[@stevecappella7358]

I started watching you a couple of years ago. I searched the internet, watched video reviews and decided to purchase the Fluance RT85. The acrylic platter is extremely nice and I love the Ortofon Blue cartridge. I must say that I love this turntable. I believe you may have had an AudioTecnica direct drive at that time, but your unbiased reviews helped me decide on what I have and enjoy now. You also love those speakers so I looked around, did my research and went with the same brand but got "The Sixes" which blow my mind of how great they are. Thank you for another great video. I've loved getting back to my vinyl over the last couple of years and love going to used record stores as well as purchasing new pressings. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and wonderful New Year.

[@thethriftyfawn]

Love this concept! I suppose we could expect a possible direct drive record player recommendations video in the future? 🙂

[@JohnnyBRad]

Man I can’t recommend the U-Turn orbit enough! I’ve had it for a few years now and adore it! Sound is great and the customer service from U-Turn is incredible

[@BJWanlund]

I use the Sony PS-LX310BT myself and I absolutely love it! Definitely would recommend it!

[@edwardyoung8575]

My Audio Technica lp120 served me well, what i absolutely hated about it the last few years i owned it was the built in rca cables. I had it for 7 years, passed it down to my neice and now have a MoFi Studiodeck. Absolutely love it!!!

[@TBNTX]

I have s few turntables, but my main one is the Fluance belt-drive RT85N. It's my primary turntable, and it's affordable. Mine shipped with an Ortofon Blue cartridge. I'm not expecting to replace it. I'm pleased with the performance at the price. I'm not wealthy . Personally, I prefer an external pre-amp because it lets me find the best match for my listening preferences. My present one is the Fosi Audio Box X3, which allows swapping-out the vacuum tubes for different performance results. To each, their own, of course, but I like my setup.

[@drivethrou]

I bought a Thoréns td160 super in 1982 . Still in use

[@adamokon358]

The Belt Drive Turntable which I actually use, is an Audio Technica AT-LP 2022.

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

Every belt drive turntable I've owned has failed, now I own direct drive and no issues.

[@agnosobosovo9775]

I own a Hitachi direct drive turntable from 1977. No problems at all too

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

All my belt drives were Technics and the motors all eventually failed. All my Technics direct drives have never failed.@@agnosobosovo9775

[@leon_mnl]

How did it fail? I have been using one sinds the the late 80's without any issues ( normal belt and stylus wear aside) no magnet rumble on the direct drive ?

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

All my belt drive turntables have been Technics and the motors have failed on all of them but my Technics direct drive turntables are solid, no issues at all.@@leon_mnl

[@fuijf-evenementenreclame3640]

Great video. Can you look at the Dual turntables too?

[@ChilliDogsss]

Hi, I bought a record but when it arrived, the vinyl had this black smudge all over it and i couldn’t get it off using your cleaning techniques. I havent had the chance to try it out because I’m still waiting for my turntable to arrive. I’ll edit it once I am able to test it

[@x7nick7x48]

I bought during the black friday the Teac TN-3B-SE. So good as my first turntable

[@thatdudeACES]

I got the Fluance 81+ and love it, eventually I’ll upgrade to the 85N

[@cbrSpeedster1]

Im thinking about going with the Fluance RT85... I love the look, the wide drive belt, the acrylic platter with the recess for the album center paper and the Ortofon cartridge... Thanks for the video..

[@ONgamersTrashcan]

I have waited 3 million years on a new video and you make a video like this.

[@jokerquinnhahaiwest2475]

Man, I love the AT LP60x. It's not only great for beginners but it's amazing for anyone who wants a solid and affordable turntable in general.

[@Downhuman74]

I know I'm firmly in the minority on this one but the Nagaoaka 110 was one of the most disappointing carts I've ever used. Sounded like someone had thrown a blanket over my speakers. I returned it for another on the off chance I had gotten a defective cart and it was the same. Took a chance on the more expensive AT VM540ML and never looked back.

[@Recordology]

I was unimpressed with it too.

[@dzidzabidza789]

Thank you.

[@eversosleight]

Awesome list! I own AT LP60x with Edifier ODB BT speakers but I really want to listen to my vinyl on headphones. Sadly i can't find a jack on the table or speakers. I don't even know where to begin and when I research how to use/instal headphones, it gets even more confusing 😢

[@waynespering3145]

You could try something like the Bellari HA543 which has an input on the back for something such as your turntable with adjacent outputs to your speakers, and on the front are 2 headphone jacks for standard 1/4” and 1/8”. You’ll need an extra set of RCA cables to go from the unit to your speakers. Hope this helps!

[@luckas30]

Do you have any opionion about Music Hall turntables? I rarely hear abiout them. Great video as usual!

[@Derek_Habib]

Song of the day- Love Of My Life, Queen

[@JoeMama-yk5yx]

Cool!

[@Retrogamingmaverick]

Lemme clear things up for you. The gain knob on the Sony turntable is like any other separate preamp so you can control the preamp on the turntable itself

[@radiogeekau3356]

I recently acquired the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO and i am very impressed with the performance. I'm in Australia so it comes with an Ortofon 2M Red pre installed and it doesnt come with 78 RPM capability. The only downside is having to take the platter off to change from 33 to 45 RPM. Other than that, i love it.

[@nooa1234]

The Carbon EVO has a switch for 33/45 speeds, and has 78rpm capability with a provided belt. You have the older 'non EVO' variant.

[@eenshcobob]

I know this isn't related to the video, but I'm asking if you could maybe talk about chain reaction records in colorado that was destroyed when a drunk driver crashed into it. This was one of my favorite records stores and it would be awesome if you could spread the word out. Thanks.

[@User-eq3hf]

Denon DP-29F Automatic Belt-Drive Analog Turntable with Pre-Mounted Cartridge and Built-in Phono Preamp What’s your opinion it’s good??

[@Vinylstar_]

Can you do a top 5 or 10 direct drive turntable please!!!

[@erikwagonblott3334]

The Sony is my first turntable. I got it three years ago and it's still going strong.

[@AllRoundGaming98]

I was always under the impression that belt driven turn tables where typically used for the cheaper low quality turntables, thats why I went with the Pioneer PLX-500. The more you know hahah.

[@DrBRockstar2000]

Hey Vinyl Eyezz! I have a Retrolife HQ-KZ006 2-speed belt-driven turntable, which cost me $70 on Amazon. Is that brand any good? It has a built-in preamp, but I had to buy separate speakers and a receiver. Would this setup work?

[@Glubus]

You keep me hangin’ on - Vanilla Fudge

[@TBNTX]

If someone wants to spin 78 RPM records, please now that the listener will need to switch-out the stylus. You ought to have mentioned this in your video.

[@trekietrekstor8404]

Hey could you make a video about record lathes?

[@giovannidavila5624]

Do you have any records for genre’s such as salsa, merengue, boleros, and boogaloo or anything Latin in general?

[@elikarmalap5445]

Hi, I got Akai TTA07USB today and it’s supposed to have built in speakers, but the volume is ridiculously low and there’s no volume botton, do you have any idea on what i have to do ?😅

[@MFSHARTY]

1byOne H04 model is fire yall! Can get it around $100-$170

[@luzwick65]

I'm looking at the RT85 comes with Blue 2 cart. My Audio-Tech AT-LP120 lost the fight with Mice. My Receiver is a Onkyo TX-850 Stupid question, does that have a pre-amp?

[@danijelujcic8644]

I hope Lenco GS-400 series is OK. I know they have built-in speakers but they also have 3.5 mm jacks ...

[@tiryxx977]

My Fluance RT83 keeps breaking, I’m losing hope but I don’t want to buy a new table since it’s so expensive. First it was some capacitors and now a transistor has blown up. I’ve had 30 minutes of use out of it and it’s been sitting around for months.

What are your favourite direct drive turntables

[@oldmanjimh3165]

The pro-ject is the only 3-sp. I have a lot of older records so this is important. I've heard that older vinyl requires a different stylus. Is that true?

[@vinyleyezz]

Yes, exactly! When playing the older 78 Shellac Records, you need to use a different cartridge/stylus, like the Ortofon 2M 78, or Grado 78E Cartridge.

[@poppadom42]

I have a Sony PS-LX310BT and mine doesn't have a USB port on the back. I checked the manual and it says the USB port is inside the turntable and is only accessible by taking off the platter, used for firmware updates. I'm away right now and can't check for myself but I would have noticed a USB port on the back of mine because I've had to digitize my records before by using separate equipment.

[@jackedkerouac4414]

My Ortofon Blue stylus snapped off. Why would this happen I don't roughly handle the tonearm 😞

[@erikharnos7726]

Hello im new of Vinyl thing i just want to buy everything and i have a quastion. If i have a turn table with a build in preamp and i have an active speaker (speaker with a build in amplifier correct me is im worng) is this gonna work? thy the help any sry if my question is dumb

[@LordWaterBottle]

Quite late, but yes that will work. The record player with built ij preamp will output at the same level as a DAC or old TV with RCAs, which then go out to the active speakers, which just want that same DAC / RCA level, and basically have their own electronics built in.

[@padfootandprongs]

i have the audio Technica lp60 which has an automatic tonearm, and while it does move when i press play, it doesn't move far enough that it actually touches the record. do you have any solutions to that?

[@paulwhite4061]

Good luck getting your question answered, I. I'm having no luck getting any of my questions answered.

Hi Jarrett, I'm a paying member of your channel. I've sent you an email and posted several different videos with no luck. Please help me out with my equipment setup. I've got a new Fluance RT 83, separate Amp and a Denon AVR 683 that does not have a phono in option. I sent you some pics of my equipment so you could tell me what to do. I'm at my wits end and ready to just chuck it all. I became a member just for this reason, to get my questions answered. Thank you, Paul White

Can you include “Test Me” - Melanie Martinez in your next video!

[@channelzero2252]

Sony offer a "gain" function on their record player? These guys were among the first to crank up the volume of their CD's to excess. Ironically the vast majority of Sony CD's I've got pre-1993 are some of the best CD's you'll ever hear. So does this mean they're trying to ruin records like they ruined CD's? Probably, but it won't work: You can turn off the gain function or even buy a different player, but you can't turn down a loud recording.

[@massimilianomagni2351]

[@glasdonjm]

I bought the Fluance RT85 ~2 years ago following your recommendation so obviously that gets my vote. 🤣 SotD: This is the Life - Amy Macdonald

[@chadvanderlinden9548]

So I heard Jarret describe 3-4 different tone arm materials (aluminum, magnesium, carbon fiber) described as "for better sound" lol. If they all provide "better" sound then I guess they're all equal!? The best sound doesn't come from a model that is automated, has bluetooth, usb or an embedded preamp. Direct drive, big pitch sliders and plug-in cartridges are for DJs who need a rugged system that can do tricks. However, unless you're in an ideal listening environment and/or an experienced listener, you won't really tell the difference. Don't pay extra for a model that has 78rpm (and the special needle for that) unless you've been hired to digitize great grandpa's archive. Powered bookshelf speakers are for personal listening in small rooms like your dorm or office and you only have a single sound source. Big, powered (or passive) PA speakers are something else entirely. The best quality turntables are belt drive, have heavy platters, non-slip rubber mats and fine adjustment for counterweight and skating. You pair that with a stereo "receiver" like Jarret's Yamaha system which has dedicated turntable, tape and aux inputs, radio, preamp, amplifier and connections for passive speakers. There are nice sounding rugged and compact stereo systems out there, but there is utterly no comparison to full-sized systems. Very good systems usually cost a lot, BUT truly crappy systems come both cheap and expensive. Ask your parents to help you pick a good model. And if you buy a crosley or any other kind of portable turntable, you may as well use your LPs for doormats.

[@lgziabeher]

Thanks for the knowledge dude
