Get that Crosley yet, /mu/?
>>54021559jesus
Why are plebs so fucking stupid?
Jesus Christ, who gets rid of a record player from the 70s? I would pay thousands for that if it still works. Fuck.
>>54021687i plan on getting a record player soon, can you let me know what makes them a pleb/ stupid?i'll be spending a fair amount of $$$ and don't want to get something shitty.
>>54021559>vinyls
>>54021559This made me legitimately mad
absolutely disgusting
>>54021701they destroy your records and sound like shit. If you are looking for a new the pro-ject carbon or rega rp1 are the cheapest players that aren't ass.
>>54021701>no counter weight>gimmicy suitcase look>WILL warp your recordsAt least get an AT if you want to shell out that cash
>>54021730>>54021728oh damn, wtf. thanks for the heads up.
>Anon, come rub my feet while we listen to vinyls on the Crosley.
>>54021701Crosleys, and most cheap record players out there, lack the functions of a proper turntable. This leads to poor sound quality and potential damage to the media. These features include, but aren't limited to:>Tonearm counterweight>Antiskating function>Replaceable cartridges>Adjustable pitch controlThere is a reason those old turntables are heavy, its because they have a lot in them. All that shit and functionality costs money and effects the size of the product. Almost any decent turntable is going to have some heft to it.
straight up mu, is my set up pleb?
>>54021777makes sense, and good to know. earlier did a quick google of 'crowsley' and i kept finding ones <100dollars and honestly who the fuck would want to spend less than 100 on something like a record player, that kinda just screamed 'cheap' to me but thanks for being informative for once /mu/

>>5402180315 year olds who dont know shit, I had a jenson that was ~110 for a while
>>54021792where are your speakers?
Since we're on the subject, I was wondering if anyone knew if this was good or no. It looks like it wouldn't be top quality but I don't know shot about record players. I found this at my parents' house the other day thiugh
>>54021713It's bordering on satire at this point.
>>54021841nooooooooooooooooAll in one units suck universally
>>54021559The record player on the left probably is kind of shitty, since it's an all-in-one unit. It'd still be better than a croslel, though.
>>54021858Kinda what I figured. It looks shitty and the needle arm feels like it doesn't have a counterweight
>>54021840on the sides
>>54021909oof. should change that. Dont want the vibrations from the speakers fucking with the record spin/groove reading.
>>54021877You should be able to tell pretty easy if it has a counterweight or not. It's literally a weight on the arm, like you'd have used in basic grade-school physics or something.
>>54021918thanks man, im getting an ikea shelve or some bullshit to replace what i have it on
People who buy vinyl exclusively are just as bad as people who own crosleys.
>>54021966People who make comments like this are just as bad as people who own Crosleys
>>54021966I buy cassettes and CDs too
>>54021966>like anyone buys vinyl exclusivelyI personally only by vinyl that I know I'll like. Also i cant listen to vinyl in my car
>>54022013But you can plug an aux cord into your phone in your carCD's are irredeemable garbage.
>>54022036I didnt say anything about cds but youre right, mostly
>>54022013You should only buy vinyl if it was recorded on tape. >>54022036Yes, cause cheap mp3s you bummed off someone else are way better than lossless PCM audio discs.
>>54021696Glad I have one.I need to find some of the stuff to get it in working order though. The table itself and the monitors are fine. The system is missing some shit in the back.
>>54022077>You should only buy vinyl if it was recorded on tape.For fucks sake it's a merch thing. If I go to live show and I like it I buy either shirt or vinyl.
>>54021559Umm excuse me but wtf is up with that bitch's face
Fuck tumblr
>>54022077I use spotify for my phone
>>54022125Vinyl is a cool format, it has specific uses.Listening to digital music on vinyl is asinine. Musicians would make far more money if they didn't have to worry about a vinyl release because their crappy fans need some type of superficial reason to do the right thing and buy their music instead of stealing it.
>>54022222Even worse.
>>54021687fuck
>>54022125Also, if it's purely a merch/collecting thing, then isn't cute little crosley players fitting?
>>54022253not really
>>54022295>listening to music on a phone witch have shitty DACs with spotify as the source.
>>54022295>There's nothing wrong with ~160 kbps audio
>>54022332>not having it at 320 kbps
>>54021728The project essential II is pretty decent too
>>54021687will there ever be a black nick drake?
essential crosley-core:Lana Del ReyArctic MonkeysThe 1975The Black KeysThe xxAny pop-punkfeel free to add
>>54022036>they're more functional, but they don't have any gimmicks so I can't stand themThis is seriously how stupid you sound, you fucking trendy faggot.
>>54022622T Swift
>>54022622The Smiths and Joy Division(but UP only)
>>54022631>the progression of technology doesnt fit in with my world viewThis is seriously how stupid you sound, you fucking ancient faggot
>>54022622shame i actually know friends who have all these
>>54021792>Dat JVCAw shit nigga, my dad has that one. He bought it new in 1978, and we still use it almost daily. Good stuff.

>>54021760>playing records on a crosley on a bed.wtf are you doing?
>hey anon, come put nickles on the needle with me>w-we can cuddle to measurements
>thinking a player is good just because it's from the 70sfucking idiots
>>54024565>thinking anything can be worse than crosley
>>54024259oh my fucking god
>>54022622Jack White
>>54022332 Anything less than 320kbps has a considerable effect on frequencies below 40Hz and above 18kHzThis is why 256kbps is the absolute absolute bare minimum for DJing, and that's only if it's an amazing tune
>>54025264shut up u fucking loser you don't even know what sample rate is
What kind of basic amp and speakers should I get for my ATLP120? I got one for my birthday but my parents didn't realize I needed that stuff.
>>54025467>my parents didn't realize I needed that stuff.Are they retarded? They didn't even realize you need speakers?
>>54025487Well they got me some trash computer speakers
>>54021760get a real avetts album or get out
>>54022622AdeleOf Monsters and MenVampire Weekend
>>54021726>that girl on right smiling and trying to get a better lookkek channer spotted
>>54021792Looks alright to me.the record player is nice too.
>>54021559any of you know anything about turntables? I haven't used mine in a while and I tried to use it yesterday but I noticed the volume in one of my main speakers was lower than the volume level of the other. The speakers are equally loud when I watch a movie though. Any idea what the issue could be for those of you with expertise
>>54021559She replaced a shitty player for an equally shitty one, so what?
>>54022282no because he never meant to play them. i buy them at shows too and see if i can get it signed.
>>54021713Shit taste in books too
>>54024259at least she knows the player is a piece of shit
So are AT's terrible turntables?I got one a few months ago as a placeholder. I have a really old turntable (probably from the 80's) that needs a little TLC. I don't have the specs on me right now since I'm at work.I was told ATs aren't bad. Is it true?
>>5402641960s are shit, 120s are ok
>>54022622spot on

kek the horror
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pKnGdxaINMMy best friend and I own a pretty big collection of vinyl we amalgamated when we moved in together.we both almost cried at this video
>>54022622I like Tame Impala, but unfortunately them too
>>54021760Hozier is awesome love that guy
>>54026559You and your friend sound like a couple of real faggots.
>>54026090check ur wiring
>>54022622neutral milk hotel, talking heads, nick drake, radiohead, etc
poasting the classic which started it all
>>54026993
>>54021728not trolling or anything but you don't think it's a bit of a jump to say that a $500 turntable is the cheapest solution to listen to vinyl casually?$500 is a lot of money my dude and there are entry level options that will do the job just fine without damaging your records
>>54027052at lp 120 costs less than half that and is completely fine
>>54026948to add to this: flying lotus, GSYBE, kavinsky, interpol
>>54021701>no counterweight>no anti skate>ceramic cartridge>built in speakers sound like shit>no dust cover>record hangs off the edge while playingIf you want to buy new, the least you can spend for something good is the AT LP-120, which I think is about $200, but you're generally better off buying used.
>>5402224390% of the reason i buy vinyl is because i want to support the artists that i love and i want to have a physical copy of the artwork, the liner notes and all the extra cool stuff that comes along with the package.I've already got a lossless rip of the album - odds are I had it from a leak before the album even dropped - but what's better is sitting down with the album and really getting to know every word, the influences of the band and even where the written lyrics differ from performed. >asinineYou do you, I'mma do me.
>>54027052>>54027074idk. i got an altp120 for 250, a receiver for 50, and some klipsch speakers for 150.idk, this is all pretty bare minimum for quality sound if you ask me.i don't recommend getting into vinyl unless you have a good-paying job and your financial situation is lax
>>54027098tf is wrong with interpol?
>>54022222Good quintuples
>>54027129I musta bought it when amazon was having it on sale, i got mine for 169 or something, my speakers are legacy magnavox from my father and the reciever was a 20 dollar thrift store buy that works just fine
>>54027129I thought the at 120 sounded alright. Granted there's better, but I don't think it's terrible
>>54024259>Murdering beautiful James BlakeI would need the warm touch of a dumb qt to survive that
>>54027074this is what i'm getting at. You can get a turntable for less than $500 and still be able to enjoy the records and some of these guys are going right off the rails giving out this idea that a $450 turntable is the bare minimum.>>54027129my issue isn't about the whole set up, it's the price for a turntable alone>>54026419>>54026441that's bullshit. the 60 is not shit, it's fine for standard usage and assuming the rest of your audio set up is low-midrange it's not going to be the bottleneck
>>54027210I got a 60 and I thought it was ok.I just started getting into vinyl and I Was told this is a good beginner turntable. I'll upgrade eventually but I just got this thing in January so right now I don't see a need for it
>>54027210The 60 isn't bad at all, I agree. but I'd just rather save for a better TT or buy a used technics etc. what's the point in spending on the 60 if you're eventually going to upgrade to a TT with counterweight and better options for swapping cartridges.
So long as I continue to use an LP60 and Bose speakers, I am reticent to criticize others' setups.
>>54027129>>54027074>>54027052why not just buy used? you can buy a good older record player for $100 or a lot of times people who just have them collecting dust and dont know their value so you can get one for really cheep at yard sales or craigslist sometmes.
>>54027396some people, like me, live in areas with no real thrift store scene and not a lot of craigslist action. i used to live in a big city where craigslist got me jobs, buyers, sellers, etc. but where i live now craigslist is for advertisers and local bored housewives looking for 'nanny' or housesitting jobs. i tried doing the thrift thing for a record player but i was getting nowhere so i broke down and bought an at120 brand new and i don't regret that decision
>>54027396Call me paranoid, but I've had a bad history buying usedI would get scratched up shit, dings.One time I bought a GameCube from a guy at a yard sale For $10.I go home to try it out and the things was full Of spiders. I found the eggsack inside the side vents of the thing.Shithead didn't even give my money back
>butchering vinyl the right wayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5haFnmvCIzE
>>54027396when you buy used you run the risk of buying something that someone has rewrired, tampered, replaced with shit parts plus you're completely at the mercy of the market. by all means if you find a good one for $100 that's great but you can just buy a new low-end and upgrade it as you go, then when you outgrow it - sell that and put it towards a higher end one
>>54027727I was intrigued, and also cringed.
>>54027810>buy a new low-end and upgrade it as you gowithout an adjustable counterweight you cant fit a better cart, youre stuck with whatever came with it because thats what the arm is set up and fixed at. theres nothing you can change or upgrade on things like the AT-LP60
>>54027945This, low end in this case would mean something around the $300 range, in that range upgrading becomes a better investment than buying a better player.Collecting records is an expensive hobby, if you can't afford a decent player then reconsider why you're getting into it.
