Honestly, there are just so many things about this that I still don't understand. I could get the 120 probably within a week whereas I'll be waiting until at least March for the Orbit to ship. The Orbit is very appealing to me, the only problems with it are I would also have to buy a pre-amp, although I guess I would have to do that eventually anyway.

I have no problem with entry level, I think entry level is exactly what I need right now.

Still entry level but hopefully will work as it should.Īs the Op is in the USA, dont you think the Orbit would be a far better spend for the same money? I hope we get the Orbit's over here at some point as it will make budget recommendations far easier. Keeping in mind a tight budget try to move up to a AT-120. I'm trying to learn!Į.Man wrote:That's way dodgey.

What's going on? Is this just a s**t table? If I call AT and make a fuss and exchange it for another one, will I have the same problem? Should I just bite the bullet and buy an AT-LP120 or an Orbit Plus or some other table?Īny help or insight anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated, as at this point I'm afraid to even use the table for fear that it will ruin my records.Īnd please, don't be too hard on me for being so ignorant. They're all 12' 33s, but I have to play them at 45 speed for them to sound okay, but then still they're about 4-5 seconds shorter than they should be. The AJJ record sounds Satanic it's so slow. On the other hand, I have three records (Andrew Jackson Jihad - People Who Can Eat People, Radiohead - Hail to the Thief and HAIM - Days Are Gone) that play ridiculously slow. So I put on my dad's copy of Blonde on Blonde, original pressing, and sure enough, Rainy Day Women #12 and 35 clocked in 5 seconds shorter than the digital version I have and was also appropriately noticeably higher pitched. The belt is resting in the groove of properly in the groove of the drive pulley.Īll of the records I purchased are pretty new, I think the oldest record I bought was Sufjan Stevens' Illinois, so I thought maybe this is just common among new records. Unfortunately, it's playing all of my records slightly too fast, with some of them sounding as much as an entire half-step higher pitched than they should be, and most of the songs are about 4-5 seconds shorter when I listen to them on the vinyl versus digital versions of the same songs.

Also, full disclosure, I have it set to line, no pre-amp, I'm using RCA cables and playing it directly through Edifier Exclaim e10 speakers, which I know is sacrificing a lot of the experience but it's the best I can do right now.

I knew well enough not to buy a Crosley or any of those five-in-one type players with the built in speakers, but that's about as much as I knew.Īnyway, I got the AT-LP60 because it seemed like the best option for me as I don't have a lot of dispensable income. So, I'm brand new to the world of vinyl and 100% completely ignorant about pretty much every aspect of it.
