@rbtstock Sigh. I know. I buy some new. Not many. Many new are remastered and compressed. I'd prefer to suck up a little noise and have a wonderfully open, huge sound-staged, natural sounding, minute detailed recording than what happens once the digital remastering makes that magic disappear.
Crosley should be arrested for selling junk
Just got a handful of records from a woman that sound incredible except they are destroyed by a junk Crosley her family bought her. (Inc. Decca Sammy Davis Jr. Porgy and Bess, Capitol Frank Sinatra etc.)

chakster It’s about cartridge, not a turntable ...Oh no, not at all. Good LP playback requires a proper turntable, and a proper pickup arm, and a proper phono cartridge, and a proper phono preamp. They must each be suited to the others, and they must all be properly setup. Vintage vinyl is a pure magic if the condition is fine, the advice to buy new vinyl is for those who prefer new music and new releases ...Not necessarily. There are some exquisite new pressings that are well-done remasterings of classic LPs, such as some of what MoFi is doing these days. |
rodman99999 Why would you buy records(assuming you paid for them) from someone that OWNS a Crosley(or any other junk) turntable? How much interest could one expect them to possess, with regards to cleaning/care of their vinyls?Buying a used LP is almost always a dicey proposition. But using a decent LP cleaning machine, and then playing the record using a fine-line stylus, helps improve the odds that the playback will be satisfactory, or better. |
