Best way to handle a record is by its edges.

[@harveywatts4004]

Or by the label if you wanna hold it with one hand

OMG. I grew up with record players and never even thought that today's generation had no idea how to use one. Love how vintage this player looks! I checked the specs and love how it converts to mp3s without a computer!

When i first got mine i already knew how for some reason lol just some old soul stuff i guess

[@nostalgia6578]

0:40 I was raised in the vinyl and polyethylene (some 45s) era, and one thing you should never do is handle the record with your fingers. You take the record in both hands, with the palms touching the edges. Too many fingerprints dull the sound of the record and sometimes may cause "skips". Good demonstration though!

[@jacobcrozier]

Definitely

[@daetenbarraza3040]

I thought so, I just got a record player today and I had no idea about them but I just assumed it’s not a good idea to touch the record just like a CD

[@crystalball7993]

Can you make a vintage room make over?💘💘💘

[@DougMcDave]

Oooh, do not touch the playing surface with your fingers! Oil from the skin can attract dust, which causes that annoying crackle. It could also cause premature wear of the stylus/needle. Instead, handle the record by the outside edge and label.

[@HotSaucetimusPrime]

I bought a record from meme about 3 years ago. I’ve always been curious on its sound and convinced my self to buy a player because it’s also part Bluetooth speaker. And now I’ve got 4 records in my Amazon cart, I’m hooked.

[@RebekahYT]

I bought a record player 5 days ago and now have led Zeppelin and David Bowie! Im still looking for more but quite happy with these

You know you're getting old when you ask yourself why anyone would need a tutorial! Haha

[@jeremiahlasola9892]

I'm a record collector and I find this a spot-on instruction! Although the way you hold the record is improper. The record should be handled on the edge or on the label to prevent the record grooves on collecting dirt from your hands. :) Anyway, this is a great channel and now I hit the Subscribe!

[@mjcoolswagtv8839]

I'm 14 and.... Same 😂my mom showed me yesterday how turntables work, and I wanted her to do everything because I was a too big afraid of breaking something

[@charliebrown1976]

@@mjcoolswagtv8839 If you are still interested in vinyl, I highly recommend just giving it a shot. It's not hard, and making a mistake or two doesn't mean you ruin the entire turntable or the record. I have records from the 1920s that look like they were buried for years and they still play. They are more resilient than many people think. If you have an old turntable, you might want to replace the cartridge and stylus (what most people know simply as the needle at the end of the arm). Otherwise, get yourself a decent new turntable, such as the Audio Technica AT-LP60, and a decent set of powered bookshelf speakers, such as the Edifier R1280Ts. This will give you an excellent vinyl starter set that you can really enjoy listening to for a very reasonable cost of $200. I know many people think that most of the vinyl community is harsh or hostile towards the turntables they sell in big-bix retailers, but the truth is they give a bad name to the hobby, and they are not worth whatever they cost. Value and cheapness are not the same thing. Getting a poor product for very little money is not value. TL;DR: If you still want to have fun with vinyl, go for it, and try the setup I mentioned above if you don't have any old equipment. It will sound great without breaking the bank. Edit: I should mention that I'm only 16, so you're not the only young whippersnappers in this game! ;)

Despite being considered "old" for a young goer I've never used a vinyl player but finally got round to buying myself one and was worried about how to use it with out doing any damage especially considering I didn't even know the difference between the 33/45/78 meaning but this was a perfect guide and I got it all set up and working and sounding exquisite without a single worry thanks to this, thank you 👍

[@howlshaircoloring9677]

I don't own one but its my dream player like a record player is something I've always wanted Ill just say that I love you and your videos My love for vintage things has grown so much because of you and its grown my connections with older family members I've started to love the 50s to 60s a lot more because of you and its something ill always thank you for Love you 💕💕

[@pcallas66]

Don't put a quarter over your headshell. One thing that I do is take weight off of the tone arm. I don't know why I had luck with that, but it definitely works for me. I'm not sure if there's a counterweight adjustment spring in the back of your tonearm or not. Also, the other thing that may be going on is some of those needles on these type of players will put a 1.0 mil. If you can replace the needle for your record player with a 0.7 mil stylus, it will track much better as well. It may also be a sapphire stylus instead of a diamond. If you replace it, make sure you get the correct diamond replacement as well. It will last much longer. Your setup does sound good.

[@xaviersejour9183]

I got a record player from a yard sale. If you change the speed in the circular table doesn’t move does that mean it’s broken ? It is making a weird noise So there’s something inside that’s moving

[@PogueSquadron]

My mom said I could have her old record player. Is there anything I should do with it to ensure that it works properly and is safe? I don’t know if the needle would need to be replaced, or if something that old would damage anything or what have you. I think it’s from the 80s or possibly early 90s.

[@essentialeugene]

Hello when my record would skip, I would hold the needle for a few seconds and the next time I would play it that part wouldn't skip.

[@DritoVales]

The only reason it didn't skip the next time is because you demolished the vinyl groove walls. If a record is skipping it's either defective, or the stylus tracking force is not correctly set, or you just have a cheap player that doesn't track well or cannot adjust the tracking force/anti skate properly

[@mightyboognish6579]

@@DritoVales worth noting that the record being defective is much less likely than the other scenarios

Hey there this is a very nice well planned out video tutorial. However I would say this is for the real novelist who is just getting into collecting and listening to records. I go way back several decades when it comes to vinyl records so for me using a record player is very familiar straightforward so I really wouldn't need a video tutorial like this one but it was nice to watch anyway and it is very informative for modern Millennials who have never even seen a record player before.

[@philipiiijoyner8463]
