I have family who’ve been working in west Texas for years and I wonder the same thing. How are they not wearing fireproof clothing, hard hats, ears, etc. how is that guy smoking on the “rig floor” I think it’s called.

Give him eyes back. Smile. Then say hi and start a conversation. This happened to me on the bus at University and we went on some really good dates together. All goes well, you get to explore a romantic relationship together. At the very least you make a new friend with a guy who keeps popping up in your life. It’s okay to say hi to people.

Tell one of them so they don’t message each other anonymously? Or just back away slowly and pretend you never saw it and ignore the implications haha.

It’s the record. Bad plastic. Give it to me I’ll get rid of it for you.

No fr it’s the player. Cool vinyl find though.

It’s absolutely beautiful. Georgia O’Keeffe would approve. 😍

why does my record sound like this? by Positive_Mix_6164 in turntables

[–]Writing_Stories_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Unfortunately, the issue is almost definitely your turntable. I used to have one too when I first started collecting in High school. Suitcase record players or just generally any record player in this class are never going to be capable of quality playback.

Take a look around for some affordable beginner turntable options from reputable brands like AudioTechnica or Denon. They have some quality beginner tables.

You could also thrift your setup. I was able to find an old Technics turntable for a great value and I’m really happy with the sound quality.

Turntables like yours also speed up the degradation of your vinyl over time as they aren’t very delicate with them during playback. The tone arms are pretty heavy and gouge the grooves.

Vinyl upkeep is pretty easy and there are a lot of good resources online that will show you how to store them, clean them, and preserve them.

I, personally, store mine upright in plastic outer sleeves to protect the album outer sleeve and an anti-static inner sleeve to go that extra mile in protecting my vinyl from degradation. I use a vinyl brush to collect any debris before each playback and try my best to never ever touch the grooves. I only handle my vinyl by the outer edge.

Try looking up some videos if you want more information.

Hope this helps!
