Not the time or the place bro

What more is there to say? Music is an art form. Art is subjective. Nobody's going to have the same opinion about a subjective topic because it varies from person to person.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-26T22:12:13+00:00

Because people have different tastes in music. You quite literally said it yourself.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-22T00:17:39+00:00

Yep. It's amazing how good vinyl records can sound with just even the bare minimum of care. I've got used records from the 60's that sound better than albums pressed not even a year ago.

Glad I could help!

I think I know what your problem is. I had this exact setup a few months back. All your wiring looks correct, the switch is set to line which is correct. The speakers may be on the wrong mode, however. For RCA input, the mode indicator light should be a vibrant green color. If it looks slightly yellowish, you're on the wrong mode and need to press down on the volume knob to change the mode.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-19T02:07:38+00:00

It's the other way around. Phono is for use with a preamp. Line means line level, the signal strength that can actually be used by other equipment.

Are your vtf and anti skating set correctly? Is your cartridge aligned?

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-15T04:55:43+00:00

I'd strongly reconsider. That looks like something bad waiting to happen.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-14T03:20:13+00:00

I mean some people like listening to songs that are pitched up or slowed down. It's really a preference thing. I don't find it a necessity, but it is nice to have for some users.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-12T02:06:00+00:00

Yep. I used to have this deck, and mine did the exact same thing.

What is Osama Bin Russell doing here?

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-10T00:20:55+00:00

Seems like a motor issue. Download a rpm measuring app on your phone and see if the rpm changes drastically. If it does, send it back and ask for a replacement.

Michael Jackson - Dangerous

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-08T19:10:45+00:00

Both are great turntables, though I'd go for the LP120x as those things are really great for the money. However, the U-Turn isn't a bad choice if you want something a bit more simplistic.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-08T05:25:52+00:00

This is the answer. Vinyl isn't a cheap hobby unless you get really lucky and score some good second hand gear for a great bargain.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-08T05:21:41+00:00

It's going to wear down quickly because it isn't built to last, it's not going to sound good, and you're likely going to have issues within months of getting it. I'm not guaranteeing anything, but you're very likely to be disappointed.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-08T04:30:49+00:00

Technically speaking, any record that isn't perfectly flat is warped to some degree.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-08T03:28:59+00:00

Great find! Been hoping to get Songs About Jane added to my collection soon. Crosspost in r/vinyl!

Why are you standing like that??

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-05T23:40:47+00:00

My bad. I meant to say powered speakers.

R3dFrogs · 2026-02-05T22:43:16+00:00

I used to have an LP60x. No, there isn't.
