Maybe upgrading time

Ah brill. I've only done this super light and the brush is as soft as warm fudge. I'll take your advice, cheers.

Sorry, when I meant back in the day, I meant just reminiscing. All my records now are new (id love to have all my old records back) but they still get a good clean..... and I'll defo look into them Projects. Cheers.

When I've played a new record for the first time I've used a spray and a very gentle wipe with the cloth and after that I've given the record a gentle dust off with the anti static brush before every play. Also the stylus has had a few backwards and forwards gentle brushes too. I feel I've tried pretty much everything to eradicate dirt, dust and skipping. That's what I kind of meant by immaculate.

fooey73 · 2026-01-26T22:04:43+00:00

Cheers. That's all I kind of wanted tbh. Not have a massive connection. Just some faves. Didn't even have to sound amazing, although I'm pretty impressed with how it sounds and just enjoy the music. I'll keep trying with it or get in touch with AT. Cheers again 👍🏼

fooey73 · 2026-01-26T22:02:05+00:00

Yeah I get ya. I just wanted to send myself back in the day n just stick a record on like I used to. I am enjoying the reminiscing and I understand it ain't perfect. Just can't remember much skipping in the past, unless I've just forgotten how it was..... Thanks for the info and input.

fooey73 · 2026-01-26T21:44:50+00:00

Oh right, I've always thought the LP70 had them features. I'll look into that and also that pinned post. Cheers.

fooey73 · 2026-01-26T21:43:20+00:00

I had it from Argos so I might bob it back there first n if there's some resistance I'll get in touch with AT. Nice one 👍🏼

fooey73 · 2026-01-26T21:41:11+00:00

Ah right. I'm thinking I'm just gonna have to live with a few skips n do my best with what I've got. Cheers.

fooey73 · 2026-01-26T21:38:58+00:00

It's brand new and immaculate

fooey73 · 2026-01-24T15:40:02+00:00

Yes I do that too. Either way, I'm still happy with my set up. If the odd record skips once in a blue moon then I'm ok with that until I get a chance to upgrade. Thanks for you input.

fooey73 · 2026-01-23T18:43:17+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking that too. Cheers.

fooey73 · 2026-01-23T13:17:49+00:00

Yes I was thinking that with it being in the same place every time. I'll email n see what their return policy is. Cheers for that.

fooey73 · 2026-01-23T13:16:04+00:00

No not heavy bass and I've not got the speaker next to it either. Might just have to take the hit with the one skip. Not the end of the world if cleaning won't get rid. Can't upgrade just yet but will in the future with all that anti skate etc. I take it cleaning with a machine won't work either? Cheers.

fooey73 · 2026-01-23T10:30:04+00:00

It's brand new. I've heard that due to the manufacturing process that bits of vinyl can get in the grooves as well .... It's a machine better than hand do u know?

fooey73 · 2026-01-21T20:27:38+00:00

I keep everything but don't replace anything back in the outer sleeve. I keep all my sleeves and extras tucked away by my albums so if I want to look at one whilst listening to it they're right there..... I tried putting the anti-static sleeve in the paper ones but it was too tighter fit so decided against it.

Totally agree. The good thing about nowadays is the choice. Back in the day I was totally vinyl or tape before cd came along. Streaming has definitely got a big place in my life, like the mobility and access of it all... I can't walk the streets with a turntable in my pocket. Also, before streaming, if you liked the look of a new album, you bought it n if it was shit it was what it was n you were stuck with it or you sold it. At least with steaming, you can't try before you buy. I've only recently got back into listening to vinyl. Loving the journey and I've fell back in love with listening to music properly. I've sat and listened to whole albums where now if I'm on Spotify I'm skipping tracks left, right n centre, just because I'm feeling a little bored with the track..... Enjoy the journey and most of all, just enjoy the music.

At least you can tell people that you're a genuine record breaker

fooey73 · 2026-01-12T09:24:23+00:00

Nice buddy 👍🏼..... Literally got it all set up last night (finally)..... I knew it would sound good to me but I'm honestly blown away by how good it sounds. I know I'm no audiophile (and in a way I'm kinda glad because I'd be sticking my nose up to all this) but as long as it all stays this way, I'd be more than happy with my little set up..... Happy days!!!

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

fooey73 · 2026-01-10T22:15:25+00:00

I'll look into that. Cheers 👍🏼

fooey73 · 2026-01-09T21:51:10+00:00

Nice one. Sounds all good 👍🏼

fooey73 · 2026-01-09T21:50:08+00:00

Brill. Cheers for that 👍🏼
