Cheap Record Players: Phono Stage Audio Quality Comparison
For today's short, we showcase three different cheap record players and their recording quality using their built-in ceramic phono stages with a genuine Japanese Chuo-Denshi CZ-800:
- Magnavox MD699 Suitcase Turntable (aka Crosley Cruiser)
- Sylvania STT008USB (aka Crosley Revolution)
- Crosley CR-40
For this test, the YD cartridge that comes with the Magnavox and Sylvania turntable and the cheap D-brand cartridge that came with the Crosley was replaced with a Japanese Chuo-Denshi CZ-800 for best results. I really don't trust the Chinese-made clones, so I have a stash of Japanese CZ-800s pulled from several record players I've serviced in the past.
The Magnavox seems to use a standard line input to connect the cartridge with, relying on a high output cartridge, while both the Sylvania and Crosley both have a proper high impedance phono stage for the ceramic cartridge. Regardless, the differences are clearly audible between the quality of the ceramic phono stage.
The Magnavox and Crosley are connected via LINE-OUT, while the Sylvania is connected via it's built-in USB audio capture card.

CROSL
crosley-record-players-will-it-actually
TL;DR: No.
non-TL;DR version: It won't destroy your records, but depending on the tracking force and type of stylus, it will increase wear on your records, which in some cases, will be more noticeable on certain units
Decided to remake vwestlife's experiment regarding cheap record players, the only difference is, using an actual Crosley record player instead of a BSR changer, and keeping the same tracking force for all 10 plays.
Don't buy a Crosley record player (or any of the Skywin/Leetac clones), but don't be afraid to use one if you're gifted one or if you already have one.
Most of these YouTube "experts" are sellouts and probably sponsored by these high-end record player companies to be able to sell their brand of record players.

Because when it comes to me and scouts, I try too hard to no-scope headshot.
And the BLM bind is just too fitting for the T-side.

NYCTA
nycta-r46-n-ride-along-(3-17-2020)
Filmed a week before Gov. Andrew Cuomo's "PAUSE" act took effect on March 24, 2020. N train ride-along recorded on March 17, 2020 (the day all restaurants were ordered to do take-out only and certain businesses to close by 8PM). Also a bonus ride on an R160 on the R on March 21, 2020 which was 3 days before PAUSE took effect (for those who wonder, this was my usual commute to work if i didn't take LIRR)
Notice how there's barely any people onboard at all.
