KILZ FILLZ Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 On 1/18/2023 at 6:28 PM, KILZ FILLZ said: I’ve been troubleshooting some sound issues for a couple weeks now. Left and right speakers randomly act up. Either get distorted, fade out, or just not work on start up. Bounces back and forth from left speaker and right speaker. Sometimes will play sound flawlessly. I won’t touch anything and then when I try to listen to music the next day it happens again. i figured it was the cheapo speaker wire that came with these home theater speaker from AmVets but I changed it out for some 16ga speakerwire and banana plugs to the amp, but the Issue persists. Have checked all the connections over and over. Wires to speaker, wires to amp. Wires to turntable, wires to amp. i think I’m gonna buy an FM antenna or cheap CD player to hook up to the amp and see if the issue continues. If it doesn’t, I’ve isolated it to the turntable. If the issue continues I think I’ve isolated it to the amp… maybe? It could be the speakers… I think I’ve solved the audio issue I’ve been troubleshooting. yesterday I removed the headshell from tone arm and threaded it back on. Did it a couple times. The threads on the tone arm were a bit gunked up and I don’t think the connection was very good. Messed with it a bit and then tightened it up one more time making sure it looked aligned and level. No problems since. Listened to music most of the day yesterday and this morning and everything seems to be working correctly! *** Do you guys have a separate sub for your set ups? Like a 2.1 system, or did you get speakers with a decent sub in them? I was looking at some used studio monitors at guitar center yesterday but having the change up all my wiring and shit for powered speakers seems like more hassle than it’s worth, for now. Unless I get a mixer and start using the second turntable I got I don’t really see myself moving away from these two cheap passive speakers. I think I’m gonna start hunting for a powered subwoofer to accompany my two cheap bookshelf speakers. *** edit- super happy with the two rush records and the Cosby picked up on last page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF I had some issues that clearly were not linked to my wiring - ended up that I needed to use some good electrical switch cleaner. Real feedback and static that I often assumed was related to my records or wiring - hell I even thought about grounding my turntable. Ended up it was all related to dirty connections in my receiver. I used Deoxit or similar because my receiver was pretty old 40+ Cleaned all the knobs and contacts and that improved my sound immensely. This is when I was running a receiver and an old model turntable. Ended up just fully upgrading in the long term. Fuck it just linked my old reddit post - check that sub because you can get some great information on audio equipment.

If I get a mixer I’ll bring the other table into the mix and prob upgrade to studio monitors and ditch the cheap zeniths I got at AmVets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I’m digging it - the under cabinet lights are a dope touch. Going to check out that record - I am into reggae but I know you heavy into it. You probably got some gems on deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUGR Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 @KILZ FILLZYou should definitely get a mixer. So much fun being able to get lost in mixing records compared to stop record, switch record, play record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two rush records on last page I got at goodwill are pretty beat though. One of the tracks has a spot on it that skips like a CD somehow (?)

KILZ FILLZ Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Hey guys, if I get a mixer does it have the amp or do I still need this receiver / a pre amp? Would it just go turntables > mixer > speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like I need another spool of speakerwire to set this up more long term then. The way I have it ran now won’t work if I need to reorganize.
