CCB’s right, I’m only here for the clapping.

On cassette.

I left that mistake in on purpose as it gave the post more warmth.

Imagine if it turns out he listens to his 600 records through a Crosley plugged into his TV soundbar bought from Asda for £50?

Vinyls.

A new album by your favourite band is out. Assuming your equipment to play the following was of an equal standard, would you prefer to listen to that album, for the first time, on:

  • Digital file/mp3/FLAC
  • Spotify/streaming service
  • Vinyl(s)
  • CD
  • Cassette
  • Other (please specify)

Calm down Buscemi(s)

Hey vinyls guyz,

My turntable starts to make a really fucking annoying kind of whirring sound after about 15 or so minutes of playing. What’s that about? And how can I stop it? It’s a weirdly long time before it starts and can be like an hour… long enough that I think YES! it’s not broken anymore. But then it always is. The whirring sound is loud enough to be heard over music played at a reasonable volume, thus ruining the vinyl experience.

I have significantly less than 600 vinyl recordings, if that helps.

Thank you and, as ever, the warmest of regards.

motor on the way out maybe?
Is it only when the inner grooves are getting played? If so could be the tone arm needing aligned/balanced.

#103

Yeah, motor maybe. Sounds quite motory. Don’t think it’ll be the groove thing as it’ll usually go a full side or two before the noise starts.

#104

have you got a local vinyl guy?

There is a 2nd hand record shop in Brighton where the owner fixes turntables (although he will only fix ones which are fixable, i.e. he won’t do the cheap crossleys etc). I just take mine to him for issues like you are having

#105

If it’s a decent modern table it should be a reasonably straightforward fix. Usual always a local store that could sort it for you if you need.
Hope it all works out.

#106

It’ll probably be a motor problem if it’s a pro ject. Is it loud? I’m always weary of fucking my pro ject motor cos I turn it on then use the spinning to dust the record. But the brush slows it down and makes the motor do a wee cry

@grievoustim

Thanks guys, but no independent record/hi-fi shop in town, which is a bummer. Will give it a Google and see if there’s anywhere nearby.

Pro-ject is at least a good quality brand with easily replaceable parts.
Lots more folks more knowledgeable than us will have encountered and overcome this issue online. Plus parts will be easily acquirable.

There is a great romance to playing a record yeah. Doesn’t usually sound that good though
