5/6/2023 0 Comments Heyday turntable![]() This is the kid who used to HATE when I'd slip into a record store when she was little. She's in Denver, and yesterday she told me she and her boyfriend were going to Wax Trax in Denver to buy more LPs. She sent me some Snapchats of it running. She's wired it into an older little Sony CD dorm system and also uses the Bluetooth to play it through the Alexa in their kitchen that her mom gave her. I did coach her on how to balance the tonearm, and the above post is totally correct about newbies just setting it up until it doesn't skip. Brightside" comes on the TouchTunes? It's hilarious.Īnyway, she absolutely loves the turntable. Seriously, ever been in a bar with a much of Millennials when "Mr. The Killers is like catnip to every white Millennial ever. My old copy of The Beatles "1", an old Greek copy of Queen's Greatest Hits (it's a little too well loved for me, I'm going to buy a new one) and The Killers "Hot Fuss". We gave it to her for Xmas along with a few LPs I knew she'd like. It's the Bluetooth that eventually convinced me this is the one for her, as well as its simple, modern looks. I was considering the cheap Sony at Best Buy (I actually have one as a backup, and it sounds better than it ever should at that price.I particularly enjoy playing 45s on it).Īfter seeing this thread I looked into the Heyday. My older daughter has been hinting for a turntable for a while now. I think beginners like that would be better served with turntables like the Sony and AT-LP60 which come with a tonearm that is pre-adjusted at the factory. Also, some of the reviews on Target's web site indicate that people buying it don't really grasp the concept of zero-balancing the tonearm, and are just blindly twiddling with the counterweight until it can play their records without sounding horrible or skipping. Opinions vary, but most people are happy with them, and even audiophiles like Michael Fremer and Steve Guttenberg say they're good beginner turntables.Īs for the Heyday turntable, I think it gives you all the hassle of a fully adjustable tonearm with none of the benefits, because while it's not bad for a $99 turntable, it's apparently not really worth putting a better phono cartridge on, even if it's capable of it. I cant guarantee you will get the bass you want with an isolation device. It's the same basic design as the AT-LP60 and numerous other turntables that have been around since 1993, just in a larger chassis. Turntables without isolation systems built in need some sort of external isolation system to prevent the transmission of both mechanical and airborne feedback from entering the playback system and creating a loop from speaker to table and back again and again and again. ![]() Click to expand.Best Buy is selling that model right now for $79. ![]()
