Sound Burger Review

[@derekmurray5183]

Re. Lifting the arm…. Just press the on/off button. Lift the top section up and hey presto! No more scratched records

[@CBitsTech]

I figured out to turn it off first, thanks. Why lift the top section? You mean open the player?

[@iomis2001]

I also live in a small home and would like something I can put away when not in use. I feel like this is perfect so I can play some of my records I've purchased over the years.

[@CBitsTech]

Sorry for the dealy in replying. Did you buy a Sound Burger yet? I do think it's the ultimate small record player.

[@iomis2001]

@@CBitsTech Yes I bought one about a month ago and love it. I have it connected to my Polk Bluetooth speaker so I don't need wires everywhere. It is what I was looking for.

[@BokBarber]

These burgers aren't perfect, but are better than they have any right to be. Mine doesn't embarrass itself next to tables that cost 5x as much. The clearance on the platter is an issue as you mentioned, but the lack of antiskate can also be a problem; I find that records are more prone to skipping on this player because it wants to drag towards the middle without that antiskate.

7:50 even if u remember to secure the disc with the provided puck before spinning it?

[@CBitsTech]

Good point. I'll try again with the puck and let you know.

@@CBitsTechupdate?

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Nice ! But yea the arm-disarm would be a problem for me especially after 2-3 espressos :D

[@CBitsTech]

Lol, I can just imagine that 😁

[@h.c.7799]

Thank you for your detailed review. But TBH I cannot quite follow the problems you have with picking up the tone arm. I don't catch the point you are making with the "height off the table" . Why is that so crucial? You'd simply put your index finger UNDER the tone arm handle and quickly move the tone arm UP. Do not use your thumb! Then after this initial millisecond which is needed for moving the stylus out of the groove (the stylus is so short and the groove is so tiny, that it does not need much movement) you can contaminate your movement of the tone arm with lateral movement, the latter being harmful if applied with the stylus still resting in the groove. It is a "balloon up and away" movement instead of a plane start movement, so to say.

[@seismic6435]

Would you recommend mounting one on the wall?

[@CBitsTech]

No. The tone arm is not spring-loaded, so there's nothing to hold the stylus on the record if it's vertical.

[@seismic6435]

@@CBitsTech oh ok. I know nothing about vinyl players, so this is very helpful. Do you have any specific ones to recommend?

[@CBitsTech]

Sorry, not really. I'm not really an expert either, I hardly even use vinyl. There's a vintage turntable nicknamed the Sony Flamingo but they're very expensive. The Techmoan channel has reviewed some vertical turntables, and maybe VWestlife. I suggest that you look through their videos. Good luck.

[@LysanderLH]

They went on sale again this morning and sold out …. Again! I got a white one. The alternative was black and it will be released again later this year in yellow

[@CBitsTech]

Cool, thanks for letting me know. I bet the white one looks good. I would have preferred the original yellow to red. Maybe I'll swap later in the year.

[@dixonnegron1083]

I just purchased one n I’m amazed how great it sounds. I have a few Bluetooth speakers n they all work on the soundburger. I’m really amazed. I sometimes forget to put the rubbery adapter but still plays great. I have the black one but the red looks really nice. Very satisfied with this. Plus does not feel cheap at all.

[@CBitsTech]

Great. They're amazing. The black one looks cool and classy. I imported a yellow one from Japan and that's my favourite so far.

[@Leonardnl]

You need to have a steady hand to take the needle off the vinyl.

[@h.c.7799]

nothing one couldn't have accomplished in the "vinyl days"

[@MaglorMusic]

how do you work the volume on the bluetooth headphones?

[@CBitsTech]

On my Jabra Elite 3 earbuds, holding the right earbud button increases the volume, the left earbud button decreases it.

[@MaglorMusic]

@@CBitsTech I wonder if we can do that with the AirPods Pro 1. I know the AirPods Pro 2 can work volume directly on the pods, but the AirPods Pro 1 don’t have that option, and many other Bluetooth don’t have it too.

[@CBitsTech]

@@MaglorMusic Sorry, I don't know and can't test that, I only one one Apple product (iPhone) and I don't use that any more. I just bought a Jabra 5 earbuds (my 3s might be about to break through over-use) for £85 on Amazon. Haven't opened them yet, but Jabra works with anything I throw at them. I like interoperability 🙂

[@DjRay1967]

What I found playing warped records, is to put a straight record down first and the warped record on top. Make sure you use the 45 rpm adapter on top of the records to hold them down tight. So far I could play my more warped records with no problem.

[@CBitsTech]

Brilliant idea, thanks, I'll try that.

[@MW3LikeABous]

You must hate your records

[@1RJ2]

I guess you could use and acrylic matt too right?

[@CBitsTech]

​@@1RJ2I tested another record under this warped on in a later video, but the record was so high that the tone-arm rubbed against it. Look for the video "Sound Burger Can't Play Warped Records". Thanks for the suggestion, though, it might work with a very thin acrylic mat.

[@yajiu]

Great video, makes me want to get into vinyl! Then I won’t have a marriage left because $!

[@Lee-on675]

Everything are fine for me accept AV out put fron 2 in 1 made a bad soubd result ...and bluse tooth is not the best solution

[@mikequinlan9585]

I asked for one for Christmas 🎄 😊

[@CBitsTech]

I hope you're on Santa's good boy list 😀🎁

[@mikequinlan9585]

@@CBitsTech the SB is the bomb! Okay it’s light, so be careful where you put it, and don’t bump the table, but otherwise the music is sweet.

[@CBitsTech]

Excellent. Santa really did a good job for you, then. Yes, they're excellent. I have two now, I imported a yellow one from China. It's on top of a mini hifi, which is on top of a cassette deck, on top of a two-drawer filing cabinet. Pretty stable, and I can run it through the hifi amp when not using Bluetooth. Perfect.

[@thejoojooman6538]

I may purchase 1.

[@CBitsTech]

The manufacturer has stated they will be available later this year.

[@hwntwww]

The stylus comes off too easily. The mount is push fit plastic. You cannot exchange cartridges

[@hwntwww]

Bluetooth gives poor audio quality- avoid
