Your uncle sounds really cool.
I just realised we have the same turntable haha! I've been binge watching your videos and I honestly love them so much! I'm currently building up my own record collection. It's nice to see your vinyl as we have similar music taste and it gives me ideas on what records I should get next!
Happy you’re enjoying the videos!!! I have lots of vinyl videos coming soon. x
Absolutely looovve these videos! Your advice on vinyl is awesome 😌 thanks
Your nails are on point! 🔥
Great content, love your stereo equipment. The furniture you have your stereo setup is called a stereo cabinet which is great for storing all your stereo equipment, as you already have done so. Great job, keep it up. 👍🏻
Thank you so much You really made my day today in this video is really helping me
nice setup, im just starting to discover it good thing i watched first about crosley before i got my turntable.
Your videos are amazing 🤩
Comment any “tips & tricks” for record collecting & care you may have!✨
Also, want to address my shelf since I figured this may be brought up but I did do research prior to make sure it could support the weight of the records. I also know fellow collectors who use the same shelving & I believe Anthony Fantano uses ikea shelves as well.
Technically with it being horizontal I end up with 4 stronger shelves in the bottom row versus if it was vertical I’d only have 2 at the very bottom. The sides are thicker & stronger than the inner shelves regardless of which way you “display” it.
IKEA shelving as a whole is a lot sturdier than the cheap target & Walmart cubicals in which the shelves are typically a very thin piece of plywood that warp quickly. The IKEA ones are a lot thicker & can hold more weight. 💞
I really enjoyed this video! Really easy and well made! Thanks for this.
Hi Olivia, the video is very good and you are a very sweet person.
I have some advice for you - if you will allow me.
1) Use a spirit level to bring the turntable exactly perpendicular to the ground (on both sides of the turntable). If it is not already set, you need to look at the 4 brackets if they can be adjusted to make the leveling. If not, you can put small coins anywhere needed to show 0 level in the spirit level. If you can not do it alone, ask for help. This is very important to have perfect results in the sound, but also not to cause damage to the discs by the needle.
2) The plastics you use for protection look bad when all the records are in place. I personally cut what protrudes above the record so nothing looks bad in my record store. Find a wood veneer from old furniture to support the cut, a 40-50cm metal ruler and a cutter. Calculate how much the plastic cover protrudes and remove it (be careful that the record is not inside when you cut). I wish you a huge collection that will fill your whole life.
Awesome. Well done. Technics cassette deck that’s Gold.
Your record player that says 33 speed will be 33 1/3. It’s just they don’t always write that. So all your records will be playing at the right speed:)
I don’t have 3 speed options, I only have two. My button can only lock on the two it shows. (Push it in for 45rpm, push it out for 33rpm) So if it plays 33 1/3 on the 33 setting then it doesn’t play 33 at all.
Thanks so much for getting back to me. Yes, I guess your device says 33 or 45 but the 33 means 33 1/3. It’s probably labelled that as many are. All the records made are pressed for 33 1/3 speed. There is no 33 only option. I think in your video you are concerned about something you needn’t be.
@@rowenamiller1412 thank you!!! I appreciate you informing me & also being polite about it xx
No problem. It’s a pleasure to help you:)
Yay @Rowena! Nice to see support instead of shaming.
Hi Olivia, after watching I would like to add my advice to enhance your listening pleasure. Nice stereo but I would suggest you upgrade the speakers into at least bigger bookshelf ones.Reason being is they are too small to emit good sound and 4 ohms. Best speakers for stereos are 8 ohms even if the stereo takes 4 as it solves overheating. I do own a pair of tower JBL and they sound amazing. I myself am a vintage collector and while my stereos are pioneer and nikko from the late 70s and early 80s, really believe that its hard to beat technics esprcially in the cd and turntable department. As for turntable i have a Sanyo and Hitachi which uses an audiotechnica stylus.
I buy all my inner sleeves from either Spincare or MoFi. I don't know about MoFi, but Spincare offers rounded ('Japanese') poly sleeves, which I highly recommend for 7 and 10 inch. For 12" I recommend the MoFi Master Sleeve or the Spincare Audiophile inner sleeves (they're essentially the same).
Also, for those with a Hifi stereo system, a graphic equalizer is an absolute must! I can't begin to describe how much it will improve your sound. I've never heard an equalizer that didn't improve the sound drastically, so just about any old EQ will do. They shouldn't be hard to come by, and they're worth every single penny. Essential stuff, take my word for it.
Great tips! Enjoyed the vid👍
Your setup is very smart . You have your turntable far enough away from your other components and especially your receiver. This means that things won't overheat as easily. It also means your cartridge won't be affected by the transformer in the receiver Amp. If turntable is too close you might get a humming noise but you already know that .
Hey, you should check out japanese style innersleeves :) They fit really snug around the vinyl and almost fit in everything!
Love Your Videos
Nice Video Olivia!
Hey Olivia! we have the same turntable (albeit different colours). I've paired mine with a brand new pair of Edifier active speakers. The turntable has a preamp built in and the Edifier active speakers have a built in amplifier, so I'm able to just plug in the speakers and play my music. It is an absolutely brilliant minimal setup for anyone who doesn't like separate components. :) It's a great little turntable if you're starting out too. I was gifted an Akai suitcase by my girlfriend at the time which started me off nicely, but when we broke up, I replaced it with the ATLP60 and I've never looked back :)
I thought I would share some of my own Tips and Tricks (from personal experience)
1. DON'T BUY PVC OUTER SLEEVES. I learned the hard way. a chemical reaction occurs over time and will leave a horrific residue on the record surface which isn't removeable and is audible on playback. I'm no expert, but one of my Jack Savoretti records was nearly ruined because I stored it in a PVC sleeve. Thankfully I heard they were awful and quickly replaced them with similar ones to the ones seen here :)
2. It's a good idea to replace your inner sleeves with anti-static ones. Many of the paper inners disintegrate over time and can leave residue/paper shavings on the vinyl surface. While this can be cleaned, the paper will scratch your records when you remove/replace them in the sleeve. I almost lost a super rare Star Wars Episode III record because the inner sleeve was slowly disintegrating all over the vinyl! They can be pretty pricy but here in the UK I can recommend the brand SpinCare.
I was gifted a pack of 100 of those sleeves for Christmas, and they turned out to be absolutely brilliant. I believe you can get a pack of 100 on amazon for £35 approx (but I think the Spincare website may have them slightly cheaper.). Spincare also have a test product set for £3 which gives you one of every outer and inner sleeve product they do for every size of record (7",10" and 12") so you can decide which of their products work for you. I've ordered one so I will update once it has arrived if you like?
I know a lot of people recommend the Mofi inner sleeves, however they are super pricy for what they are (in the UK at least! This may differ overseas). Spincare is just one of many brands that have their own version, but for a much more affordable pricetag. What I will say is if you want your vinyl to stay pristine and playable for years to come, definitely replace the inner sleeves. It's an investment, and you may find it easier to do it over time for your entire collection when you can afford to, but I highly recommend doing this to prolong your collection, further :)
3. I can recommend a spin-cleaner for easy cleaning of multiple records at once. I got the Big Fudge Record Friend and it comes with everything you need, the spin cleaner, a drying rack, a towel, a microfibre cloth and two bottles of cleaning solution. you just pour water in them and pop your records in, and turn them clockwise three times and anti-clockwise three times, then take them out of the cleaner with the provided cloth and towel the excess off, and place it on the included drying rack and that's it. I spent 3 days cleaning and re-sleeving 200 records and it was very straightforward. highly recommended. Again lots of brands do the same kind of thing.
4. I would advise against keeping original shrink wrap on your LPs. Over time they can stick to the sleeve and can damage the artwork if you try to remove it afterwards. I've only ever had that happen to me once but this was a record that was kept in the shrink wrap it came in in the 80s, they cut open the side to access the records. when I tried to remove this, it ripped strips off of the back of the gatefold and left white streaks on the back, which wasn't ideal. But I may just be a little unlucky, I guess haha :)
This is a lovely, very informative video, especially for people just starting out with vinyl collections! thank you for this. :D
Thanks for the detailed response!! Love the tips you shared & time but into this. Thanks so so much xx
@@OliviaRena you’re very welcome. I’ve been enthusiastic about vinyl for just over 2 years now, ever since I was given the Akai. 🙂 I’ve made many mistakes when it comes to vinyl so it’s always good to share these experiences so others can avoid them and get more enjoyment out of it. All it takes is one thing to go wrong and you could be put off the hobby completely. (as I very nearly was quite early on...)
Hi! The container store has a wire basket that is perfect for 7" records and it runs for like $14 I think and its about 10" long so it holds quite a few records!
I like your channel I’m actually thing about doing something similar, I recommend finding a used turntable Technics Denon Sansui Bang and Olsen something fully automatic direct drive , a moving magnetic
Needle /Stylus set up , garage sales thrift stores flea markets you can find for a slow as $25
I have at least 30 different turntables you also can by a used turntable with a $200 needle on it so be on the look out for those .thanks for sharing enjoy you music!
Early! Love your videos!!
great set up i like that younger people are getting into vinyl (records) every body has to start some were i'am glad you upgraded your turntable you might try your uncles turntable older gear is great i have owned 2000's stuff but i went back to 70's and 80's gear it just sounds better to me but i have newer speakers because they are much better and thats all that matters you might try putting your speakers out in the open or open the doors when you listen to your stereo if you already don't bass is ok because it is nondirectional but treble needs to be out in the open if you know what i mean i'am 52 years old i got my first stereo when i was six for xmass so i could listen to my records in my room i like your channel i always like your videos but i don't allways comment do things your way dont let trolls get to you thank you for your content john ps mofi inner sleeves are great
Just noticed the last of us soundtrack, awesome!
I have had a turntable that played LP's the way the waster was cut i.e the MARANTZ TT143 where the tonearm is part of the lid and would only play with the lid down and was part of a stacking system where there were sockets on the top and bottom of the amplifier that mated up with the cassette deck and the tuner that mounted on top which the turntable sat on and connected to the cassette deck and also had a control ribbon cable which would let the cassette deck control the turntable, But I reckon that the REVOX B795 would be the be all and end all of record players but there is also a MARANTZ TT520 which is also worth looking at, but if you don't want any needles anywhere near your LPs but still want to listen to them the the Japanese made ELP Laser turntable is the way to go which uses 5 lasers to play the LP i.e 2 to track the lands of the grooves 2 to read the music out of the grooves and 1 to find the thickness of the LP and is drawer loading, just one sticking point it costs $16,000 Dollars US.
i'm the same as you i know not much of vinyl records but i grew up with records playing all the time the last couple of years started collecting more now i'm 19 i'm running out of space so need to get bigger storage
Thanks for your video😎 Just wanted to ask if you got a sub together with does satellite speakers? There should be...
also do you have a collection for your cds?
I would recommend some Elac speakers :)
Still can’t believe you have SuperMarket and Everybody vinyl! My gosh I’ve been looking for those for over 1 year Lol!!
I got supermarket from the shop when it released, had no idea how limited it was lol.
@@OliviaRena Hey olivia please make video on cassette storage care nd protection..please😊
Yes I would recommend getting your uncle to fix but nice set up
Thanks
Would you recommend getting a vinyl cleaning kit I only use an anti static brush to clean my vinyls
If you buy used records especially yes! But I’d recommend one in general, it’s great if there’s light scratches that may appear over use.
What vinyl player is this?? Is it worth it? Have you noticed any damage to your records? Also what CD player do you have?? Totally need one
Pro tip: get your picture discs out of those PVC sleeves if you intend on listening to them. If you don't intend on listening to them, go ahead and drill a few holes in them and tack them to the wall, because it will be less unsightly than what offgassing from PVC will make them look like.
Okay buddy thanks
Olivia, Please take no offense, but perhaps you should explore tuning up your uncle's turntable (TT) in the garage. Unless you are spending a large amount of $ on a TT, a vintage TT is better than an inexpensive modern TT.
No offense here! It is very old, I’m not even sure what model it is or anything. But I know in the long run it’d be more beneficial to have an older turntable versus modern ones & may cost around the same anyway. I love my current turntable though.
new vinyl record
You're cute. I love to watch people living their passion. Thanks for that video. The only thing I'd recommend is to upgrade your speakers to some bigger ones to get a better sound. Your amp seems to be too powerfull for these tiny speakers.
Hey Olivia! After I commented on this video through my main channel (GordonHorneOfficial), I finally got to thinking that I would love to join the Vinyl Community here on youtube, which is what I've done with this channel!
It was mainly this video specifically, that inspired me to go ahead and have a go at making videos of my own, so I just wanted to thank you personally for giving me the motivation for that :D.
I'm hoping I can provide entertaining content and helpful advice when it comes to the hobby in all its forms and talk about my past experiences as someone relatively still finding his feet with it :)
Just started doing vynal. My uncle bought me a Crosley...
Now I'm not sure what to do...
I’m looking to buy my first turntable, any good suggestions? I’m 19 and have no money or job (corona🥺) so I need a cheap one
🙏 thanks

It is 33 and a third it is not listed....you could put an app on your phone to test the speed.
i've heard from someone that records warp over time if you keep them in the original plastic but not sure if it's actually true, i haven't done enough research on it /:
I’ve been keeping them in the plastic since I first started collecting, I don’t know if 4 years is long enough but I haven’t had any warping issues. I’ve even purchased “vintage” records with plastic & there’s no warping either! I only leave it on single LP’s as doubles I want to open the gatefold. x
Are you referring to the shrink wrap? Ive heard that too, And I suppose it could happen. If the record has been opened, or the plastic has been cut then there is nothing to worry about.
@@thevinyltruffle Actually, once the record has been opened or the plastic cut is when you need to worry, the opened side no longer exerts pressure and the other three do. You can see this because the pressure will "bow" the jacket open.
yayy im finally earlyyy
do you know if all crosleys are bad. i have the Vintage Crosley CR-67 and i’m worried it’ll ruin my records.
if your tonearm doesn't have a counterweight, the cartridge is killing your records.
Do you put picture discs in plastic outer sleeves too?
I also have that question
Yes, because their packaging is terrible from the start. I cannot stand the plastic they come in it’s horrible.
Thanks
@@OliviaRena thank you
So how do you store picture discs in a way that you can still see the full picture? I have two the Camila Cabello lot picture disc and the senorita 7 in picture disc
Do you mean both sides? Cause I’m not sure there’s a way to aside from the clear plastic it comes in but you can’t really display both sides. If you frame it you can see a single side very clearly.
@@OliviaRena no I meant if there’s any clear sleeves that protects them more than the clear plastic they come in already
@@htx_paolaaa2011 Record sleeves. The same ones I use in this video for my LP's I also use on picture discs, just adds a bit more protection to them.
have you ever changed the needle of your turntable? i’ve heard you should after some time but i don’t know any good brands.
Yes! I’ve purchased replacements from audio technicas website & amazon, I stick with the same style my turntable had to begin with as I’m not experienced in changing it.
I have few vinyls but Im more worried about the artwork then the lp itself. I think the cardboard artwork is supee fragile.
gimme a heart pls pls😌
So maybe you can settle a debate with my gf haha...when you say alphabetical order do you use the artist's first or last name? 🤔
Last name
Keeping the vinyl in the original inner sleeves is sketchy the longer you intend to keep them. Paper causes dust, so even inner plastic-lined paper sleeves will shed over time. Of course, if you deep clean the record, maybe that's not such a big deal. It's enough of a worry for me that I switch most of them out.
