10 BEST Turntable Accessories

Thank you so much for watching, more good stuff on the way 😎👍

That scale could be used to increase music enjoyment in other ways as well. 😉

1:43 I prefer the AudioQuest anti-static brush that has the metal parts at the handle. Those metal parts are connected to the carbon fiber bristles, so that the static electricity is conducted away from the record way more effectively. 3:40 The Onzow Zerodust was a well regarded accessory, until people found out the problems it causes. That gel can come loose after some months of use. It will cover the cantilever of your cartridge and really muffles up the sound slowly bit by bit. Because it's so sticky, cleaning it off is not really doable. There are plenty microscope pictures of cantilevers with that Zerodust gel on it. However, it's been discovered fairly recently and various manufacturers have promised to change the gel formula to overcome this issue. So avoid these and similar cleaners from other manufacturers until further notice! 5:40 If your turntable has azimuth adjustment, you can also use the bubble to set that. 6:50 Nice Michell clamp. Fancy!

I like taking the mofi sleeves and then placing them into the paper sleeves. I find the added structure of the paper makes it easier to take the record in and out, without damaging the record.

A bit of a heads-up: The new production "RCA" Discwasher brushes are actually a poor quality semi-knockoff of the original (discontinued in the 90s) DIscwasher brush. The RCA brush appears to have a cheap bit of corduroy cloth on it with the nape of the fibers oriented in random directions, whereas the originals had a velvet cloth surface with the fibers oriented in one direction, thus the arrow on the side of the brush: The arrow indicated the direction to move the brush relative to the rotation of the record as to allow the fibers in the cloth to 'bite' and facilitate the removal of dirt and other substances from the grooves. The original and Jensen branded (Jensen owned Discwasher up until the early 90s, the brush I use personally is from the Jensen era) Discwasher brushes are the best thing to use, and apparently Crosley (amazingly?!) also makes a brush very similar to the original Discwasher, complete with the correct type of cloth with all the fibers oriented in one direction, if an original brush is too pricey on the used market.

Yay Jarrett is back

A suggestion for a follow-up video; record storage. Things like the best outer sleeves, the best way to store LPs including storage shelves etc. I’m sure there are many of us who’ve only recently gotten into vinyl and whose collections are now getting to the size that some dedicated storage is needed.

Pro tip instead of the ONZOW ZeroDust you can buy some Moongel Resonance Pads that drummers use and it'll do the same job for much cheaper

Hi Jared - I use most of these items, except the record clamp. Instead, I use the AT618a Disc Stabilizer spindle weight. Weighing 600g (21.2 oz), it flattens the disc, but its mass also contributes to help maintain rotational inertia. This is important because some DD turntables (like the older LP120USB) would "pulse" its motor to maintain speed, but the pulsing (called "cogging") could be heard between tracks and during soft music passages. By adding the AT618a spindle weight, I was able to eliminate the cogging noises.

Great to see you back. I would also suggest another accessory which I acquired recently: Nosound Record Clean Label Saver Album LP Vinyl Cleaning Protector Waterproof Clamp Care. That actually helped me clean many of the old or second hand dusty records I bought over the years. Though actually the running water must be really soft water, otherwise it would leave spots on the vinyl. It is just like clean and dry one record each day. I must say it was very useful.

Thanks Jarrett, your always so helpful
