@QuadRaSphere Records and Radio really appreciate the feedback, but then again I have a few questions since I’m quite new to records. So a microfiber cloth goes into the grooves of a record and pulls dust out so it’s almost impossible for the cloth to push anything further in the grooves so why can’t I? Plus it (basically) will do the same thing since it’s going into the grooves. (Sorry if this doesn’t make sense I’m a little younger and my perspective of things in the world might be a bit different.)
The more I get in to vinyl, the more I wish I hadn't. Compact Disc is so much better in every way but one, and thats the astetic beauty and engineering of turntables.
I like taking the mofi sleeves and then placing them into the paper sleeves. I find the added structure of the paper makes it easier to take the record in and out, without damaging the record.
Yeah, but its getting it out in the first place. I got so cross one day trying to remove an album ended up ripping off the sleeve.🤣which is how I discovered the vinyl inserts. 😎❤✌
1:43 I prefer the AudioQuest anti-static brush that has the metal parts at the handle. Those metal parts are connected to the carbon fiber bristles, so that the static electricity is conducted away from the record way more effectively. 3:40 The Onzow Zerodust was a well regarded accessory, until people found out the problems it causes. That gel can come loose after some months of use. It will cover the cantilever of your cartridge and really muffles up the sound slowly bit by bit. Because it's so sticky, cleaning it off is not really doable. There are plenty microscope pictures of cantilevers with that Zerodust gel on it. However, it's been discovered fairly recently and various manufacturers have promised to change the gel formula to overcome this issue. *So avoid these and similar cleaners from other manufacturers until further notice!* 5:40 If your turntable has azimuth adjustment, you can also use the bubble to set that. 6:50 Nice Michell clamp. Fancy!
@@CatDJMFor dry cleaning a carbon fibre stylus brush, such as the Ortofon one. For liquid, the Audio Technica AT607 stylus cleaning fluid. The specialty of that fluid is that it doesn't dissolve the glue used to mount the stylus, so in contrast to other type of fluids, this one doesn't shorten the lifespan of your stylus. That's because it contains ethyl alcohol instead of isopropyl alcohol.
A suggestion for a follow-up video; record storage. Things like the best outer sleeves, the best way to store LPs including storage shelves etc. I’m sure there are many of us who’ve only recently gotten into vinyl and whose collections are now getting to the size that some dedicated storage is needed.
I gently use a micro-fiber towel with luke-warm water and a soft detergent/soap to wash my records. I blow dry them with an electric duster and it has brought all my fathers old records back to life. no static issues at all, and no issues with the sticker on the record either. I replaced all the paper sleeves with synthetic ones to keep the paper lint to a minimum. I always keep my stylus clean with a nylon brush too. I have almost zero hisses and pops while enjoying them.
I would like to say I just got myself a brand new Turntable setup (I got a Audio Technica AT-LP60X automatic Turntable with Edifier active speakers) and these accessories will definitely come in handy!! Thanks!!
Hi Jared - I use most of these items, except the record clamp. Instead, I use the AT618a Disc Stabilizer spindle weight. Weighing 600g (21.2 oz), it flattens the disc, but its mass also contributes to help maintain rotational inertia. This is important because some DD turntables (like the older LP120USB) would "pulse" its motor to maintain speed, but the pulsing (called "cogging") could be heard between tracks and during soft music passages. By adding the AT618a spindle weight, I was able to eliminate the cogging noises.
That's a lot of useful advice. And I like how you get right to the point. And you care about quality but spare us the over-done audiophile snobbery. Very refreshing. :)
A bit of a heads-up: The new production "RCA" Discwasher brushes are actually a poor quality semi-knockoff of the original (discontinued in the 90s) DIscwasher brush. The RCA brush appears to have a cheap bit of corduroy cloth on it with the nape of the fibers oriented in random directions, whereas the originals had a velvet cloth surface with the fibers oriented in one direction, thus the arrow on the side of the brush: The arrow indicated the direction to move the brush relative to the rotation of the record as to allow the fibers in the cloth to 'bite' and facilitate the removal of dirt and other substances from the grooves. The original and Jensen branded (Jensen owned Discwasher up until the early 90s, the brush I use personally is from the Jensen era) Discwasher brushes are the best thing to use, and apparently Crosley (amazingly?!) also makes a brush very similar to the original Discwasher, complete with the correct type of cloth with all the fibers oriented in one direction, if an original brush is too pricey on the used market.
Yeah, i have an original discwasher one and the cloth feels softer as well. Not sure if anyone notices, but the stiffer cloth can leave small concentric marks on the record. You can see it in the dead wax area if you shine a light at an angle.
Adjusting the Counter Weight. Crosley Cruisers hate that Trick XD A big thank you to YOU for providing the People of Planet earth with some good quality Content about Record Players and Vinyls.

wow, a record clam, never heard of that, thanks J.. and the last , for taking the record out of the sleeve, never heard of that either, I love that butler !!! Or is it Butler.
Great to see you back. I would also suggest another accessory which I acquired recently: Nosound Record Clean Label Saver Album LP Vinyl Cleaning Protector Waterproof Clamp Care. That actually helped me clean many of the old or second hand dusty records I bought over the years. Though actually the running water must be really soft water, otherwise it would leave spots on the vinyl. It is just like clean and dry one record each day. I must say it was very useful.
I just bought John Mayers Sob Rock vinyl as a gift for my girlfriend with the intention of buying a cheap turntable. Now after finding this channel I realize how wrong I was. Now I'm teetering on the edge of having a full blown setup to start my new hobby called vinyl collecting. Great channel sir. Wallet is fuk.
A great video as usual J:-) I have whats become a large collection...mainly 45's but a few hundred LP's as well...Those RCA brushes might be good for a new record but Ive wiped 2 out on 45s alone...the first one ended up with a hole in the end...dirty 45s...which many are..need a good cleaning upon getting hard used and abused 45's. I use a good terry washcloth with plain warm water and some gentle elbow grease...you would be amazed at what you can pull from a seemingly cleaner record. LP's are harder...as they are bigger but once cleaned the usual wipedown before and after use takes care of them. As for storage...I like the vinyl/plastic lined inner sleeves usually used on classical box sets of yesteryear...it makes a huge difference over the paper ones. As for bulk storage...ive bought a ton of wood cabinets with doors(keeps dust moreso at bay AND keeps light off so no sun fade or discoloration) and have enhanced shall we say their basic construction given vinyl is so heavy...adding wood reinforcement top to bottom...bottom is most important as if the bottom fails everything else will be weakened...I made frames to fit inside the cavity under the cabinet and added wood on both sides and center as I put a middle brace in the bottom frame too...prevents sagging shelves and spreads the load out much better. The added extras I have done have added to the overall cost...but if one values their collection can you really overdo it with sturdy storage cabinets? I also only keep LP's on the bottom half and 45's on top. I've got my toolboxes in 2 of them occupying the bottom with one of the top shelves for LPs and the other area for 45's CD's etc. Sorry its such a long post but I searched long and hard for storage and sturdy cabinets for vinyl is not an easy thing to find on a budget. I would say including the extra reinforcements I have made each cabinet comes to about 225 or so each...cabinets themselves ran in the neighborhood of 175.
If I may add something that's been told me by some hi-fi and vinyl experts, don't run your fingers across the anti-static brush to dust it off. Use its handle instead.
@@jesus.e126 I'd probably brush it with another object. Avoiding using your body makes so that none of your bodily oils and fats get attached to the bristles.
Mobile Fidelity anti static sleeves are a must for anyone into vinyl records. I've gone through nearly a hundred of the sleeves and have ran into zero issues with them. I might buy a stylus cleaner but have been getting by just fine without one in my 19 years of listening to vinyl records.
So cool. I am new to this and saw HEART on this clip!! Thanks for this post and tips for a new comer, but also that HEART vinyl is precious. Got my hands on a real old copy. Bebe Le Strange. Still want to hear Ann Wilson's voice on vinyl. Sure with these goodies she's gonna sound amazing!!! Thanks for the post and links.
@@joebloggs8636 why would I spend 30 dollars on sleeves when i can pay less for the same if not better because of that paper outside sleeves for cheaper.
Haha the record butler is new to me and it's cute. Although i am careful with my records im going to get one just because it's so simple yet helps and makes life a tiny bit easier. Plus, did i mention it's cute 😊
I use a similar RCA Discwasher brush before every record play. I usually use it dry on the records I spin on a regular basis and then every once in a while I'll use the spray. The anti-static brush I find is pointless if you have a Discwasher brush. I've also got a can of Gruv Glide and its accompanying microfiber pads, which I used to use more often before I got the Discwasher. Basically the Discwasher is my favorite record accessory. I also have a label protector clamp for when I wash my records in the sink.
Thanks for posting these accessories!! Been doing researching on this hobby and have run across an item which seems pertinent. But I can't find anywhere? An "overhang gauge"....someone posted a video and stated they were included in every turntable that had the "s' shaped tonearm. He has a very clear and concise video for demonstration. His channel is "Woodies Hobbies" Have seen some on-line but they are not the same ones which he uses in the demonstration. The "overhang gauge" is a very simple device which measures exactly where your cart needs to be positioned within the shell Again thanks for posting!! regards, Bruce
Hey Jarret, I've been digital for years, just for the convenience, but lately on the radio I'm hearing plenty of older songs that I happen to own on vinyl. I'd love to get back into it again and check out all the great records I bought over the years. I'd like some advice on setting up a 'curve' on my equalizer that will make vinyl records really pop. Any suggestions? I have small bookshelf speakers that I don't want to blow, so not too much bass, please. Thanks for your help, your videos are great.
Thank you! Do you have a video about setting up the tracking force of the cartridge by any chance? Maybe its just a very straightforward process, right? BTW "Would" is an awesome classic!
Habe ich schon fast alles seit Jahrzehnten. Übrigens läuft bei mir ein WEGA PS 550 Full Automatic Turntable, Made in Western Germany, von 1977. Klang ist fast perfekt.
Gracias por tus tremendos consejos. Me han sido muy útiles desde que comencé, hace algunos meses, a escuchar vinilos. Tengo varios de los accesorios que mencionas y voy a ir por otros que me resultaron interesantes. Y la canción del día puede ser "Tennessee Mojo" de The Cadillac Three. Saludos desde Chile.
hey, I saw you playing a Tool record. I highly recommend going on a deep dive through modern progressive rock/metal! Bands like Dream Theater, Opeth, Bigelf, and Porcupine Tree etc have some top of the line musicianship!
Where do I get a record butler? Didn't buy an Onzow,got a new type in an aluminium tin. Have got several brushes for cleaning,they collect after a while,but the one I like is like a giant shaving brush. Got one of those anti-stat guns that never seem to do anything.😂 Be safe, stay cool. 😎❤✌
So great to see you back Jarrett. Your videos are very helpful. The inner sleeves I like to use are made by a company called Spincare. They are soft plastic sleeves lined with paper, but the paper is actually inside the plastic sleeve so it doesn't touch and scratch the vinyl. Song of the day: Let The Music Play - Barry White. It's such a classic song.
hi jarret, if you have to stop a song can you just click stop while the song is playing or do you need to lift the needle? the thing that automatically lifts the needle doesn't work on my turntable i need help please
These are all great but I'm getting quite a few records piled up and I dont have any record storage I just yesterday stepped on one and totally shattered it do you have any bulk record storage tips? Or shelves that are perfect for holding records?
The IKEA Kallax shelves are made for storing records. Otherwise you can get some sort of crate or something and put them in that just don't stack em. If you do go for another cube style shelf make sure it can handle the weight of a record cause their weight really adds up and you don't want your self falling down.
Hi @VinylEyezz I was wondering what turntable mat you use I would like to replace my rubber that came with the turntable. Also thanks for the great content you helped me set my turntable up!
I replaced my rubber mat with an acrylic platter and have been very happy. Hudson Hi-Fi has them on Amazon. I recommend getting it in white to help colored vinyl look awesome. Plus you can use a carbon fiber brush to clean it pretty easily.
Instead of paying $40 for an Onzow I bought a 6 pack of Moongel damper pads for around $7.00. I found that one pad fits neatly into an empty Listerine breath strip package.
Hi there, been playing reckords for 50 years so i thought that you could not tell me anything i did not allready know. But in another accesoires vid you were tqlkinng about a led light.. and that was what i was missing.
I'm usually very careful with my vinyls but I had one slip out of my hands and now there's a big ol scratch on it. Whats the best way of getting rid of scratches?
Hey, Jarrett! I wanted some inner sleeves for my records as you recommend, but didn’t want to spend quite as much as the MFSL ones. I just ordered rice paper anti-static inner sleeves from the brand Invest in Vinyl. Are you familiar with those and how do you feel about them?
Hi, I'm new to this vinyl stuff. Could I get away with just a turntable with a built in preamp, and an active speaker? Please let me know if this is correct
I've used Collector Protector and Invest In Vinyl rice paper sleeves from Amazon, and I am very happy with both brands. I really like the Vinyl Fever outer sleeves.
Thank you so much for watching, more good stuff on the way 😎👍

So great to see you back Jarrett. Your videos are very helpful. The inner sleeves I like to use are made by a company called Spincare. They are soft plastic sleeves lined with paper, but the paper is actually inside the plastic sleeve so it doesn't touch and scratch the vinyl.
Song of the day: Let The Music Play - Barry White. It's such a classic song.
I'm using the Audio-Technica - AT6012 cleaning kit. Do I need to get an anti-static brush as well?
Song of the day: Smooth Sailing by Queens of the Stone Age. Great video by the way.
4:30 - Ahh yes, a tracking force scale is def a necessity as well. Always good to double check your tracking force every once in a while.
I love the song of the day! 🤘😎
hi jarret, if you have to stop a song can you just click stop while the song is playing or do you need to lift the needle? the thing that automatically lifts the needle doesn't work on my turntable i need help please
Demo on how to clean 7 inch singles please
Can you talk about different styluses you recommend or sibilance problems for the next video?
Are random skips from new records caused by warping? Record weights/clamps will help with this?
Hey Jared what record clamp would you recommend?
Have you ever mentioned using a tonearm protractor so as to set the cartridge/stylus properly?
These are all great but I'm getting quite a few records piled up and I dont have any record storage I just yesterday stepped on one and totally shattered it do you have any bulk record storage tips? Or shelves that are perfect for holding records?
The IKEA Kallax shelves are made for storing records. Otherwise you can get some sort of crate or something and put them in that just don't stack em. If you do go for another cube style shelf make sure it can handle the weight of a record cause their weight really adds up and you don't want your self falling down.
I may or may not have just purchased like 5 of these things due to this video
Hi @VinylEyezz I was wondering what turntable mat you use I would like to replace my rubber that came with the turntable. Also thanks for the great content you helped me set my turntable up!
I replaced my rubber mat with an acrylic platter and have been very happy. Hudson Hi-Fi has them on Amazon. I recommend getting it in white to help colored vinyl look awesome. Plus you can use a carbon fiber brush to clean it pretty easily.
would be good if you could do a vid of the AUDIO TECHNICA pick up you have playing 78's. cartridge etc to get
Jarrett where can I get me a record butler ? I’ve looked on Amazon & eBay but had no luck.
Some sleeves are paper,but lined in plastic, are they ok too?
nice stuff i might get the clamp
Does anyone can recommend a vinyl record holder for me？I just started collecting records recently,I think I need a storage rack for them🤞
I have all the stuff.. 👌👍👍
Instead of paying $40 for an Onzow I bought a 6 pack of Moongel damper pads for around $7.00. I found that one pad fits neatly into an empty Listerine breath strip package.
A $1 Mr. Clean Magic Eraser does the same also
Hi there, been playing reckords for 50 years so i thought that you could not tell me anything i did not allready know. But in another accesoires vid you were tqlkinng about a led light.. and that was what i was missing.
I recommend add an anti static spray and a cork slipmat.

is it safe to use the record clamp every single time you play a record?

I'm usually very careful with my vinyls but I had one slip out of my hands and now there's a big ol scratch on it. Whats the best way of getting rid of scratches?
Unfortunately you can’t really get rid of scratches. Just make sure you keep the record clean.
THANK YOU!!!
Hey, Jarrett! I wanted some inner sleeves for my records as you recommend, but didn’t want to spend quite as much as the MFSL ones. I just ordered rice paper anti-static inner sleeves from the brand Invest in Vinyl. Are you familiar with those and how do you feel about them?
+ a soft brush such as a makeup brush to dust the turntable plinth
Super cool brother. Always amazing content.
Considering I can never get records out of the sleeves with any grace while not touching the surface, that butler sounds perfect.
Hi, I'm new to this vinyl stuff. Could I get away with just a turntable with a built in preamp, and an active speaker? Please let me know if this is correct
You sure can 👌🏼

Do you know where to get sleeves for 7” (inner or outer lol)? I can never find any 😅

If you can’t find or afford MoFi inner sleeves, is Vinyl Fever a good alternative? Peace.
I've used Collector Protector and Invest In Vinyl rice paper sleeves from Amazon, and I am very happy with both brands. I really like the Vinyl Fever outer sleeves.
