Customer Reviews

Setting up your turntable
If you have ever wondered how to set up your turntable so your vinyl sounds like it is supposed to sound, this video is an enourmous help. Written, acted and produced by Michael Fremer, one of the very few Vinyl Gurus I have ever seen who can communicate and is listenable - and watchable. This video is both very informative and entertaining. Apart from the setting up of three turntables in three different price classes, all of which he does very well. Michael gives a short introduction to diferent LP qualities, from "Virgin" vinyl - British, to "Streetwalker" vinyl - American. And, during the various set-ups, he admonishes us, the watchers, to "don't go crazy" during set-up. At the end of the video, he introduces us to his personal turntable, the Continuum Audio Labs "Colibri". Said piece of equipment costing around USD 100,000. Michael, when it came down to it, "went crazy".
Very, very highly recommended.

21st Century Vinyl: Michael Fremer's Practical Guide to Turntable Set-Up
I enjoyed watching this video, Mr. Fremer even showed how to
set up my turntable the VPI Scout. Before this video my turntable
set up knowledge was limited at best. The next time I buy a new
cartridge I will be setting up my turntable myself...

And it's fun, too
Anybody who is familiar with Michael's work knows he is a staunch supporter of analog and is a walking encyclopedia of the many options for acquiring vinyl LP's and turntables. But what's surprising about this disc is not his breadth of knowledge or willingness to share it, but the fact that he can make a potentially dry subject thoroughly entertaining. Music lovers will gain a lot from this disc, including a whole lotta (intentional) laughs. Highly recommended.
