The after and before set up the speakers are behind my TV

Hey all I just got this SL1200MKll from fb market for $600. It looks completely new, no dust or anything. The guy said he repairs and customizes them but somehow I got a steal. That being said I am new to all of this and would love some help on where to start. Things I should look for, how to properly set everything up, ect… Any help and advice would be much appreciated. Thank you all.

43 years old. Used an old Quasar compact system (am/fm, cassette, record) as a kid. In my teens got an upgrade to a Kenwood pn-5x linear system that I used until it died about 15 years ago. Had a bad situation where an ex destroyed my collection of 200+ vinyl. I was left with about 30 LPs and about 5 years ago got a suitcase player just to occasionally listen to what few vinyl I had.

And now, this is what I have. Pioneer PLX-500, and some logitech Z623 speakers. Slowly growing my collection back up the last 5 years. I know the space isn't ideal, but my current gf decided we should own birds, and this is my safe space for all things music.

I don't mind the criticism, but I'm happy with my setup. Old metal head and some punk, very small amount of rap and classic rock. This setup kicks anytime I've ever had before

Is this good? If not comment some substitutes for me!

Hi i’m 16 and i’m really new to turntables like i got my lp60x with the edifiers mr4 a couple days ago, and i love it !! I’ve been mainly playing video game osts (p3r ,p4 and p5r) and i think it’s good for my needs, but i will eventually upgrade to an at lp120xusb later this year. But at the same time i don’t really know if i should get the most out of my lp60x (like upgrade the needle, the platter mat and/or just go with an amp and passive speakers) But this will be a question for another day, i would be curious to see your replies and advices.Thx

ive been wanting to upgrade & get an actual nice player but budget is an issue so ive been scowering marketplace. found this one in my town but i’ve never heard of the brand. Sanyo TP 626. good player? user friendly for someone who doesn’t really know about audio stuff? easy to hook up to speakers? good price for $175 or should i be looking at other options?

My Bedroom setup. 😊

saw this at a local thrift store and really want it! the people said they tested it and it works just hung up on the price. they want 350 for it. I didn't get to hear it so I don't know about sound quality. I also don't know much at all about record players but it looks very nice! should I just go for it?

My stove dots keep moving back and forth I used deoxit d5 on my speed pots and oiled the spindle bearing

This is a vintage technics sl1700 from the 80s

What could be wrong with it ? And how can I fix it

Do I have to take it to a repair ?

So i have a fluance rt82, just recently set everything up. I’m having trouble with the tone arm, it’s balanced and the anti skate and tracking force are set to 1.5, and my turn table is level. Yet it keeps sliding outward unless i turn the anti skate off, but then when i turn it off, it starts bouncing on the record. Help please!!

I decided to get myself a nice little turntable setup after listening to crappy mp3 on 15€ speakers for my whole life. Today I finally got every piece and I'm devastated to hear that the turntable is in slowmo and has a lot of cracks. I bought everything second hand, but of course everything was tested before buying and had no issue. The TT might have been handled poorly during transport though...

Setup:

• TT: Clearaudio Concept
• Integrated amp: Marantz PM17 KI
• Speakers: Wharfedale Linton

I'm thinking the belt might be fucked and maybe also the cartridge but everything was working fine when I was listening with the seller, so not sure how much damage transport could have done... any clue?

Unit will power on, but the table won’t spin. I checked both fuses on it and they looked fine. Buttons sometimes light up and sometimes don’t so I’m a little lost. Anything specific I should check or do?

Hi I am new with turntables, I just want to know how good or bad I have done, I got Sony PS-LX310BT and receiver Sony STR-DH190 I wish I knew what speaker are those but I dont know they are my fathers old speakers from times when he was young. With LP I heard sometimes they should be standing like that and sometimes that they should be laying down. I would be glad for any suggestions that may help. I would put speakers down but there is no place where I can put them.

I picked up a used technics Sl D2 as my first turntable and have been wondering if everything is fine with the stylus? Needle? I have no idea how anything is called I’m pretty new ;/

So after a few days of searching for turntables and speakers, here is what I found most recommended. What do you guys think of this setup for my starting kit, is there anything that you would change? If possible not higher in price.

For context, I have a sony LX310BT and have had this issue for the last week or so. Regardless of the vinyl, everything sounds slightly pitched up as if it’s a sped up tik Tok audio. Please help!! PS: Yes I have the speed and size set correctly

I don't have a large budget but I want play some of the records I recently got. My budget is somewhere close to $350 for the whole setup. Would a AT-LPW30BKR turntable and Edifier R1280DBs speakers be the best I can get at this price? This adds up to about $328.

If you do what would you rate it?, would you recommend it to anybody to buy to replace the one they own being that it's $499.00. I'm waiting on mine to come in the mail tomorrow but seemed like the best phono pre amp for the money.

( The phono pre amp I'm using right now is the Fosi x2.)

(Edit->

TT- Pioneer DJ PLX 1000.

Cartridge- Ortofon Concorde Music Blue.

Phono- Waxwing.

Dac- FiiO K7.

Headphones- Sennheiser HD660S2.

Speaker- None but going to get a good set here in the coming months.

Hello, I have an SME IV arm that I’m having an issue with. It buzzes whenever I touch it.

The arm has an RCA connection and a ground wire. I’ve connected the RCA and the ground to my amp. When the ground isn’t connected I get a loud constant buzzing. With the ground connected, I only get a buzzing when I touch the arm. The turn table is also grounded.

I’ve tried: Having the turn table and the amp in close wall outlets, distant wall outlets, removing and then reattaching the cartridge but still get the buzzing when I touch the arm.

A few things to note: If the turn table is powers and I touch the arm it buzzes, if the turn table is unplugged from power and I touch the arm it buzzes.

Even if the cartridge isn’t attached, if I touch the arm it buzzes.

Can’t seem to figure out what the issues is.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Back again. I am trying to find a replacement stylus for my TT, it has a Stanton 680EL cartridge and a D6800EL stylus currently. I would love some upgrade or adjacent options but info is limited and conflicting. Thanks for the help as always.

I've watched so many YT videos trying to troubleshoot this and am unsuccessful. Currently my turntable starts, the arm lifts and record turns, and then after a second just stops itself. I've tried to reset the auto-mechanism by taking it apart, per this video, but unsuccessful. Similarly, the manual lift button lifts the arm up, but the turntable does not start spinning.
