Unleash Ultimate Sound: Audiophile Mods for Your Turntable Revealed! ft. The Funk Firm! #vinyl #hifi

Hi from the uk here. Ive found that sound tests are pointleess. I can never tell any audio difference over you tube.

INSANE PRICING....NO SALE

I have a lot of the old Command albums and use those to make sure the stereo is doing ok I especially like to listen to Reeds and Percussion. Enoch Light knew what he was doing.

The springs in the feet, I wonder if there's a risk of noise from them ringing. A thing we do with some old typewriters is to thread a short loop of wool up down through a spring to deaden any annoying ring.

Definitely the sound of the Grado gold Prestige is much better/improved when coupled with the Funk Firm Houdini tonearm/cartridge isolation device to boot and from night to day. Would you please make a video of the installation of the Funk Firm Houdini and Grado gold Prestige cartridge? Thank you for all your videos.

Just ordered Funk firm mat for my Plx1000 👌🏼

Arthur is such a nice fellow - I've met him a few times at the London hi-fi shows. As you know he designed the Pink Triangle turntables back in the late 70s. He once told me he was working on a remote control tonearm but that never saw the light of day. Great video and a brave effort on your part to introduce a bit of high-end tweakery to an entry level channel.

WOW ! I generally hear no sonic difference in these A-B comparisons, which I attribute to my listening device being a phone. BUT, there was a significant, easily audible, deep, bold, and dynamic improvement, IMO. I haven't yet caught the price of these little jewels. Go Ahead, I'm sitting down !!

Thank you for this great video. I do hear a big difference. The sound is more clear and more isolated from outside so you hear much more details from the recording. Also I do hear better channel separation. Have a great day.

Thank you for the great video. I was very intrigued by the Houdini when I saw it in the Music Direct catalog. I know isolation make a huge impact on record playback. I did notice a difference and though not overwhelming on YouTube, it was still there. I know this would have added more work and time but testing without the addition of the Funk products, and then testing them individually to see the impact of each one. Please do not hesitate to test out these ‘more expensive’ modifications. I think it is good to see (and hear) how they impact modest systems and playback. Cheers

awesome bud great content as usual

A very good firday evening to you all in the USA from Wellington Somerset in the UK 🇬🇧

I've made similar changes to my Pioneer PL 518 turntable. I replaced the rubber mat with a Way Excellent mat of the same thickness, the stock feet with isolation feet, and set the anti-skate by ear rather than the typical tracking force number. Definitely better. But the most important "tweak" I've made is using an ultrasonic cleaner on my lps. I bought the Vevor us lp cleaning machine and it has improved my listening experience tremendously.

im 56, was a great vinyl hunter in my teens, never once did i panic about what stylus etc to use...joined a few facebook groups..OMG talk about purists an snobs

What turntable would you recommend for $300 max when including speakers? I've been looking at the 1 by One h005 but are there any others you recommend over it?

i bought my first turtable set up for 45, more into new needle got cleaning supplies for another 20.00 and had to make a powercord for it. So for around 80-100 so far... i got a 4-500 dollar system.

Thanks, Record-ology, for another fun video and a great demonstration of those Funk Firm products. However, to my ears at least and while listening to your demo with a pair of excellent Sony CS5 speakers, I honestly heard only subtle before-and-after differences at best or hardly any differences at all, so considering the hefty prices of those products, particularly when converting from British pounds to Canadian dollars (as well as to U.S. dollars), the miniscule improvements, if any, are not worth the price tags in my humble opinion, but to each his or her own, of course. It's all a matter of personal taste and choices. I'm sure that any significant sound improvements are more apparent when listening to those products in-person versus hearing via YouTube, sound compression, etc. Thanks though, Record-ology, for always introducing us here to new and interesting products. This was still time well-spent. All the best, my friend. :)

Fantastic video! I subscribed to the channel but I have a question I will appreciate your answer. Where can I get that raised headshell to accomodate the Houdini cartridge isolator. I know they are called. “Cobra headshell” but I am unable to find who sells it. I need to secure one before I order the houdini. I have a recently acquired new Technics sl1200 GR turntable with an Ortofon bronze cartridge. Please help! Thanks. Luis

I did hear the difference between the two. The firm made your cartridge come alive with more detail just more highs! But like others said I wouldn't go for anyone because the prices are very high!

Record ology your utube videos are awesome my friend 😅😊
