Ghozer Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 what sort of player is it? does it have the large weight on the back? or is it a light arm (auto tense/balance) It may be that it just needs rebalancing - and/or anti-skate setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockonvynil Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) all you need is 1,Linn LP12 Deck-around the 500 mark 2,SME arm many to choose from around the 400 mark 3,Cartridge of your sonic preference from the 200 mark 4,when you have this lot, start saving up for a decent amp and speakers. 5,almost forgot, a detached house with a music room to play it in. And you will still buy the odd rubbish sounding or even non playing disc, welcome to the wonderful world of vinyl. You could look for a philips cd104 player quite rare now but worth the time or a philips cd650 a bit cheaper to get hold of but very good sound ,often quoted as one of the best sounding decks almost vinyl sound with out the snap crackle and pop.happy listening.

Guest Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I've got a few Beatles albums on CD and they do not compare to the depth and richness of my dads vinyl of the same albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorites are rubber soul and revolver bought new and still play perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 My favorites are rubber soul and revolver bought new and still play perfectly. They wouldn't if the original buyer had put a penny on the tone arm.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It could be a manufacturing fault, occasionly it is, but rare its on 2, it could also has been said your decks settings for those particular vinyls, maybe theyre thinner? so the arm skips more? can only be sure by trying them on another deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It could be a manufacturing fault, .. Google (and other search tools) are testament to hundreds of people with this EXACT problem after buying cheap PURE and other manufacturer's cheap Vinyl to PC and mp3 record decks. I've had dealings with one myself after someone I know got one for Christmas. They look reasonable in the pictures but the mechanism is the cheapest and nastiest that could be imagined. Avoid them like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousemouse Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Just as a matter of interest, was is/was your favourite Beatles track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockonvynil Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 impossible to answer, the beatles produced vast amounts of brilliant songs.ok from rubber soul "i'm looking through you" and revolver "here there and everywhere" but tomorrow the answer will be different.
