>>72224064
Cool Samus

>>72228143
They're not bad, but their not good either.

For entry level they are a basic table.

Howver, an lp120 does everything it does in spades as long as you are not using the pre amp that is already installed, but has controls to adjust the table to its needs. And an actually decent motor at its price point

>>72228063

use your turntable's built-in camera

>>72226093
no replace bc it is kinda tasteless

>>72228273
Are you going to play each record 30+ times?

They will sound like shit.

Are you going to play a few records on weekends?

They will damage minor, but had you been a decade or more older and seen what all the used records at the record store were played on you'd think the over exaggeration from the internet would be a little more calmed.

upgrade when you can. even buy a cheaper turntable or used midrange with a midranged (100ish) cart and needle if you ever take this hobby seriously

>>72228380
>Are you going to play a few records on weekends?

this to be honest. i got it primarily to rip vinyls via usb, but i do listen to them directly now and then

>>72224064
you better be either under 20 or ashamed

>>72228465
I wouldn't be overly concerned with it.

If you find yourself listening to records a lot more than you currently are, or your collection is growing, upgrade.

In a system the importance goes like this.
Speakers> Speaker Placement> Room/Treatment> Source> Amp

The last three being interchangable

>>72228352
Yeah I agree with you really. I really fell out of death grips too, so it seems especially pointless to me lately. Bought it at a show I went to with my best friend when I was really into them so I guess it kind of evokes good memories. Still, I'll be moving out of my apartment in August, and don't imagine it'll go up wherever I end up next.

>>72228509
what is wrong with his set up?

>>72226205

>speakers on ground

thats a nice deck though. i cannot see the cart, but I am assuming its the original, in which op should replace it

I've had one for a while and it worked fine, and you can get pretty decent sound out of them. The tracing force isn't too heavy either. Definitely better than a crosley.

theyre not bad, some people just hate on them

its not that he LETS me play music on the speakers, its more of me not caring whether not he likes/dislikes what i play

Is the lP60 fine? I've heard that the belt drive doesn't matter all the much as replacing isn't difficult or expensive.

And is a HiFi speaker setup better than headphones? If so, what entry level speakers would you recommend?

is that a cork slip (grip) mat? is there an audible difference in sound?

>>72236825
what is the record ?

>>72239571
Yep! Same as the one here:
https://www.turntablelab.com/products/turntable-lab-cork-record-mat

Short answer: yes

Long answer: Yes, kinda. I went from a felt (the one that comes with the LP120) to this cork and I certainly noticed the dampening at louder volumes. At lower, less vibrating volumes it sounded the exact same. Once I started to turn the volume up I noticed the difference especially on thinner, less weighted, records. If you're someone who doesn't listen to your records loud you probably wont notice.

I thought so, jealous of your pressing.

You can honestly get solid vintage tables for around $100 maybe a little more. Check your local Craigslists ads. Look for something that has a counter weight and anti skate. If you wanna go new you could always go to the Meme tables like the LP120 or U-Turn.

>>72241310
>I thought so, jealous of your pressing.

Dunnow if I trust used ones

Cheers for the advice

What is your budget? If I'm not mistaken the Meme Turns start at like $180 and would probably be the "best" thing you could get for dirt cheap

>>72241492
100-400 dollars

Is it okay to play trough bluetooth speakers or will that majorly fuck up the sound quality?

>>72241533
I would get some better speakers. Again, check your Craiglists you can usually find some solid ones.

Tables I would recommend for your price range:

Bootleg = fanmade/unofficial recordings of live performances

What you're describing there are counterfeit records. Not that anon btw, but I absolutely avoid them, even if they don't have an official vinyl release along with that. I do have one, which is an unofficial Death in June record, I had to grab it out of morbid curiosity.

dont know if youre still here but theyre Aktimate Mini+ powered bookshelf speakers with built in ipod dock, mine came with the little 30-pin bluetooth module (as pictured) so it makes use of a feature i'd otherwise never use. pretty sure theyre australian made you may have trouble finding them if you arent in straya cunt

in reviews they were pretty much always compared to the audioengine a5+ but at a slightly lower price point, no overheating issues and the dope finish i was compelled to buy these. im looking for a sub so they can do my hip hop records better but for most music theyre sound is great and frequency range is perfectly adequate. they get quite loud too in a mid sized room

theyre on a pair of steel speaker stands that i got for cheap cause they were missing top plate spikes and i filled em with sand.

No issues as of yet, but I have only had it since the end of last year.

Hey guys, I've been thinking of updating from an AT-LP 120 to the Pro-Ject 1Xpression Carbon Classic (This beauty right here). Anyone here have any experience with that TT? What would you say about it?
(I know the price tag is a bit higher than most TTs but I can get it at a pretty big discount)

I have Nostalgia Ultra. It's not the most perfect sounding record but considering it's an unofficial counterfeit release of a mastered-for-digital 128 kbps mixtape, it's super fucking impressive. Doesn't sound bad at all
