    Thanks so much for the cool videos! I'm 17 and I just got into records. I always hated them, but whenever I sat down with my dad one day listening to Revolver, I was immediately turned to the format. We bonded over records and now he takes me along on flea markets to go crate digging. It is so much fun!!

    • @vinyleyezz
      @vinyleyezz  Před 8 lety +7

      +Adrian Guardiola that's awesome! That's a great example of how music can help us all bond. I had a similar experience with my dad when we were listening to an album from The Four Seasons that he'd remembered from his childhood! Take care!

    okay but what if my record player doesn’t have a counterweight

      then it sucks

    • @jacksong6226
      @jacksong6226 Před 5 měsíci

      It could be adjusted my a spring or have a fixed counterweight (like a P mount system) but there isn’t anything you can do about it

  • @joshheartsasd

      +Vinyl Eyezz Hey I had a question hopefully you can help me put. So I bought an audio technica lp120 from amazon and I got it yesterday. I got with it the Ortofon 2m red cartrdige pre mounted to a red Ortofon headshell. Will I have to use a protractor to align it with my turntable? I don't have a scale to check the tracking force like in your videos. I'm confused haha

  • @carlospaz1998
    @carlospaz1998 Před 5 lety +2

    I have one question, my record player is Fram the 90's is a kendoow, but it doesn't have the option to set the tonearm weight, what can I do? In one video of this channel I saw that the safe weight is between 1.5 to 3.5 grams, but I don't know if the weight of my tonearm is between this numbers. Please someone help me.

  • @H_bomb_
    @H_bomb_ Před 6 lety

    Is the counterweight an upgradable 'accessory' like a cartridge etc?
    I cant adjust mine with ease as its old like the turntable, can I swap one out for another or are CWs model specific?
    Cheers :)

  • @KJ-ln3nv
    @KJ-ln3nv Před 5 lety +2

    Is it supposed to be balanced When its back or When its Down cause when I set it down again it always goes slowly down

  • @tomlee6076
    @tomlee6076 Před 2 lety

    Hey! I tried balancing counterweight on my Fenton RP162 so that it almost falls off, but the needle still seems to hit the turntable mat (can't locate anti-skate if there is one), could it be that counterweight is just too light? Not very expensive vinyl, but not cheap as well...

  • @alexandermattiaspezoamarch7079

    I have an Argon TT-2 and after seeing your video, paranoid as I am I readjusted the arm after your interactions put am wondering if my tonearm had to much front weight how fast would I know that is damaging my records? I've had my record player for 2 years now and I haven't notice any difference in sound och notice that my rovers had been damaged. Should I been in the clear? HELP!

  • @TheSamson8
    @TheSamson8 Před 4 lety

    I have a pro ject essential and I can not get it to balance, if I move the weight all the way back it does but then I close the dust cover and it pushes the weight forward... can anyone give me a hand with this.. thank you

  • @skillracoonful
    @skillracoonful Před 5 lety

    Is the tonearm balance if there's no change to it even if I raise and lower the cueing device?

  • @romerolemstra8747
    @romerolemstra8747 Před 2 lety

    If you may see this and respond to it, I have a question, what is the difference between a S shaped tonearm and a straight tonearm?

  • @GhostlyFilm
    @GhostlyFilm Před 7 lety

    I've tried moving that tracking force but isnt the point to have that tone arm just heavy enough to be able to drop onto the record?

  • @GhostlyFilm
    @GhostlyFilm Před 7 lety +8

    The tone arm will never stay on the record... It always just floats back to the tone arm holder

    • @wedfrest
      @wedfrest Před 5 lety +1

      The Guy Who Games Make sure anti skate is on zero.

  • @paulgraham421
    @paulgraham421 Před 3 lety

    Why does the counter weight have to be set to zero after you balance the tonearm. What happens if i don't set it to zero.

  • @DanielSouzaCabral
    @DanielSouzaCabral Před 8 lety +1

    1:32 counter clockwise, and counter weight. wow.

  • @markmiller3713
    @markmiller3713 Před 4 lety

    This might be stupid, by what causes the tone arm to actually move whilst the record is being played?

  • @MisterMetalFan666
    @MisterMetalFan666 Před 8 lety +2

    How offten would you recommend checking the counter weight and tracking force? I have seen views that range from, only if you move your turn table to every time you play a record.

    • @vinyleyezz
      @vinyleyezz  Před 8 lety +1

      +Metal Fan Dave I feel that checking it every time you play a record is a bit much. If I'm not moving my turntable around, I usually only check my tracking force once a month, if that. Essentially, after you set it up properly, unless you move the turntable or disrupt it in any way, then the tracking force won't change drastically.

  • @keideshramnanansingh815

    What pre amp do you use?

  • @arielrodriguez6980
    @arielrodriguez6980 Před 2 lety

    What is considered a heavy tonearm? Is it like 11 grams or has to be more?

  • @KingQuanProductions
    @KingQuanProductions Před 8 lety +27

    When i try to balance the tone arm it keeps moving back to the arm rest slowly when i trying to balance it over the turntable mat

    • @vinyleyezz
      @vinyleyezz  Před 8 lety +7

      Make sure the anti-skate is set to 0. Then it'll stay in place.

    • @tsetso8
      @tsetso8 Před 7 lety +3

      Hi to both! I have the very same problem on a BRAND NEW Audio-Technica lp 120 even when the anti-skating is put at 0! Jarrett any thoughts pls? This is a problem number two that I have (the first i just put at the height adjustment video). Coming up with number 3 at the antiskating video. Pleased to hear!

    • @nigelmiller5609
      @nigelmiller5609 Před 7 lety +3

      This is happening to me too, my anti-skate is set at 0 yet it still moves. I'm thinking about returning it and getting a new one.

    • @truthseeker9243
      @truthseeker9243 Před 6 lety +1

      Vinyl Eyezz hi I wonder if you can help me on this one please. I have the same problem. I set anti skating to zero and tone arm stop swinging back, how ever would that effect operation of anti skate .?

    • @annikar7609

  • @itsleandertv
    @itsleandertv Před 8 lety +4

    Hey Jarrett, is there a difference between an S shaped tone arm and a non S shaped tone arm? I've been told that and S shape tone arm is better, but no one is able to tell me why.

    • @vinyleyezz
      @vinyleyezz  Před 8 lety +4

      Good question! Well from what I've read, the S shaped tone arm might track the grooves better, but honestly this could be a matter of opinion. I feel that if the cartridge is aligned properly, then it really doesn't matter which arm you have!

    • @MisterMetalFan666
      @MisterMetalFan666 Před 8 lety +1

      +Leander From what I have read, the shape of the tone arm is merely cosmetic, and bears no difference at all. However I am no pro and that could be wrong.

    • @deepend9376
      @deepend9376 Před 8 lety +3

      +Vinyl Eyezz
      Sorry for the technical bits that follow:-
      "S" shaped tonearms keep the arm pivots at 90 degrees to the cartridge so when going over any warps there are no additional side forces on the stylus i.e. the stylus tracks correctly. To keep the forces on the arm pivots equal another weight is sometimes used to balance the cartridge/part of the arm increasing the overall mass.
      Simple straight arms can be lighter as they do not need the extra weight but the resultant angle (~22 degrees above the 90) between the arm pivots and cartridge can mean the side forces generated on warps can affect the forces/tracking of the stylus in the groove causing the image to shift.
      Complex straight arms keep the benefit of the lower overall mass but have the pivot points angled to avoid the side forces. A good example of this is the Rega RB300.
      However the quality of the arm has a bigger influence on the sound than if it's straight or "S" shaped!!

  • @johnhernandez7523
    @johnhernandez7523 Před 8 lety +2

    Hello GREAT channel! I noticed you have a LPT-120....I do as well and I'm having issues with the hydraulic cueing mechanism...apparently it just drops the stylus rather than softly placing it on the groove. My turntable is less than a month old...any feedback?

    • @vinyleyezz
      @vinyleyezz  Před 8 lety

      +John Hernandez I'd recommend sending it back for a replacement. It's not supposed to do that

    • @johnhernandez7523

  • @bwhite220
    @bwhite220 Před 8 lety +2

    Thanks, Jarrett! Quick question for you, I have seen a number of videos where people have there turntable setup with a light shining directly on to the platter. I see yours is setup that way too. Can you tell me what the light is for and if there are certain types of lights to look for? Thanks again for all that you do!

    • @vinyleyezz
      @vinyleyezz  Před 8 lety

      Great question! I feel that most people, including myself, have a light there so we can see the grooves of the black vinyl better. That way we can easily drop the needle where we want it. It's difficult to see the fine details of the record without it! Hope that clears it up for you!

    • @bwhite220
      @bwhite220 Před 8 lety +1

      Makes sense, +Vinyl Eyezz. Appreciate the insights! Can I ask, what kind of light are you using? I've started to search for one but am finding big, bulky desk lamps instead of the kind you have. I'd like to get one that isn't so bright and bulky. Thanks man!

    • @vinyleyezz

    I have a record player from my dad that was made in 1986. It has a p mount tone arm, there is no anti counterweight or anti skate device? Isn't this bad?

    • @jacksong6226
      @jacksong6226 Před 5 měsíci

      If Its P mount it actually has both they just cannot be adjusted (don’t worry they all came within spec from factory)

  • @Mr.Truxton
    @Mr.Truxton Před 4 lety

    Please somybody answer me. Does it need to be so that the stylus doesn't even touch the mat in the lowered position?

    • @gregorofthehillpeople4685
      @gregorofthehillpeople4685 Před 4 lety

      Yes. When the tone arm is balanced to the cartridges tracking force, the tone arm will be positively balanced towards the plater.

  • @indyvinylz
    @indyvinylz Před 8 lety +1

  • @bradt.3555
    @bradt.3555 Před 3 lety

    nobody addresses the fact the arm and cartridge should be parallel to the platter when the needle is on the record, very important to the VTA. of the stylus!

      Yeah! You should be able to find some cool shops in Florida!

  • @venkatvallabhaneni1227

    The only reason I'm hesitant about getting into the hobby is I feel, I'll buy the record, listen to iit 10-15 times, then never touch it again. Like, Cds are cheaper, so it feels like you're getting more use of your money.

    • @SteveDave29
      @SteveDave29 Před 6 měsíci

      Try your favorite albums 1st.
      Used LP stores ought to let you listen before you buy.
      I am GenX, so I was raised on vinyl, then cassettes and CDs.
      My forever albums will be on vinyl.
      I am building up a "cheap" audiophile system as we speak.
      I just dropped over a grand on vintage DENON analog amp/preamp combo.
      Bottom line: if you can't hear the details, difference between CD and Vinyl, and are not drawn to the whole flawed but glorious analog feel and sound, then save your money.
      D/A converters can always create CD-R of your records for when you are on the go.
      The records, you enjoy in personal time, over a steak, whiskey or wine and a cigar.
      CD or streaming is a convenience: like stopping to get a burger.
      Hope that helps.
