Thanks for much for this! Exactly the information I needed for my issues.

And guess what It was 12 volts LOL! Do you remember the similar units that were advertised on those 1-800 late night infomercial type commercials I believe it was called The jackrabbit that needed no wires or cables or anything basically you would have a transmitter and then you had three receivers that would transmit inside the house, but with a little manipulation you could turn it into a mini TV station by hooking the output up to a standard UHF VHF TV antenna You didn't really have to do any trimming or anything but if I recall opening up the box you could change the frequencies and interfere with other stations. We had some fun with it I think I remember the one you're talking about. I wasn't a big fan of radio shack we had a local electronic store which in fact is still in business. But now the owner lives in the back instead of living an luxury home in a planned community :(

The trick you used with the RCA plug to set up the counter weight, could be applicable for any other turntable? If not, any advice on how to measure it without having a scale? Same for styles alignment and speed accuracy plz, can I simply print it in A4 format and use it for testing?

Please put an unencased CED disc on the turntable to check anti-skating.

It’s worth pointing out that Elgato video capture device is one of the few USB devices that will work on Mac, most USB devices will not work at all on Mac, only PC. Unfortunately, when it comes to converting analog footage it’s a real pain, The method I use is I have to upscale my footage from 576i to 720p in real time, while this is not considered efficient for analog purists if I was to use their method they use, I would be here all day and quite frankly, I’ve got more important things to do with my life. The DVD method is a tedious problem, especially over in PAL territories where the standard videotape length was 3 hours in length in SP mode, which meant if you wanted to convert one whole tape, you would need 3 blank DVDs recorded in XP mode for the best quality. (Not counting the dual layered ones) which means you would have to stop the tape to change the DVDs over in order to record the whole tape. You would then have to rip the DVDs using ripping software handbrake and then edit the footage and by the time you go through all that it could take an entire day to transfer ONE TAPE digitally at the proper native resolution. Not happening. Another problem at the moment is to this day, I still cannot find a USB capture device that is compatible with Mac software and is able to capture interlaced footage so you can convert it to 50/59.94fps progressively.

6:32 LGR prefers fake woodgrain also.

Quality like "Schneider" or "Silva" in Europe ;-)

absolutley amazing to me that radioshack could make Realistic brand turntables that were higher quality, better sounding, and fully automatic fifty years ago but no manufacturer can figure out how to do that affordably today.

hahahahhahahahah 14 years ago ahead of its time.

If it has the same Cartridge as the AT-LP60X do you think the brighter less rich sound is due to the Preamp? I mean if your test for both was using the pre amp was on? If i bought one i probably would use it with an amp that didnt need the pre-map and prefer the look of this one?

VWestlife, is there a way you could send me through e-mail, stating what would be the best cassette deck today. I have over $1500 in cassettes, and I have never had the desire to switch over to the small version of record, which are CD's. Cassettes are the only way to go, but which deck to purchase today, is scary because of how cheap everything is built today. Otherwise, I would really appreciate your input. Thank you. Ken

Would it sound better/different with an external (pre) amp? (Or more tone control depending on specifics of the receiver/amp and its controls?)

There is a significant difference of sound reproduction between these two products. I find this quite odd being that they are both fitted with the same cartridge. At first I preferred the Electrohome, later I realised just how bright it is compared to the AT.

I would say this Electrohome turntables passed the critical Jazz Fusion test.

VWestlife, Thank you for all of your knowledge; which is ALOT, and which helps a great deal in knowing what to purchase. Ken

I have over $1500 in cassettes, and I have never wanted to change over to CD's; which are nothing but small records. Cassettes are almost indestructible, and always reliable. The problem with todays cassette decks is, you never know what you'll get, not like in the 70's & 80's they were always with top durable parts. I have an older, JVC TD-W307 Stereo Double Cassette Deck, which is still working great.

Even on my smartphone speakers, I could hear the more crisp high end on the Electrohome immediate. Of course, I couldnt hear the low end difference on it. I'd love to see you take a look at the AT-SB727 Sound Burger portable turntable. Definitely an interesting looking device...

Cains how old is this guy

What always fascinates me about records is just how forgiving they are to inaccuracies. Disc is a bit warped? Only noticable when extreme. Not quite centered? No biggie. Stylus weight a bit too low/high? If it isn't too bad, at least nobody will hear anything is off. All this despite the grooves making the sound are so tiny and detailed. The only thing that HAS to be spot on is the motor (and all inbetween it and the platter). The rest has surprisingly big margins where 99% of people wouldn't notice anything wrong.

If I had no turntable (I have four of them) I would opt for the Audio Technica for no other reason than that it has auto return. Every turntable should have auto return. It is not exactly new technology and I see no reason why any new system should not include it.

I have my Dads 70 B&O turntable as my main turntable its a heirloom so i have no need for another turntable but this would make a nice gift for beginners.

Digital recording; //mastering mixing is OK in first version is OK, but when you remaster it, quality is drop (even they said digital audio can't be distorted)

just work in a cd player in there and i'm set for life

I have a turntable almost Identical to the one featured in your "cheap fixes & upgrades for cheap turntables" video. What increase in fidelity could I get if I got this one? BTW, that video was and still is an extremely informative video, and I thank you for making it!

wow.. have to be the worse version i ever hear... 😵‍💫

My grandparents got their 1st vcr in 1981 and they switch the living room in 2000 from vcr/DVD combo and the basement in 1998 as a display (same as for the vcr DVD combo

Yeah, bypassing that built-in preamp would be the first order of business

I’m sorry but buying a 85 dollar turntable for your records isn’t a good idea It probably turns a lot of new younger people off vinyl I would suggest getting a 200-300 dollar table that preforms good and has decent sound quality

Heh, 80's corporate training video music. Are your priorities aligned with our global vision of success?

Never heard of Dale Jacobs and Cobra before but it kind of reminds me of Bob James. 👍

when i design and build my cassette player preamps i use 3 stages and square waves to make sure the response is flat and extends down to 5 hertz and i also use smaller anti oscillating capacitors so there is higher high frequency limiting. i wonder if record player preamps produce perfectly shaped square waves too.

This brings me to my teens in the mid 80s. I had one those all on ones.. An Emerson i do believe... I thought it sounded great back then. LOL.

I got that AT turntable. You forgot to mention one of its most glaring shortcomings. For some inexplicable reason they decided to put the speed control ON THE BOTTOM of the unit, which can only be accessed and adjusted with a tiny screwdriver. The TT almost always spins too fast and must repeatedly be fiddled with. Absolutely infuriating. It now sits in my closet as I await another TT.

Thanks for doing this thorough review. I don't need another turntable but I admit to having been curious about this one. As a Canadian, this is a somewhat depressing reminder of how domestic manufacturing has mostly disappeared from this country. Just like with Crosley, there is no continuity between the original Electrohome and the current company. This seems like a good quality item for the price range; too bad it doesn't have three speeds.

I cant stop laughing at the bad english 😂😂😂

Hi! What camera do you record your videos with? I was wondering for a while now..

You should consider ortofon test record for testing turntables and their arm, pickup needle alignment and if they work together. There's tracks on the record giving/playing distortion if it's not working the way it should. Tracks with tone that sound distorted if the anti scate is off. And yeah the antiscate dial on my trusty technics 1210 was off. Guess the fact that the mechanism is from 1988 have something to do with that.. When i adjusted it with the test record the music i played since sounds better and clearer NO QUESTION 😀

i want that audio track

Glad to see there’s more good quality entry level turntables being made available today

That RCA-plug trick was just epic! Too bad I can't do that on my linear tracker.

An entry-level turntable that has this quality is rare. Thanks for the review/test. And thanks for reminding me how clear vinyl production records sound!! In my 80s AM radio days, I used a LOT of those production tracks in rip-n-read carted commercials!

10:32 - Connecticut Twins Orchestra? OK, be right back, gotta Google that. **afk** OK, back. Jas (John) and Stas (Stanley) Przasnyski were born in Bristol, CT in 1926. Apparently, they were a Pretty Big Deal in the polka scene. Huh, you learn something new every day. "Entirely acceptable?" I'd say it's pretty darn good! The faux woodgrain and smoked dust cover is believable enough to look great next to vintage equipment, and the chromed cursive branding helps bring the "vintage look" home. As you said, it's not a premium turntable, but it's far better than I expected for the price.

I am very nicely surprised! It definitely looks very nice, and the closed-loop speed control plus an upgradeable cartridge with VTF adjustment makes it a great option! Thank you for this great review, now I want one of those “production music” albums to tape my own news segments 😂… thanks for sharing this content with us 😊

I have an Aiwa version of the ATLP60 set up for the kids. When the motor became erratic I figured I'd just buy a new one, but at $150 now I modified a crosley cruiser motor to work. That Aiwa is pushing thirty years old - can't complain...

Looks good, great price, Audio Technica cartridge which is upgradeable, and auto on/off, you can't go wrong. Far better than those dreadful, non adjustable, ceramic cartridged monstrosities which cost more!

Looks nice. Can't tell that much how it sounds except from your expert ears describing it. I bought a ILive with anti-skating, 3 speed, aluminum platter, standard headshell, BT, USB, S-shaped tone arm, metal 45 RPM adapter all for $75.00 at Big Lots. It even has auto-return. Except for the strange grinding sounds it made over audio when first purchased 4 months ago, which has disappeared, It sounds very good. I use it with a Douk Audio external pre-amp. I'm pleased. It is my 4th turntable. Just a spare to use while I service my 2 Technics SL-D202's. Can you guess my 4th turntable? Probably not, but it is the ATLP120X-USB and I really like it with the AT Vm95e or Ortofon 2M. It's hard to find anything good nowadays.

I wonder if the Off on the speed switch is more like a neutral so you can freely spin it while it's on. I think it sounds great, especially with the test record. As far as the comparison goes, I think the Electrohome has more presence to it what I was listening through. Nice video and I think the turntable is worth it.

Immediately bought the black model at $99 before they either jump the price up or sell out

My grandma had one of these that she kept by the kitchen counter while she was cooking

I buy cheap monitors all the time.($5) Or less and include them when i sell a pc. I usually dont get the box ones though, i like to get atleast the 1400-900 or 1600x900 16:10 ones. Usually I want DVI on them too and vga. I test them and to be honest theyre pretty good! For a dirt cheap monitor they look really good and when i offer them for PCs they for sure sell faster with a basic setup included
