Repairing A Turntable
Turntables, like any mechanical device, can develop technical problems that require either repair or replacement of a part. Most common turntable problems are the result of user error or accidents: because the tone arm is delicate and the unit relies on a steady and fluid motion and jarring, bumps or drops can cause an immediate malfunction. Of course the motor, bearings and electrical parts as well as rubber belts in belt-driven tables will almost inevitably happen due to the normal wear and tear.

Turntablists and DJ's who use turntables for scratching, fading and multiple stops and starts, may see more repairs when compared to the average home user or audiophile who treats their turntable as if it were one of their children and who who uses it only for listening to their prized collection of vinyl.

Buying replacement parts for repair has become a mainly online pastime as the turntable is more of a specialty item now and finding parts and motors isn't as easy as getting extra digital storage at the local mall. Often it is cheaper to replace the entire turntable as it may be a struggle to even find the replacement parts required to fix the problems, especially if it is an older model. We aim to offer the best online replacement parts for turntables but before you buy a new deck you might want to check for some common problems and solutions.

RCA Pin Connectors
These connectors are used with audio or audio-visual equipment and are designed solely for use with unbalanced signals. The connectors are colored according to the signal type. The red connector is used for sending signals to the right channel ands the white connector is used for sending signals to the left channel.

Color Codes of Audio RCA Connectors
The common phono connectors, also commonly called RCA jacks or phono plugs, can be used for both analog and digital audio. These phono connector first appeared prior to 1940 as a quick and easy way for radios and phonographs to connect a turntable pickup to the radio or amplifier chassis.
They connect with friction and are not designed to be plugged and unplugged repeatedly but are very convenient, and their low cost has made them popular for over 70 years. Initially intended for audio frequency connections only, the RCA plug was also used for analog composite video and non-critical radio-frequency applications.

Connectors used with passive speakers
The SpeakON connector system is a dedicated connector equipped with a lock mainly used for professional equipment. It is used to connect power amplifiers to passive speakers. After inserting the cable into the keyhole-like interface the connector is turned clockwise to lock it securely in place.

Speaker Phone Connectors
The standard phone cable for speakers have a single shielded core, but dedicated speaker cables with two cores are used with passive speakers.

Stripped Speaker Cables & Wires
Probably the wiring most home audio users are familiar with is the stripped speaker cables which are designed for general use but there are variations in quality and guages which can be chosen to reduce noise and other unwanted audio anomalies. They are usually color-coded to indicate the positive and negative wires. Connecting the wires in reverse will cause the phases to reverse, so be sure to connect the power amplifier and passive speakers so that their positive and negative sides match up.

Top 10 Turntables
What chance do you have of getting a real vibe started at home without an LP player holding pride of place? The waiting's over. The time has come to transform your living room or bedroom into the ultimate rock n roll safe hold. After all there's a kind of travesty in playing the explosive licks of Queen, Sabbath, or the flaming melodies of Charlie Parker, Bowie, even your favorite trip hop album on anything less than the finest turntable.

"I've seen the needle and the damage done"
Chances are, you know someone, who knows someone with a serious vinyl addiction. They probably only seek one kind of needle, and it's not the type that caused the downfall of the hippies. There are plenty of these people cruising through any city. The vinyl addicts we mean... These individuals may for instance have started off by playing a Tame Impala LP and never looked back; They may have also heard a limited edition David Bowie record at an uncle once, or Kendrick Lamar's "good kid" at a friend's house party, and before they knew it, they were hooked for good. You look at them with amazement.

Why it is crucial to store vinyl records
