mcguirk Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Serious question from someone who wants to learn. I don't have one, but are Ion's really cheap/bad? Why/how is it destroying the records slowly but surely? Yeah, they are. The first problem is that there's no way to adjust VTA, tracking weight, or cartridge alignment, so you can easily and unknowingly degrade record grooves, especially if tracking weight is way too low.

Montauk_123: fuck yes Biodigitaljazz: what are the odds the date will change? I love hot topic records! Best label ever! Travis: I don't know why I do this shit anymore..... cwhitmuzik: I reviewed this, check my site! Rad: Farts but nooooooooo, Zayzay figured out how to use the search bar in google. Fixed.

The same can be said about ZayZay's LP60 simple I still want to know what a bass amplifier is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wursty Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 If you don't know what a amplifier is in general you don't need to speak Yeah, I'm not sure what an amplifier is but I do have this in my trunk. I installed this into my dashboard just so I can turn down the bass so I won't get pulled over when I'm D-D-D-Dropping the bass like a drunk fisherman. I removed the stupid stickers because I'm out of my dubstep phase. if you don't like the album feel free to go to another thread also I didn't ask you what you thought of My Little Pony. If you don't like it leave simple I don't care for the album or the band but this thread is gold to read, plus I just noticed you replied to my same post twice. I feel that 'bronies' are in the same group as the ICP juggalos in which they were never really apart of a group growing up due to social anxiety and awkwardness in either Middle and/or High school. Now they see a group of people they can belong to without feeling weird and have something to bond over, either it be spraying faygo rootbeer all over eachother and smearing each others facepaint, or collecting dolls that are made for little girls and brushing it's hair while gossiping over what facial piercing to get or what time they should get their mom to drop them off at the mall so they can spend their hotcashz at Hot Topic.

Princess Logan Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Fun fact: I used to live next door to Juggalos, I was always a little upset when they didn't invite me to their parties. wursty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 God damnit, I've got an Ion Profile Pro that I've been using for months. I have records that I got from my dad that he would play on some piece of junk player while he was fixing cars in the garage. So, on top of the turntable, they were stored in said garage throughout every season of the year, and were often handled with greasy hands. They still sound fine. Records are more durable than quite a few of the folks here seem to think. Your records will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biodigitaljazz Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Coming from another (unfortunate) LP 60 owner, I feel like if the player destroyed records, it wouldn't be in production. Especially since the same company also makes higher end tables that are quite well spoken of by members here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zayzay87971 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 What?? Audio Technica's use a whole different cartridge from Crosley record players and I assume Ion record players as well that doesnt bare down on the records as much as the other models do because of the different cartridge type. But if you dont constantly play the same record a million times A Crosley or Ion player should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a little nervous. it depends on how often you play your records on your ion Audio Technica is a better option! It seems like ion is just as bad as Crosley Record players Yeah, I haven't heard much good about Crosley's at all. Coming from another (unfortunate) LP 60 owner, I feel like if the player destroyed records, it wouldn't be in production. Especially since the same company also makes higher end tables that are quite well spoken of by members here. Yeah, I think I'm gonna hold off on getting something of that caliber even though I'm sure it's fine. Going to try and save some cash and spend like 200-300 bucks minimum.

Dude just get a Lp-60 and save your money man Audio Technica's all have lighter cartridgescwhich is safe on your records no need to spend that much on a player unless you just want a professional model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
