If you listen to every old guy with a soap box at a used audio store you will be raving about the illuminati and "FLEA-BAY" in short time. Some people don't have dustcovers. Some do. Some people have 300,000$ turntables, some have free turntables. Do whatever works for you. Slipmats, as in non-rubber mats, are more a DJ thing than a casual/"AUDIOPHILE" thing. peskyplumber posted:What difference does playing without the dust cover make? I figured it would be better for the records if you just kept it on all the time. Same difference spending 8,000$ on cable "lifts" makes. Subjective things that only you can tell.

Alienwarez posted:I've been collecting LP records in preparation for having enough disposable income to buy some entry level equipment, and now that I'm at that point it's time for me to ask about some poo poo that has probably been discussed many times in the thread. Just to let you know you sound like you're already committed to spending a thousand dollars or so. You could just as easily buy a used automatic turntable for 30-75$, buy a new cart/stylus for it (~50$), buy whatever used amp with a phono stage comes your way (30-100$) and plug a pair of headphones into it. You will be very happy with that, I guarantee, until you figure out if you're a weird audiophile or not, whether you're an audio hoarder, or you just want to post on Head-Fi all day about boring kits. If you want a barebones setup you will need: 1) A turntable. If you buy it new make sure it comes with a NEW, UNPLAYED cart. A cartridge is the whole housing that encompasses the needle and four interconnects to the tonearm, that'll probably already be set up or the store will set it up if you buy it new. A needle is just the actual "needle" that sits in the groove ususally connected to some plastic housing/gizmo that aligns it into the cartridge. A headshell is the housing that the cartridge mounts into, its just a thing that holds the cart in alignment on the tonearm. You may need to buy a cartridge. If you're buying used, you NEED a replacement needle for your cartridge (post the cartridge here we'll help) or a new cartridge, which is usually the easier and just as cheap solution. The headshell comes on the turntable (usually, you won't have to worry about this). 2) An amp. Don't get a headphone amp if you're new. Or ever, but that's me. (edit- if you're totally serious about only doing headphones, build your own headphone amp, its really easy, or buy an inexpensive micro amp)Get an amp, literally any amp, that has regular RCA jacks on the front/back that are labeled "PHONO." Before you buy this, 100% make sure the amp does the following: 1) Plugs in to a power source, turns on, and all its buttons that you will use will work. 2) Powers speakers, a pair, and can play them loud enough that you become annoyed. 3) When you plug a turntable in to the "PHONO" stage and put a record on, the record is played as loud as the other functions of the amp (ie radio, if it has one, or at least as loud as it may annoy you). If the turntable has a ground, its nice if the amp has a ground connect on the back, but you can also connect the ground to the chassis. 4) Has a headphone jack, since you listen to headphones. Some will be 1/8" jacks, some will be 1/4", but you can get 50 cent adapters to fix that. Not a big deal. Amps are usually not pretty, and they usually do not fit your decor, just get a cheap amp that sounds good to you to start. 3) Speakers. Two of them because your audio source is stereo, regular unpowered whatever speakers. Plug em in to your amp and play some music through them, turn them up as loud as it takes to annoy you. Do you hear anything that doesn't sound like the music you want to hear? Then don't buy them. You can buy 3,000$ (or 15,000$) speakers that will introduce sound you do not want to hear so just get a cheap pair of speakers that WORK (ie are in sound condition) and that audibly/psychologically sound "right" to you. I seriously recommend listening to like 5-10 speaker pairs before even committing to a pair, just to realize speakers sound different. You can do that for 150$, seriously, or you could get all new kit and blow a couple grand and also be really happy. To add myself, my Braun PS550 is having its power board worked on and I will own the prettiest motherfucking turntable ever. Not an Anthem fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Jul 30, 2013 |

I'm supposed to just put my record directly on the bare metal platter? I'll keep the lovely little foam mat that came with the turntable. It is annoying when it gets static electricity in it and sticks to the record though, I'm thinking about buying some cork and cutting it to fit the platter (since cork slipmats cost like 10x what a sheet of cork costs).

You can hear it through the speakers. If you have problems with hair, buy a dry record brush. It's the single best investment you can make if you have more then a handful of albums or a stylus you care about. Also, they have an anti-static spray at your local grocery store on the detergent aisle. Spray your mat, the floor and the area around your turntable. The cork mat is not a bad idea. It won't hold a charge like a felt slipmat.

If you tap on the cover while playing a record it might skip because you're hitting your turntable, it has nothing to do with the dust cover. Anti static spray: http://www.musicdirect.com/p-7383-nordost-eco-3-anti-static-spray.aspx "Lowers noise floor! Sound stage! (insert drivel)" Ground your turntable, problem solved. If you get lots of dust trying cleaning your apartment more often. If you have gross records, clean them.

I don't have an antenna or anything installed it just comes in, and not on any other input except aux. Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

Does anyone know if this can be fixed? Since you only get this on the Aux input, I'm assuming that the equipment connected to that input is connected via a different/longer cable than the other inputs, try taking a feet or two of cable and coil it up (~5-10" diameter), if that helps you can try putting a ferrite on it, or just leave it coiled up. More general for RFI from AM transmitters: Try making sure the chassis of the amplifier is grounded to mains earth, use properly shielded interconnects where possible (no need for monster cables but coaxial type cable is better at RF rejection than standard patch cords). Failing that, get a bunch of clip on ferrite cores and try sticking them on the various signal cables in your system, sometimes it's the actual speaker cables picking up the signal (they're normally unshielded so are more susceptible to RFI).

Crossposting from the NMD vinyl thread, but I'm looking for a turntable upgrade from my old Kenwood table since my birthday is coming up later this month and I'm wondering if there are any good options besides the Audio Technica 1200 wannabe or the Pro-ject Debut in that ~$300 price range. I'm not too familiar with the brands for the higher-end tables.

(I'm just saying be careful what you get if you're on a tight budget. If you have wood floors the rubber mat can make one hell of a difference, for instance, even though the deck is pretty well damped anyway.)

I was only out the dust cover. Everything else was in perfect condition since it was coming from the repair shop. But yeah test it out and watch out for the cartridge, the shop was going to set me up with the crappiest AT cart and generic headshell they had and I said "gently caress it I've got an ok shure in a technics headshell at home already" so they knocked off $40. Even the dumb stylus light works. I wouldn't even bother replacing the dust cover, but cats like to get on the entertainment... shelf... thing while we're out, so it seems like a good idea to protect the tone arm and I guess as an added bonus there will be less dust/cat hair on the mat. Since it's an M3D it doesn't even have hinges and I'm not planning on getting any really. Dogen fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Aug 2, 2013 |

This was my Dad's. I cleaned it up and now it works.  But it gives off that electronics burning smell a little. I think it's coming from the amp section, but it's hard to tell. I let it run for a few hours on a comfortable listening level, not cranked up. There wasn't any smoke or anything. I'd like to use it, but after a while the smell bothers me. Any ideas?

A quick googling turned this up, though: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=308977 quote:There was a recent thread on a notice Yamaha issued on certain 240V models and I think the A-960 was one of them. Yamaha recommended these models be taken out of service because of some unspecified issued that increased the risk of fire.  And here's the info from the manufacturer itself: http://www.whathifi.com/news/Yamaha-issues-safety-recall-on-amps-30-years-on/ Apparently, Yamaha have recalled a 30+ year old series of equipment and I guess they'll either fix what's causing the issue or send you a replacement part.

For a good looking, good sounding, minimalist/designer-y bedroom setup on the cheap I'd get a pair of white or silver metal Realistic Minimus 7's (often go for $50/pair on ebay and even cheaper on craigslist) and probably a craigslist 8" subwoofer.

What I would really like to do is figure out what parts are failing and replace them, if there are any. I can't see anything that looks like it's burning. There isn't any smoke coming off of anything when it's on either. I don't plan on just using this thing like it's new. It's been sitting in a garage for 12 years. It's probably all full of bugs.

There isn't any smoke coming off of anything when it's on either. Well, one place to start is to simply google and read up as much as you can on the receiver in question. See what parts people have reported having issues with (I saw some references to certain caps and switches failing/smoking when I looked it up for 5 minutes) and see what they did. Audiokarma and its archives are full of obnoxious "audiophile" sperglords but they're also a gold mine of almost every kind of information if you can wade through the dreck. Find PDFs of both the user and service manual online (dead easy). You're definitely going to need the latter if you plan on replacing anything. As for cleaning, go to Costco and buy a 5-pack of canned air computer dusters. Order a Deoxit kit on Amazon and hit all of the switches, potentiometers, and contacts (there are tons of how-to guides online).

I've done a bunch of reading and it looks like I'm lucky and I don't have most of the common problems associated with this receiver. I have found a pair of transistors on the constant current circuit that get pretty hot. They each have their own little heatsink so I think it could be them heating up the old dust. All of the switch lights are burned out, so I'll have to replace them.

Is there a difference with the brush up or down? eggsovereasy posted:I could never tell any difference in sound with dustcover up or down and I have cats, so I keep it down to keep them off my poo poo. Yeah, I don't know about the science of the whole playing with the dustcover on vs. off thing. I won't try and defend it. Just give it a shot. Definitely don't put the record right on the metal platter. I meant adding a DJ-style felt slipmat--on top of the turntable's existing rubber (or whatever) mat is on top of the metal platter--might affect your sound, because the height difference is changing the angle at which your stylus hits the vinyl, and I suppose the material could change the way vibrations are dampened or distributed.

It keeps the disc from attracting dust, and then I just use one of those carbon fiber brushes to give it a quick wipe-off before subsequent plays. ryangs fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Aug 3, 2013 |

I prefer the little brush on the m97xe up, because the bristles actually "play" the grooves themselves a little bit, resulting in a slight echo effect. If you keep your records clean there's actually no point in using it anyhow.

Strangely enough, though, I couldn't find it at any of my neighborhood stereo shops. I dunno. Definitely better than the AT cart I demoed it with. I should A/B it with the cheaper Shure cart I have hanging out in the additional cart slot (to use when my wife want to play one of her .25c bargain bin records). I would say its very clear, I guess? I'm not up on the audiophile lingo. Can't tell any difference brush up versus down. The literature the cart comes with says it has some kind of dynamic stabilization whatsit to help it maintain optimum height or whatever with warped records, so perhaps that would help with whatever vibration the brush might add? Can't hurt to pick up any dust that's fallen on the record since its started (or before, if you are lazy and don't brush before playing).

Dogen posted:I dunno. Definitely better than the AT cart I demoed it with. You wouldn't happen to remember which AT cart that was, would you? I'm planning to buy an AT cart that definitely costs less than that Shure and I kinda wanna know if it's that one. If not, do you maybe remember what color it was?

I wipe each record with a lint free cloth and then a few turns of the carbon fibre, and the Shure brush still gets full of poo poo after a few sides. Can't win.

For what it's worth I like both the AT95e and 440MLa more than the M97xe I used to use. The Shure's high range sounded really weak too me, but maybe I'm just getting old and my high frequency hearing is going bad.

Repair shop guy said it was the cheapest thing he had, knocked off $40 when I passed on it and the headshell. On my old P cart table I had a Shure and an AT and couldn't really tell the difference.
