would this product work for connecting my turntable that has two red and white phono cables to my home stero ? ive heard of pre amps but this looks like a cheaper option.

I want to start on Turntablism (Scratch DJing), like the kinda stuff done by Sid (Slipknot) or ST1TCH (Mushroomhead).

So my question is, which is better, CD players with Jog Wheels or Vinyl Turntables?
I already have a bunch of CDs, but if vinyl is easier to work with/better quality I'd get some records.

The main kits I'm looking at are these:

Hey I'm looking for my first turntable, I don't know the name of the kind that I want so I'll try and describe it my grandmother had one when I was little I would guess that it was made in the 70s it had like a plastic shell that went around it, it almost looked like a square suitcase

My guess it was a pretty cheap and common model when it was made

Again I have no idea the model or brand so I don't know what to look for

By divine providence (or something of the like), I recently received a massive record collection, in fairly good condition. I'm intending to spend a good portion of my years to come cataloging and thoroughly enjoying the records. I'm looking for a record player that will satisfy my audiophiliac needs and preserve the good condition of the records. I have 33 1/2's, 45's and 78's. Obviously, I'm making an investment in a worthy turntable that will ride out the journey with me. That being said, I'm looking for something in a comfortable price range. A mp3 converter would be great, but most of the ones I've seen don't include 78's. Any suggestions?

Recently I've started buying vinyl and I plan to buy a turntable/ record player in order to play them. I was going to buy a portable Crosley but I read that the needles were awful and that they ruined records very quickly. I'm looking for suggestions: A good record player/ turntable that wouldn't damage records (at least not so quickly) but wasn't so expensive either (preferably under 200 dollars)
thank you.

Antique turntable and tube style electric radio

I own an old record player, a Technics DC Servo Automatic Turntable System SL-BD24. The catridge in it is an EPC-P33 but the needle is missing from it. Can I replace it with any other similar cartridge or does it have to be the same one? because the EPC-P33 is hard to find and if i could just use another one that would help alot.

I have an old fisher turntable/ cassete player, im guessing from the late 70's, and i dont know how to connect it to speakers, its only outputs are a speaker R and L and and auxilery R and L i have a reciever with a phono input and a pair of speakers that use speaker wire, can anyone tell me how to hook this thing up? 10 points to the best answer

I recently purchased a used record player off craigslist and it's in very good condition but as I was moving it into my apartment, the cartridge head shattered and the needle was lost. I would like to buy a new cartridge head off of amazon or ebay, but am not sure exactly what type of cartridge I need. The turntable is a Zenith and the model number on the back is 4170, but I'm not sure about the year. Does anyone know what cartridge I need and where I can find it?

A catapult is tested by Roman legionnaires. They tabulate the results in a papyrus and 2000 years later, the archaeological team reads (distances translated into modern units): range= 0.20km, angle of launch = π/4. What is the initial velocity of launch of the boulders?

An old-fashioned single-player vinyl record on a turntable at 45 rpm? What are (a) the angular velocity in rad/s and (b) the period of the motion?

A rescue plane sports a survivor 182m directly below and releases an emergency kit with a parachute. If the package descends at a constant vertical acceleration of 5.82 m/s2 and the initial plane horizontal speed was 72.6 m/s. How far away from the survivor will it hit the waves?

I have purchased an old HMV Viking record player and have no idea how to get the record player working. There is power to the turntable and the radio works, just can't get the turntable to turn. If you touch the stylus you can here the crackle through the speakers so the stylus is picking up the sound. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Ion power play LP USB-powered vinyl to MP3 turntable speaker sound?
I bought the Ion power play LP USB-powered vinyl to MP3 turntable and it works fine and I've got it to play through the speakers on my computer (by adjusting the microphone default settings on my computer. My normal speakers are also set to default and are used when I play records) however it stills plays through the speakers on the turntable so I have got two sounds playing at different volumes and I was just wondering if anyone knew how to turn the sound on the record player off? Its annoying to have the background noise from the record player too. The sound would appear to be coming from the base of the tonearm. The speaker isn't listed in the little book I got with it though listing the different parts. I can live with it if I can get the sound turned off but obviously this would be better and allow me to enjoy the music fully.

I want to buy a good record player for some records I bought. I found this one online and it looked pretty good (but I don't know much about record players at all).

Can I play all sizes of records on a standard record player? (7, 10, and 12 inch).

Thank you!
If you knew what a record was?
......vinyl? Your question doesn't make sense.....
I'm looking for a record player (not a turntable. I don't have speakers for a turntable) and want to know what I should be looking for.

For a while now I've been wanting to start an LP collection. So far, I have been able to find several vinyls in excellent condition, however I do not yet have a turntable on which to play them (and yes, I do plan on playing them). Ideally, I would like a turntable which is able to play the records without causing any (or which causes very little) wear to them. However, I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on one. I'd like to spend around 0 on a turntable, but if it would make a big difference I'd be willing to pay up to around 0-250 for a good one.

Any other general advice or information I should know about turntables would be greatly appreciated. I'm very new at this, so I know very little about them. For example: one thing I have noticed is that many seem to come with dust covers. But wouldn't such a cover also obscure the sound being played rather significantly? Or do you only close it when it is not being used? Also, is any sort of amp typically required? Anything else I should know?

Thank you very much for your help
Thanks for the advice, Brandon. Another question, though: Can you typically put any cartridge on the arm of any record player, or do you have to be careful to make sure you get the right kind? Also, there are quite a few different types of Cartridges within those two brands you mentioned. How do I tell which one to get?
Alright, I've done a bit more research and it looks like two good options would be the Audio-Technica AT-PL120 or -PL50. The PL50 is about while the PL120 is 0. From what I can tell, they are both low-end, "starter" turntables, but the PL120 seems to get much better reviews. Is it really worth the extra 0 though? What is most important to me is that I cause as little wear as possible to the records. Would the PL120 be better for this?

Also, I looked into cartridges and managed to find what seems to be a fairly good one for a good price on Amazon - The Shure M97xE, for . Is this worth getting, or is the cartridge that would come with either of the above turntables adequate? Are there any others I should consider? Again, I want to reduce wear to the records as much as I can while staying within my budget.

Finally, is there any other equipment I would need to buy with these? Amplifiers, speakers, etc?

Thanks for any help

Where can I find a needle for my vintage turntable?
I need a new needle for my vinyl record player. It is pretty old, a Panasonic LTD Se-4509. I can't seem to find a place that has a needle for it anywhere. Does anyone know anything about this model?? Or where I can find more information about it? Are there needles that fit more than one model?
I really don't know much about turntables and would really appreciate if someone can help and point me in the right direction, or is this turntable a lost cause??
Also if anyone knows any music stores or repair shops that fix old turntables around CHICAGO, IL that would be great!

I recently got a turntable and bought some used vinyls for it. One of my vinyls plays wonderfully and doesn't have any scratches, but it appears to be warped and wobbly. I can visibly see the arm of the record player bobbing up and down as the record turns. Is it okay to play the record, or will it damage my record player?

It turns on 78rpm speed but not on 45 33 or 16. How do i clean the idler wheel if that is the problem I think it is slipping but i am not sure. I took the turntable off and it looks clean but someone told me even though they look clean they are not. So someone please help i inherited this from my grandmother and i want it to work forever

I just recently acquired a large collection of vinyl records and I would really like to play them. But I don't know squat about record players. Can anyone recommend a record player that can play many speeds, and manual not stack. I heard Dj turntables and record players were different. And I shouldn't get a turntable. Unless i misunderstood and both are one in the same. And If you know of one that isn't under 100 but under 200 that is fine also. New or Old. Doesn't matter to me. I would like something vintage if possible.

my dad has a bunch of old records that he has collected but he can't listen to them because he record player broke so for Christmas as a surprise I was going to try and transfer them all to cds so he could put them on his ipod or play them in his car. I get the basics of how to do it but it's kinda confusing me. Do I need a turntable to do this or can any record player work? If I can use a record player, what kind of plug does it need to have for it to be able to plug into my laptop? My computer has a cd burner, that much I know but I'm not sure what kind of sound card it has if it has one at all. What kind of cable do I need to connect the record player to my laptop and I heard I would need some sort of pre-amp too but is this true? And lastly what type of computer program is good for recording music like this and converting it to mp3 format? Thanks for any help you guys can give me, I really appreciate it.

Alright, so I am a 14 year old who want a good turntable. Honestly, I know nothing about buying record players/turntables. I have this one at the moment. http://www.amazon.com/Crosley-Radio-CR6005A-MA-Turntable-Mahogany/dp/B002N60HES/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1291083706&sr=8-15. I don't know the difference between usb and not usb, I want to also buy speakers with them and I also don't know anything about that. I was thinking about some acoustimass 3 bose, but I am not sure if that is for record players. Please advise me on what I should get. Thanks!

what is the best vintage turntable brand?

If I turn on a turntable (record player) so that it is at a standard USA playing speed at 1:05 am on any given day (in Pennsylvania), and stop it from spinning at precisely 1:05 am on the next day (in Pennsylvania), how many revolutions (total spins) did the record player complete?

The turntable sustains a consistent speed (rpm) the entire time.

Do you know the answer(s)?
If there is more than one answer, how many answers are there?

For the younger folks, I only know of three standard rpm for USA records ( 33 1/3, 45, and 78). If you can give examples of other speeds, I will take it in consideration for best answer.
If there is more than one answer, how many answers are there?

The total number of possible answers are sufficient to get the best answer, but please explain your reasoning.
* I was not taking the revolution of the earth into account. The question is strictly about time and number of revolutions of the turntable platter.

rpm = revolutions per minute. So, you would multiply (33 1/3 or 45 or 78) by the number minutes in the time between 1:05 am on any given day. It is easy to find three answers that are correct, but there are other possible answers to the question.

questions such as should i get new sleeves? i keep reading about paper pulp getting in the grooves and stuff like that. Here's the record player i have http://cgi.ebay.com/Crosley-CD-Recorder-CR2406-PA-Director-Turntable-Tape-/310241454843#ht_1669wt_1139. im not in a huge worry about anything because i have the albums on mp3 also, but i want to keep them going good for as long as possible obviously. also is this a good record player? will buying external speakers or anything like that help the sound significantly? it sounds fine right now without any additions.

Hello i am looking to purchase my fiancé a record player for Christmas to play vinyl records on.
I have purchased a few records to go with player, and i am now looking to purchase the player itself.
However i am slightly confused. I purchased the below record.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Back-Black-VINYL-Amy-Winehouse/dp/B000P5FG1I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291806509&sr=8-1

I was looking to purchase the below player

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5139316/Trail/searchtext>TURNTABEL.htm

I was wondering if the record would play ok. It states 33 and 45 rpm speed turntable, what does this mean? There have been some i have seen that have stated 78 rpm to. What is the difference? Would the above record i purchased work ok on this player.

Sorry if i sound dumb. The oldies dont know much about modern tech, i not know much about old tech lol.

Many thanks
