Who doesn’t love the sound of a record spinning on a turntable? There’s just something about it that gets you right in the feels. But if you’re new to the vinyl world, it can be daunting to figure out how to build a sound system. Have no fear! This blog post will help you get started without going crazy.<\/p>\n
If you don’t care too much about the quality of your music, you can buy a basic turntable that doesn’t require much work. You won’t be able to change or adjust anything once you buy it. If this isn’t enough for you, then you will have to spend more time and money finding a pleasant turntable to use and upgrade as your music collection grows.<\/p>\n
What kind of music do you like to listen to on vinyl? Do you like to listen to old records from the 60s-80s, something from the 90s, or modern music? Vinyl recordings of old songs sound different than modern digital recordings. They are much more demanding on the quality of the system. But people who like vinyl recordings think they sound better than any streaming service.<\/p>\n

The first and most important advice is to avoid those beautiful plastic boxes that look like turntables and often come with built-in speakers. You will not hear any quality with them, but only ruin your discs over time and waste your money. If you don’t want to get scratched records after a couple of listens, then by no means buy “suitcases.”<\/p>\n
If you do not want to touch the turntable again, then it is better to choose an automatic turntable. These turntables have buttons that automatically start and stop the record and raise and lower the arm.<\/p>\n
Turntables with electronic speed switching are helpful if you want to listen to standard 12-inch records, as well as 7-inch ones.<\/p>\n
If you have small children, it is essential to have automatic control of your turntable. That way, the children can’t just climb up and start the music playing without asking you first.<\/p>\n
Some people prefer to use manual controls when they are driving. But if you want an extra layer of protection against mistakes or someone trying to take over, you can use an automatic control option.<\/p>\n
Some people are tired of having wires everywhere, so they ask brands for Bluetooth-enabled turntables. These people think it’s a strange idea because the sound won’t be as good as analog sound. If you want to listen to your records, for example, while lying in the bathroom, then you need a Bluetooth speaker. But, of course, this is not the best way to listen to music if you are an audiophile. You will get much better sound quality if you use wires.<\/p>\n
