Any advice or criticism?
Now Spinning: Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. Reissue. 2013.
This morning is the perfect morning to play some Miles Davis! So calm and peaceful. Every song on this album is so amazing and powerful in its own way. This classic album is an album I would recommend to every jazz lover!
First turntable turned out to be a fun project. Realized both pictures cover the name so for those curious it’s a technics FG servo SL-20
Hi! I’m very new to the vinyl scene and trying to enjoy some records I recently purchased - my audio technica arrived today, and I’ve been trying to get it to work. I don’t have any other speaker but an amazon Alexa at this point (since I splurged on a good record player) but now when it plays it emits a high pitched noise from the vinyl itself - see the video.
I suspect it might be to do with the needle itself but any lighter and the audio quality drops. I can’t think that this is right!
Please help! It’s driving me mad!
Now Spinning: Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong - Ella and Louis. Reissue. 2013.
Finally opened this up to listen to it, and I am LOVING it! This is probably one of my favorite albums of all time.
Most or some of you have probably seen most of my record spin of the day posts, but I still thought it would be cool to show all of you my whole collection of 51 records! I'm definitely getting more, but this is what I have right now and I'm so proud of it! 🥰😁🎶 What do ya'll think? And im open to recommendations too!
Am I the only one guilty of this? You finally get home from work, sit down to relax, and throw on a new record you’ve been dying to play… and it sounds absolutely horrible.
So naturally, you pull the record off, make sure it’s clean, check all your connections, put it back on… still horrible.
At this point, obviously the turntable RPM must be off, right? So out comes the trusty flathead screwdriver and I start tweaking the speed because there’s no way the record player isn’t the problem.
After getting it pretty much dialed in with only a tiny adjustment needed, I throw the record back on… and it STILL sounds awful.
Then it hits me: “Wait a second… did I even check if this was a 45?”
Yep. I’d been playing it too slow the entire time. The second I switched the player to 45 RPM, it sounded perfect.
So now I’m extremely happy I don’t need to buy a new turntable, while also feeling incredibly stupid. But honestly, that’s part of the game with records sometimes — and at least now I’ve got a funny story to tell…. Right? Hahaha
I’m curious, do y’all have any records in your collection that are scratched to hell and sound horrible when you play them? What do you usually do with them?
I’ve got a few older beat-up records that I don’t even listen to anymore. I just kind of keep them tucked in the back of the collection. Curious what everyone else does with their rough-condition records.
