Introduction to Vinyl | Must-know Trivia about Vinyl | 03 Is it really troublesome to buy a record player? It is very troublesome at the beginning, because you need to adjust various parameters, such as tonearm, needle pressure, speed, etc. Some record players do not need to be adjusted and can be used directly after purchase, which is also more friendly for novices. But if you are an enthusiast who pursues the ultimate sound quality, then trouble is inevitable.

Introduction to Vinyl | Must-know Trivia about Vinyl | 02 How often should the needle of a record player be replaced? This generally depends on how long you play records. Generally, each needle has a service life. When the needle is old or not well maintained, the sound quality often has obvious cracking points and hoarse sounds. The life of a needle is difficult to judge. Some needles have been used for more than ten years and the effect is still very good. As long as they are well maintained and not deliberately damaged, they can be used continuously. And sometimes, if the record cannot be played, it is not necessarily due to the needle.

Tips for getting started! How much "noise" does vinyl have❓| 04 7. Low-frequency noise: Also known as "bottom noise", it refers to the low-frequency noise generated by factors such as the friction between the stylus and the record surface and the interference of the power line when playing a vinyl record. These noises are usually below 30Hz and are difficult for human ears to detect. The bottom noise will affect the sound quality of the vinyl record, making the sound more fuzzy and distorted, which is an unsatisfactory problem for audiophiles who pursue high-quality music. Bean sounds, bottom noise, popping sounds, and off-voice sounds are all the sound quality performances presented by vinyl records.

Tips for getting started! How much "noise" does vinyl have❓| 03 1.

Tips for getting started! How much "noise" does vinyl have❓| 02 1. Popping: When the intensity of the sound waves on the record exceeds the range that the record player, amplifier and other equipment can withstand, a noise similar to the explosion sound will be produced, which is called popping. 2. Crackling: When there are scratches, wear and tear on the record, the needle will make a sound similar to the jumping of electric sparks when it sweeps over these grooves, which is called crackling. 3. Detuning: When the record player speed is unstable, the needle is damaged or abnormal, etc., it will cause the notes on the record to change pitch or skip certain parts, which is called detuning.

Tips for getting started! How much "noise" does vinyl have❓| 01 Friends who often play vinyl will encounter some problems with "noise". Some "noise" presents a natural and real feeling that cannot be simulated by digital music. 1. "Fried beans sound": The noise generated when the stylus sweeps through the record groove is mainly caused by the friction between the stylus and the record groove. At the same time, it is also affected by factors such as record materials and production processes. Some audiophiles believe that although the "fried beans sound" is not perfect sound quality, it can increase the realism and musical atmosphere of the record, especially when listening to classical music or jazz. 2. Explosion: When the intensity of the sound waves on the record exceeds the range that the record player, amplifier and other equipment can withstand, a noise similar to the explosion sound will be generated, which is called explosion.

Getting started with vinyl | Are vinyl records really that expensive? From an entry-level perspective, modern vinyl records and record players are actually not expensive. I personally think there are two types, one is classic and the other is popular. It has to do with their prices. Those who know about vinyl records know that the material of the vinyl, the singers or bands included in the vinyl, and the era and record company of the vinyl release all determine the price of this vinyl. The price of classic vinyl records from the 70s and 80s is the highest. There are also new vinyl records on the market, mainly popular music, and the price is relatively acceptable compared to classic old records, but it also lacks some flavor. But overall, vinyl records are actually relatively valuable. Overall, there are some misunderstandings about getting started with vinyl. It is not exaggerated that you need expensive equipment and records to play vinyl. In fact, sometimes happiness is really simple.

Why do I love vinyl more in the streaming era?💿 In the late 1980s, cassettes and CDs outsold vinyl. For a while, it seemed like vinyl was coming to an end. But in the past year, vinyl sales in the United States have increased by about 50%, and GEN Z is a huge driving force. Vinyl records provide a unique sensory experience. Playing a record is a healing process in itself - pulling out a vinyl record, placing it on the turntable, carefully placing the needle between the grooves, and watching it spin, the music becomes more three-dimensional and more tangible. Vinyl records are not only a collectible, but also a channel to find a connection with the classics of the past. For many people, rediscovering music in the form of vinyl records is a way to get away from the ubiquitous technology and focus on the physical world. It is an experience that transfers the mind to a time and place far away from the present, as if lost in a movie.
