables and vinyl. Good advice is good advice, regardless of your age.

im glad you got haters...because that means your'e doing something right... haters gonna hate. keep on trucking Jarret!!!!!

I just got into records this last month and you have given me an insane amount of sound advice. I think without you I’d have smudged every single record with my fingers by now. Keep up the good work!

Fuck the haters dude. Love your channel.

Your channel was one of the first I subbed from my vinyl RU-vid account. You have a great way of presenting. I'm 51 and still don't have a VC card for buying records. I think we all have different experiences and perspectives on things. Some people just love to hate and pick the most ridiculous things to hate about. I went through all this with my main Channel, CraigTube (and still do to a small extent). What my viewers told me, and still do, is just keep doing what you do. There's always room for improvement, and kind criticism is part of information gathering. If some people don't like what we do, then I say, "Cam up and show us how it's done bro". I think you have this RU-vid thing down pretty damn good. I like your channel a lot. Cheers Jarrett. Thanks for the shoutout!

The reason I started buying Vinyl and Vinyl players was because of you. Your doing more for the community then these reddit scrubs.

Love the sarcasm 😂 Let the haters hate. Personally I really like your videos and I think you’re doing a great job in giving good advise.

Your Sarcasm in this video was funny af. Great video

I laughed so hard at all of these on correct woords

Hey, I'm one of those over 50 dudes but I totally respect your opinions with the possible exception that new is better. I do enjoy your videos because you are young and knowledgeable on the subject. It is people like yourself that help the young people of today realize just how good the vinyl hobby is. Keep up the good work!

Just ignore the haters dude, i've learned a lot on your videos :)

You’re the reason I started getting into vinyl years ago! Started with being curious from your videos, to being inspired, to eventually buying and maintaining my own AT turntable from your recommendation. Years later that thing was still one of the best investments I’ve made. We’ve come a long way! ✌🏼 People will always hate, but majority of us appreciate the work that goes into this channel!

~ I only just discovered Vinyl Eyezz, and you do not suck. You are just kinda young, and do not have the perspective that comes with age. You do not suck, you are just young. In 2018, you are interesting, because history, music history, and anything about records and music, is interesting TO TRUE ENTHUSIASTS. I will just comment when I feel the need, without trashing you and causing RU-vid drama L.O.L. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

I happen to love your channel. You are informative, humorous, and you keep things interesting. I am nearly 50, was raised with vinyl, and yet know nothing about it. You may be young, but you know more about this subject than I do. Keep up the good work and keep smiling... because yes...you have a great smile!

That vinyl subreddit is a bunch of toxic assholes circlejerking and making themselves feel special. They will mock anyone who doesn't buy the best top end equipment and bash people that ask newbie questions. I asked about the LP60 I got for Christmas and what are some good tips for new guys getting into the hobby. The two most upvoted replies were guys saying " throw that piece of crap in the trash and buy something decent".

Jarrett - I just wanted to say that I am SO GLAD I found your videos. I KNEW NOTHING about record players just a few months ago and was very close to buying a Crosley turn-table, until I found your channel. I learned so much and now I have an amazing home set up and a great new collection of records that my husband and I enjoy very much. You helped me fulfill a dream of mine, and we couldn't be happier. THANK YOU for what you do and keep up the great work!

Don't worry about those people that don't do videos, don't help people, and just spent time bothering people (AKA trolls), really, I learned a lot from your videos, really appreciate the effort you put into that hard and constructive work. Thank you very much

This comment is obv a few years late, but I really enjoy your videos and have been watching for about 6 months now. I finally caved and bought a AT-120x usb a week ago, and followed all your setup instructions. I've been wanting to get into vinyl for years now, but never took the dive. You helped me do that. I'm late to the party too, but my collection is growing. THANK YOU!

It's so good to see someone with a positive attitude about trolls. You make your videos for the people who get it, not for trolls that search out channels to poop on, just to be a jerk... Keep up the great vlogs!

Why can't older people appreciate the fact that young ones are keeping this hobbie alive. Vinyl is a hobbie that has stayed over a lot of generations. The first vinyl was created on 1877 and this hobbie is going to die pretty soon if the younger generations don't start appreciate it. This generation might even be the last one that will play music on turntables. When it comes to Vinyl Eyezz I have to admit that you were one of the first influencers for making me buy an Audio Technica Lp120 which I love and I started collecting records. And I'm 20 years old !! Even though I can't say that I agree with every video you make I still appreciate all of the hard work you are doing to provide this little community with these videos. You are the only one who dedicates so much time to create these quality videos. Thank you for that Jarett !! Please continue do what you do and don't care about what other's say. Most of them treat people bad just because their life is bad itself. Please never stop making these great videos. We love you man !!

Listen you dude ! Im 40 years old and I grew up with vinyls thanks to my grandpa and older bros who were kind enougth to teach me about good music. From all Vinyl related video blogs available you are the best , and Im a very difficult person to please ok . You are very serious in your research and precisely because you are willing to learn youre awesome . Let me leave you with a Zen proverd " In the mind of the begginers there are so many possibilities . But in the experts only a few " Keep the good work and thank you .

omg i fukin love you this cracked me up!!!! They totally have crosleys in their rooms! Love ya vinyl eyezz

I was pondering if I should subscribe or just "memorize" this channel in case I want to educate myself about anything music/sound/vinyl-related. After watching this video, I think it's only a-pro-pirate to hit that button. Keep up the great content!

1:07 of all the languages he could speak, he decided to speak with the truth

It is always poetic justice when the haters lose their argument simply by not knowing how to spell.🙂

I think you rock. You don't have to defend yourself against trolls. Rock on brother.

You do not suck man! Your great! I have huge respect for you, you've taught me a lot about this newly founded hobby that I'm glad I've endorsed!

I love the sarcasm. Keep it up man. I greatly enjoy the accessible, straightforward, and unpretentious approach you take. I don't always agree with you, but I always respect your opinions.

I hope Jarret makes a Keemstar-esque channel and slowly turns into a gnome

How dare you smile when you are talking about something you love so much. Thanks for all the helpful tips.

don't listen to the people their jealous u because of your experience in music u give good advice thank u so much I will keep your show your vinyl friend tyrone

Those reddit users simply haven't a clue. For example, VWestlifes' latest video is a detailed comparison to budget low end players ($100 - $150) to mid range ($250 - $350). It's unreal. I always knew about tracking force and anti skate BUT I didn't know that the lower end ones had build in anti skate. Keep up the good work man. I'm 34 and I've been in the vinyl scene since I was about 6 years old. (Inherited my fathers old Pioneer PL x21z) and to this day it's still going strong.

RU-vid can be way too full of drama. I know you've got a tough skin, just ignore it & keep doing what you're doing! Keep up the good work!

My dad is 73. He worked a summer job at a TV/radio repair shop from 1961-66. He says your advice is pretty sound and makes sense.

Jarrett, don't you know you have to take a class and get your vinyl license to speak about records on the interwebs????

These people are saying "He's in his 20's he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about" and then they can barely even spell.

You are awesome. So funny. Shade well handled.

man....you are a breath of fresh air in this hobby full of egoists and smart asses. People like them are the ones who make Vinyl not appealing to newcomers, because you cant have any sort of setup without someone telling you you're doing it wrong, and unless you have a setup worth thousands and thousands of dollars you're not a true enthusiast. I just got into vinyl in the recent months...because of you I have upgraded my amp, my speakers, getting rid of my fully automatic turntable and restoring my fathers old turntable with the tips YOU taught me. Keep it up man. You keep it real, thats why i respect your channel the most.

Just ignore the"HATER" who is still living in the basement of his mommy's house. You do a great job and your videos are informative. Thanks

when people see you doing well and minding your own, they'll try to find stupid reasons to hate you. keep doing what you do man. you're great.

Dont worry about them haters, they are just jealous, i learned so much from you, and I've been playing vinyl for over 20 years

Proof that you are getting more and more popular. You give great advice. Keep on doing what you are doing.

I find r/vinyl to be amongst the more pretentious subreddits that I use. The last comment you showed (And the negative score it received) sums it up nicely. While that obviously doesn't apply to everyone (there is certainly good information and discussion to be seen there), it just seems crazy to me that so many people get so passionate about what others are doing. Anyways saw the thread when it was posted, and stayed subscribed. Cool to see you respond to it though, keep up the good work!

I'm in my 50's I grew up on Vinyl and I love your videos. I know it's 5 years old, but I just caught your channel recently.

Don't take it so hard dude. I'm 54. You made me realize what I actually gave up. As a kid and young adult I loved vinyl, but in the early 80's ( you young kid, you're too young to remember) the recording industry killed vinyl. They released low quality garbage. I was switching to imports from Europe and Japan which were by far much better quality. When Cd's arrived it was a welcome improvement over the mass produced trash records. Your generation has brought the industry back. If it wasn't for you young "know-nothings" records would be dead and in the past, just like many people of my generation.

I started buying vinyl when I started watching your videos, and the bad thing is that I haven't a turntable so I have to use my grandpa's turntable, the point is that you showed me the vinyl word, now I enjoy buying vinyl and watching your videos, thanks and greetings from Mexico.

Keep Doing your thing Jarred! Those people are just haters and the fact that they like crosley, just sums up how smart they are when it comes to vinyl. Your the best 👊

you know Jarrett....you are simply one of the best communicators on this LP world, thank you very much, your channel and your info are amazing.

(Yes 🙂) i'm kidding in my opinion this is one of the best channels on RU-vid keep up the good work all love from Saudi Arabia

Well done. I love it when responsible, intelligent video creators like you prove that civilized discourse is still possible by politely and humorously calling out the haters.

Sir, keep on doing what you do. Your're doing a great job.

You spin me round round round baby like round, like a record baby! L O V E you Jarret

As someone who's both been using Reddit and listening to vinyl for a pretty long time. These guys are totally full of themselves. Why can't you just enjoy music the way you want to? Why does being an audiophile have to be a closely guarded art form/in group that you have to do everything right, or else face dire consequences. You're obviously helping people who are new to vinyl, you're not for the people who have spent years and 1000's of dollars perfecting the craft. Everyone has different ways of listening, cleaning, and enjoying vinyl. Everyone has brands they prefer. Just because this doesn't line up with your perfect system, doesn't mean it's wrong. Reddit, I love you, but some of your users need to get over themselves.

You're sharing tons of interesting info, news, tips...ignore such useless feedbacks...and continue with your passion to keep us updated!

The sarcasm is strong with this one...

The sarcasm is strong with this one and I fuckin love it!

while we can all joke about the haters being Crosley owners, I saw that Reddit thread and it raised a handful of legitimate concerns. that's not to say the thread wasn't petty, but let's not be too quick to dismiss, and engage in some honest introspection. With that said, as a regular viewer I have noticed I'm losing interest in your more recent content. It's drifting towards more general music related stuff. that's by no means bad, but I come here for videos about vinyl, and the occasional cassette.

Keep making the videos dude. They've helped me out so much. This video is like a virtual middle finger to the haters and it's great.

Mate salute to you, salute to you. Keep it up!

Dude you literally saved me! Before I found this channel my player of choice was a crosley cruiser! Thanks to you I now own a pro-ject essential 3 and couldn’t be happier with it!

I like your content but my only disliked video was the streaming sucks one, that made no sense.

Thank you for finally realizing this.

While I don't support haters or anything, several of your videos have wrong info about very useful topics, like (in top of my head, because I subscribed 2 days ago), the cleaning method you use, and wood glue cleaning method. This doesn't mean your entire channel is all wrong, for example, the Crosley warning video, and the "record players" series is just amazing for vinyl starters. A thing I think you could do, is revisit those topics where you could be wrong and make a new video correcting your wrongs, there are several people comenting on the videos that point out (in a calm, non-destructive and friendly manner) where you go wrong, but I don't see you responding to these comment, only to those where people praise you. I know I just subscribed, but I just can't stand people who can't admit is wrong or doesnt want to get involved in a civiliced debate of different ideas and ways of thinking, so depending on how you manage I could un-subscribe. Now, you may think, I am a single person, but many other people feel the way I do, and you could lose new, and even old subscribers. So, don't focus on the mindless rage of the people, and think they're immediately wrong, instead ask yourself if you are doing a good job with your videos and the comunity you have built, and right your wrongs if you consider another point of view or way of doing things is better than yours, remeber that not long ago, you were a noob at vinyls and you are still learning, and need to learn a lot more. Peace.

I don’t know how dense you have to be in order to say that you suck. You’re one of the nicest people I know! You may just be the most charismatic guy on RU-vid

I love it that when you say that everything you ever said was completely wrong, and in the right top corner the thing pops up with a suggestion: Cassettes are back. So... That's a lie as well? Because I kinda recently got a cassette player. Should I be disappointed? :( Kidding of course. I like your vids and I do love to see what Vinyl Moon is bringing out each month. Just keep on going :)

Hey Jarrett, just want to say that I as a "vintage" person, appreciate your interest and effort to reveal and promote the joy in listening to dynamic music - any music, to a younger audience. Listening to vinyl requires a bit more effort than streamed MP3s but taking the time to enjoy an album with a friend is worth every minute - at least it was in my youth.

I'm 63. I sold hi-fi between 1976 and 1982. I was about as old as you are now. I loved the stuff like you do. I knew a lot about it because for me, it was my main hobby. I really wanted an AR XA before I started selling, btw. I'm currently a long time member of Audiokarma dot org and Vinylengine dot com, as well as tapeheads dot net. Anyway, yeah, you are occasionally wrong about stuff, but you are right more often than wrong. And to be honest, I've ALWAYS hated hi-fi snobbery. It's why, when I bought what is now my fourth turntable (currently), it was the LP120. I use it to play music between sets for my live bands and to plug directly into my computer for headphone listening (the ones in my avatar). BTW, I sold or gave away at least 3 turntables when I left Seattle six years ago, but I still own my first TT, which is a Kenwood KD500 with an ADC LMF2 carbon tonearm. Your videos are VERY entertaining and enjoyable. I don't listen to learn about vinyl. I listen to learn about how YOUR generation is approaching the art, which is why I enjoy your videos. And I learned about Amoeba records. I'm on my hobby farm in south central KY, but was very excited to see your Amoeba Music videos. I'll be visiting my daughter in Studio City in a couple of months and we already plan a trip to Amoeba. You are always gonna have haters, and yes, some of this guy's points may be valid, to a degree, but nobody knows everything. Believe it or not, because 78's were so off my radar for so long that, when I realized this LP120 would play them, I was about to do what is really dumb: Play them with an LP needle. I had actually FORGOTTEN that they really DO need a much larger needle to ride the grooves properly. I was 62 when I re-learned this. I guess the old phrase is true: "I've forgotten more than you know, sonny!" :) Anyway, your videos are very good, and I'm sure you will learn more and more as you continue. So just correct the errors and keep going. In fact, maybe we can have coffee when my wife and I get there. Believe me, I can tell you stories...:)

Jarrett, I just saw this video and it made me sad. The internet is full of toxicity. I've found your channel informative, inspiring and very entertaining. I'm an old guy (49) now getting back to vinyl since the 80's and I always look forward to your next video. Ignore the jealous haters and keep up the great work! I greatly appreciate your work!!

Definetly your the best expert in vinyl

Instead of just making fun of the shitpost comments why don't you respond to the actual criticism

66 year old Classic Rock & Soul DJ, here. I watch your channel and recommend it constantly to customers needing vinyl info, and folks breaking into the hobby (obsession). You don't suck! You offer very sound (see what I did there), cogent, and practical advice that has been limited to audiophiles and insiders for decades. Newbies would do well to count on you to help keep their record collections clean, their equipment tuned and their experience maximized. Rock On!

No one is perfect. However, this seems petty. I believe you are better than correcting spelling errors and publicly calling out comments. Move on brother, rise above.

I love your channel! you are awesome! You're part of my weakly routine and I would hate to see your channel go away. I'm not new to vinyl, still I like the way you explain everything, and I constantly find myself sharing your videos to friends that just started their vinyl revolution. They love it. (in fact they subscribed so they asked me to stop...)

So you were triggered by some comments on reddit, why complain about it to your veiwers? you're only feeding the trolls, which shows that you're letting them get to you, which is never a good idea.

You introduced me into the Vinyl Community I learn a lot from watching your videos. Thanks for introducing me to record playing, it enriched my home.

I'm a self taught player of Vinyl, didn't realise you had to be qualified, is there a degree for this?

Love your videos easy to listen to just the right amount of energy and you've taught this old dog a few new tricks well done

I like your channel, but hate it at the same time. You talk like your a total expert, but I have found many things you have said contrary or false for a product. Your cleaning video is a very good example. The stuff you use is garbage, but great technique used to clean the vinyl, so I'm still a bit unsure about this channel as a whole.

I love your videos and have learned so much from them! I've increased my listening experience exponentially because of the great insights that you have shared. Thanks so much!

I don't agree with a lot of the reddit post, but it pretty much says that you present misinformation and gives examples of such. You're incredibly defensive here and it really doesn't shine a good light on you.

I have about 1000 vinyl records. I started collecting in the early 70s; (money allowing); and my most recent purchase was late last year. (The new 180gram pressings are magic). There's just something wonderful about vinyl. Playing the record; looking at the album art without a magnifying glass. And I love watching this channel. It's nice to Vinyl making a comeback.

honestly, with all of this drama, your lack of response to honest criticisms, choosing to mostly feed the trolls instead, and the shift in your content towards general music info, has convinced me to unsubscribe. It's nothing personal, but I come here for information about vinyl, and I don't need my subscription feed full of drama. Next time, ignore the trolls, actually respond to honest criticism, admit when you're wrong, and change based on constructive. input. It will only make your channel and it's information improve. you have a good thing going here, and it has plenty of potential, but feeding trolls and refusing honest introspection is only going to hurt you, and your audience.

Three years later and you still don't suck! I'm learning good things about playing lp's from you as a beginner. Watching your older video's thought me many things about turntables. Keep on doing your thing! Greetings from Amsterdam👋🏽

I have never seen someone handle drama so well

I'm still new to vinyl, and Jarrett has been amazing help in discovering new information and helping me learn. This channel is everything.

Jarret as a complete beginner it was actually really good to watch your videos. It a really gave me confidence that you were fairly new to it yourself and had got to grips with everything. I had previously watched some other videos by people that had had a love of vinyl for years and to be honest they put me off. They made everything too complicated and some can be rather pompous. I just waned to enjoy the music and create the best sound possible for my money and you really helped so thankyou. Don't listen to them cause you rock! :-)

Dude I bought a player a few weeks ago and I have been trying to figure out everything about records, and I surfed Reddit, forums, and a ton of other stuff, and I learned more from you in a few hours than I did in a week.

1:45 had me in tears, hilarious man!

I purchased my whole set up based on your recommendations. Keep up the good work.

In terms of buying a turntable, here's what I did. I bought a new turntable, but I did it back in the 80's, so now it's vintage. Best of both worlds!

i love this,,im new to this hobby. Less than three months in and think the advice is top notch. Same advice as the other top audiophiles.

You DON'T suck...you are great! And add a touch of humour.

I enjoy your videos. I enjoy your enthusiasm for the hobby. You'll never please everybody, so keep doing what you do.

I'm 43 and I've learned more watching your channel about vinyl than I've ever known. Very concise videoes straight to the point. Keep it up Jarrett

Good for you for making this video! You`re not afraid of laughing at yourself and I like how you`ve dealt with the haters.

your helping to keep vinyl alive matey and helping many many people open up to a whole new experience of listening to music. I think your videos are great. keep up the good work

He defends himself like the American wall defends the States. Well done, stayed calm and had good points. Respect.

Dude, amazing responses to all these comments. I love the grammatical errors and how you point them out. Keep the videos coming, it's your channel that has gotten me back into vinyl.
