If it's new and it's cheap, it sucks. If you're on a budget, don't buy new, buy a used direct-drive turntable. Direct-drive tables have no belt to wear out, and they last forever (and are of much higher quality). Just sold my 1980 Akai last year, still working perfectly

The Rega Turntable I have comes with the Rega Exact Cartridge. Unfortunately, you cannot buy a separate Stylus for this Cartridge as it comes as a complete piece. Should you need to replace the full Cartridge like for like, it would require another Rega Cartridge currently priced at £295.00. The great thing is that other makes of Cartridges can be fitted instead including ones were a replacement stylus only can be purchased. Personally, I wouldn't buy a Turntable used, but a lot of people don't have a lot of income. Whether buying used or brand new, always have patience and do your homework is correct. If new, try and visit a dealer and have a sound test in their listening room/s.

Hi , interesting points you made, I bought rega plannar3 from hifi shop only 4months old but with new elyis 2 cartridge and the deck is still under warranty, at least I have comebacks with the shop, matter of interest when the cartridge travel near to end of record or centre of record do you hear mains hum , this is we noted issue, I probably replace the cartridge I believe the elyis 2 causing the problem, thanks mark

[@onceuponatimeintoronto891]

Even if it's missing the cartridge it's only $60 for a half decent one like the one you have there including stylus and bolts. Ortofon S5 are great for about $100 complete.

Awesome video...Great tips 💿🎼🍻

Glad you liked it!

One way to address a lack of dust cover is to use a stereo cabinet with a hinged top. Mine’s an old Fisher cabinet and houses my turntable, CD player, tape deck, blue ray player, receiver, and even a VCR, along with a cassette storage drawer. Just make sure your table will fit, as some are larger than others. These cabinets pop up at thrift stores now and then, in varying condition, price, and size, ymmv.

It also helps to ask the seller why s/he is selling a used unit. I’ve been pretty lucky with my two Sony PS-X55 units, although the one that I’ve been using more frequently because of my current location stopped returning to its cradle (base?) about two weeks ago but otherwise works fine. I took it to a repair shop a couple of days ago and hope it can be repaired for a reasonable price! Peace.

[@maximilianfischer8899]

Make sure, that the replacement needle is still available, and if possible it shouldn't cost more than the turntable

[@Greg-et2dp]

Record your utube videos are awesome my friend

[@doodahdavesrecords4319]

Awesome videos love your work, dude!

[@stanleycostello9610]

Some good advice. The only thing that I would say to newbies to the vinyl community, get a new TT. It's under warranty, so if anything goes wrong you are covered. If you do get a used TT, getting a new stylus is paramount.

[@QoraxAudio]

Plenty higher end turntables don't even come with a dustcover! Funny eh?

[@matthewbrown1823]

Always good information

I need some advice, I have a rechargeable record player with built-in speakers that I got for Christmas a couple years ago and it has Bluetooth and RCA jacks and a headphone jack. It also has wow and flutter, I want to digitize my records and put them on CD. I have the equipment to do that without a computer, I have a CD recorder a standalone one and I do this for my own personal use. I’m still going to keep the record player because it was a gift and I can just listen to my records on it, where can I buy a modern day record player unit that’s battery operated and rechargeable and has Bluetooth and also has all the speeds that a record player should have? What is the best brand to get that doesn’t have wow and flutter, so I can digitize them and it will sound great just like time Life music does. Also, I am looking for a standalone hardware unit that you don’t need a computer for that can get and clean up the sound and get all the clicks and crackles and pops out of the record. Just like the professionals do so that I can do that myself and I’m interested in stuff like that and how they do it so I don’t mind doing it myself because I would enjoy it. I would like to digitally remaster them and put them on CD without the need of a computer. Can you help me with this?

If it says garard or Ferguson on it.

Technics or die!

lol!

[@garyclarke8672]

Do not buy a belt drive turntable . Buy an original sL1200/1210

[@roberttoews2775]

Why would someone who's new to turntables, here to gain wisdom on what to look for, and often shopping the used market at thrift stores, etc, find your comment of any use? They are not likely going to be budgeting over $1000. LOL Also, whether the turntable is belt or direct drive, they both use a motor that spins the platter. Each has it's pros and cons. But in the end, the differences can be so minor that the final decision rests with the listener. Sound is king, and if you’re pleased with the performance, how it’s driven shouldn't be a factor when deciding on the purchase.

[@Recordology]

Why do you think this?

[@gregcarson3444]

I have had both belt and direct drive, I like belt drives better. Look at all the higher end turntable the 10k + they are all belt drive.

[@Greg-et2dp]

Record ology I learn lot from you about bying new turntables and used turntables and new Record players and used ones my friend

[@careystuart]

If you're watching this video, and actually "need" it....stick with CD's.

[@Greg-et2dp]

Record ology iam thinking about getting my Grms license

[@davestevens4193]

All turntables suck. Digital all the way!

[@roberttoews2775]

If your digital "all the way", how did you end up here? Is there an analogue craving hiding inside you bursting to get out?
