Welcome to the site that deals with buying and selling new and used vinyl records. Other media such as compact discs, cassettes, DVDs are also on sale, but much less important because the true passion is the vinyl record. There is no direct selling point because less disks are "touched", the better the conditions will be in the hands of their buyers.
MP3 files do not need any maintenance, you just have to be careful not to delete them.
CDs need more attention, but to ruin them you need to use sandpaper or a nail.
On the other hand, vinyl is definitely much more delicate and some precautions are needed for perfect storage.
Here are some simple tips for the correct use of the disks of your beloved collection.
One of the operations to which we must pay close attention to lengthen the life of our precious vinyl is the regulation of the weight of the cartridge during the reading of the microgroove. Of course we assume that you have a turntable up to this name and not cheap machines assembled with the sole purpose of satisfying the fashion of the return to vinyl by filling the electronics stores and appliances with horrible chop discs at low cost.
The Phonograph Cardridge is the instrument used by turntables to read the groove of vinyl records, through the needle, also called pick-up. The pin mounted on the cardridge follows the groove of the disc by transmitting vibrations which, through different electromechanical systems, are translated into electrical signals which in turn become the signal to be amplified. The cardridge, mechanically connected to the turntable arm, also contains the electrical connections necessary to transfer the generated signal to the amplification section of the system which will reproduce the vinyl record.
To correctly reproduce a vinyl record, place it on a rotating plate rotated at a constant and predefined speed. The speed of rotation, which can be 33 1/3 revolutions per minute or 45 revolutions per minute, regardless of the size of the support, is considered for a predefined speed. Once the speed of reproduction also contemplated the 78 rpm, but the high speed of rotation was at the expense of the duration of reproduction
For the reader, the question may seem silly, moreover if you attend a site dedicated to vinyl records the knowledge of the subject would seem obvious, but here you want to try to give a technical description of the analog support par excellence to also discover technical aspects and curious.
